Biography

Led by powerhouse vocalist Cassadee Pope, Hey Monday lace their infectious emo-pop with alt-rock guitars and slick studio production. The band formed in West Palm Beach, FL, where Pope was first discovered at a regional music conference. Although still in high school, the singer drew attention from A&R execs with her voice, which recalled the radio-ready wails of Avril Lavigne and Paramore's Hayley Williams. She then formed a band with fellow teenagers Jersey Moriarty (bass), Elliot James (drums), and guitarists Mike Gentile and Alex Lipshaw. Shedding their original name (Blake) in favor of Hey Monday, the group won over A&R exec Jay Harren, who signed the band to Columbia Records. Hey Monday then entered the recording studio with S*A*M & Sluggo, the production team behind albums by Metro Station and the Academy Is..., and readied the release of their debut record. Hold on Tight arrived in October 2008 under a joint partnership with Columbia and Pete Wentz's vanity label, Decaydance. ~ Andrew Leahey, All Music Guide

History

Vocalist Cassadee Pope

After graduating high school, Cassadee Pope formed the band Blake with good friend Mike Gentile, Blake was about to get signed, but the band fell apart before this was made possible. Mike and Cassadee still wanted to stay in the music industry so Cassadee and Mike got together with Elliot James, Alex Lipshaw, and Jersey Moriarty forming Hey Monday.[2] Alex Wilhelm of A&R Website CrazedHits.com then discovered the band while they were in the process of being signed to Columbia Records.[3][4] Their debut album Hold on Tight was released worldwide on October 7, 2008 via Decaydance and Columbia Records.[5][6] Their first single from the album, "Homecoming", was featured on the CitizensFOB mix-tape Welcome to the New Administration. Lead singer Cassadee was also featured in the song "Take My Hand" by The Cab on the mixtape. Cassadee made an appearance in Fall Out Boy's video America's Suitehearts. She has a guest appearance as herself in the Degrassi: The Next Generation TV Movie, Degrassi Goes Hollywood along with Pete Wentz. The song "Should've Tried Harder" appears on the videogame Major League Baseball 2K9. A part of their song, "Homecoming", appears during a Girls Next Door commercial on E!.

On October 9, 2009, it was annouced via Cassadee Pope's Twitter and through the band's journal on friendsorenemies.com that Elliot James has decided to leave the band, and they all wish him the best of luck. They also added that their good friend Patrick McKenzie would be playing drums for them on the Glamour Kills Tour but no official replacement has been announced yet.
