So I'm 32 and I've been into pop punk & alt. rock since I was a teen. My music taste has become more eclectic since then, but pop punk and alt. rock are my roots. And one of my favorite bands is Meet Me @ The Altar: Edith Victoria (vocals), Téa Campbell (guitarist), and Ada Juarez (drums). I've been following their music since 2020 & I'm happy to say that their debut album Past Present Future RAWKS.
Every single member of the band shines bright on this album and their music is the album I needed as a Black depressed teen who felt bad that I was listening to a genre that was supposedly "for white kids". The lyrics are vulnerable, empowering, and honest in a way that reminds me of artists I liked as a teen like Hilary Duff & Avril Lavigne.
This album has me seeing my own life in a new light. I've done so much since I was a angsty teen and while I am still not exactly where I want to be, I'm glad I'm not where I used to be.
Anyways, here are some of my favorite Meet Me @ The Altar songs, from the new album & their older stuff.
