    Meet Me @ The Altar have signed with Fueled by Ramen Records:

    ”Them coming together through YouTube Fueled By Ramen covers felt very serendipitous,” Minardi says. “Every time I would have a conversation with them, they would tell me a tidbit about their biggest inspirations or doing drum covers of Paramore. I kept being like, ‘This is the most obvious thing in the world in the best way possible: To connect and go and try to take on the world together.'”

    The week “Garden” was released, All Time Low’s Alex Gaskarth and The Wonder Years’ Dan “Soupy” Campbell both reached out to Minardi to ask whether he’d signed the band yet. He told them he was working on it. “The band fits so much into the classic, vintage Fueled By Ramn sound, but is also moving it forward,” he says. “They add this mixture of other cool stuff, including these incredible breakdowns and melodies.”

    Great signing. Great band.

    They’ve also released a video for “Garden.”

    This signing feels like a good fit from the perspective of sound and attitude alone. I do hope the label is able to support them in any way they might need as very young women of color.

    Kudos to Minardi and the group for the signing. I'm eager to see them thrive!

    Really cool to hear. Great band putting a new spin on a tired genre. It takes a lot for me to get pumped about bands playing this brand of pop-punk... But they definitely have it! Excited to see what they do next.

    So incredibly excited for them! They're fantastic, and it's refreshing to see a good band doing well that isn't comprised of all white dudes. In fact, look at this fantastic quote from them on Fader:

    Also really nice to see Alex & Soupy using their privilege to lift up voices different from theirs in their music scene.

    Fuck yeah. First heard them from Tate’s 10 songs last year. There is something about their sound that is both throwback and entirely fresh. They get it all right without seeming like copycats. And they can write a hook.

    Can’t wait for a full length.
