Label: Fueled By Ramen
Released: 13th August 2021
Pop-punk. It’s very ‘in’ right now, don’tcha know?
But while most of those so-called scene resetting breakthroughs seem to feature a potential pop kid wailing in the vague vicinity of blink-182’s Travis Barker, Meet Me @ The Altar are something different. Something, dare we say it, better.
Signed to label of note Fueled By Ramen, their debut EP ‘Model Citizen’ is rammed to the rafters with day-glo, razor-sharp future anthems that both recall the legends of pop-punk past, but also herald in a new, more fitting era. We’ve had so many column inches devoted to the death of rock – Meet Me @ The Altar could be the ones to give it life once more.
