Welcome to the
4th
Hey Monday/Cassadee Pope
Appreciation Thread

Hey Monday was formed in March 2008 after Cassadee Pope and Mike Gentile's former band Blake broke up. Pope and Gentile wanted to continue playing music and began holding auditions for a new band around their local Florida music scene. Pope and Gentile
quickly recruited rhythm guitarist Alex Lipshaw and drummer Elliot James. Soon afterward they enlisted bassist Michael "Jersey" Moriarty and Hey Monday was formed. They were discovered when Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz
heard one of their demos while he was in the Crush Management office. Wentz wanted to sign them to his label, Decaydance, but Columbia Records was also interested so the band ended up signing a joint deal with both labels. They recorded their debut album, Hold On Tight,
throughout the Summer of 2008 and it released later that Fall on October 7.

Hey Monday spent the beginning of 2010 to finish writing and recording their upcoming album, Beneath It All. On July 23, Cassadee Pope announced that Beneath It All will now be released as a 6 Song EP rather than a full length album.
She also said that a full length album will be out very early next year and they will be touring for a longer period of time. Anyone who previously preordered any Beneath It All package before this announcement was not, and will not be charged for it and will have to re-preorder,
as the package has changed. Hey Monday then played the entire Warped Tour 2010 on the Altec Lancing stage.

Hey Monday performed their single "I Don't Wanna Dance" and another song from their album Beneath It All titled "Wish You Were Here" on Jimmy Kimmel live on September 22, 2010. Although Cassadee Pope and Mike Gentile were the only official members of the band
at the performance the fill-in musicians wore shirts with the absent band member's pictures on them. In The Fall of 2010, Patrick McKenzie became the permanent drummer.

Right after Warped Tour, Hey Monday announced that Jersey would be leaving the band. Chris Gentile has since then been filling in on bass.

On February 8, 2011, Hey Monday released Candles (EP) digitally and released a music video for Candles on March 9th. Hey Monday will be writing and recording their second full-length in the summer.
