Meet Me at the Altar is an American pop-punk band that has made significant strides in the music industry since their formation in 2015. The band was born out of a unique collaboration between Téa Campbell and Ada Juarez, who connected through YouTube. Their initial friendship blossomed into a musical partnership, leading to the recruitment of vocalist Edith Victoria through online auditions. This innovative approach to band formation set the stage for their future success, showcasing their commitment to inclusivity and creativity in the music scene.
In 2020, the band gained widespread recognition, bolstered by endorsements from pop-punk icons like Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low and Dan Campbell of The Wonder Years. Their signing with Fueled by Ramen marked a pivotal moment in their career, allowing them to re-release their hit single “Garden” and introduce new music to a broader audience. The release of their debut EP, Model Citizen, in August 2021 further solidified their presence in the pop-punk genre, demonstrating their ability to resonate with fans and critics alike.
The band’s dynamic performances have also contributed to their rising profile. In 2022, they showcased their talent at major events such as Lollapalooza and TwitchCon, and had the honor of opening for legendary band Green Day. These opportunities not only highlighted their energetic stage presence but also their growing fanbase and industry respect.
In early 2023, Meet Me at the Altar made their television debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where they announced their highly anticipated debut album, Past // Present // Future. Released on March 10, 2023, the album features the lead single “Say It (To My Face),” further establishing the band as a formidable force in the pop-punk landscape. With their infectious sound and unwavering dedication, Meet Me at the Altar continues to inspire and connect with audiences around the world.
