Welcome to Young Hollywood. com. Hey there, Young Hollywood. We're hanging out with Hey Monday.

Hey.

Hey guys. So let's go through and introduce each one of you and tell me your favorite day of the week besides Monday.

My name's Alex and I like Tuesday.

My name's Cassidy and I love Saturdays.

My name's Mike and I'm gonna go with Wednesday.

I'm Jersey and my favorite day of the week currently is Sunday.

How did you guys all meet each other?

Uh, man. Well, me and Cas used to play in bands with uh Alex's old band. And then those bands broke up and we kind of formed this band, uh, and got Jersey in through like mutual friends and and uh he used to intern at the label and stuff. So it was kinda just everybody coming together like wanting to play music.

So you're the only chick in the band. How is it being the only damsel amongst all these fellas? And I hold your own, you know?

Um, sometimes it's it's a little uh, you know, thinking about it, it it gets a little weird sometimes to think that I am the only girl because it's I never really think about it. But um, it's fun, never a dull moment. And um, they're like my brothers, so it's it's always a good time.

So what kind of sound should we expect off the album? Is it similar to your last album?

It's a little similar. Um, it's definitely more mature this time around, more organic and it's got like a 90s feel to it, which we're really excited about. Um, the lyrics, uh, I'm really proud of.

Any cool collaborations on this album or is it just you guys?

Uh, there was a bunch. Uh we did a song with Butch Walker, which was we love uh Matt Scanell from Vertical Horizons. Uh we did songs with Sam and Slogo, producers.

You guys definitely seem like you're an inspiration to a lot of young musicians. Who inspired you guys as you were coming up in the music world?

Um, I grew up in I grew up in New Jersey, I still live there, but uh, a lot of the uh, you know, the local legends like Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen. I mean, Bruce was huge.

Blink 182, New Found Glory, Green Day.

Michelle Branch was a huge influence and still is. Um, Avril Lavigne, especially your old stuff. Um, I was always a really big fan of Olivia Newton John, um, her voice is always amazing to me. And um, believe it or not, like Mariah Carey, when she first started, she was like kind of the reason I wanted to start singing in the first place.

I was always really, when I was younger, into like bands, like Blink 182 and stuff like that, like pop rock.

Is there any dream collaboration? Anybody you wish you could work with?

I think it'd be really awesome to work with Patrick and Pete, Fall Out Boy, cuz that was another huge, huge band for all of us growing up. And then we got to tour with them and stuff. And they're just all like musically so talented and just awesome people. So I think it'd be really cool to like sit in a room with them and see what happens.

Yeah. Hi, we're Hey Monday. Um thank you to Young Hollywood for hanging out with us. Sorry.
