HEY MONDAY Hold On Tight (2009 UK 11-track CD album - Barely out of high school and discovered at a regional music conference where, Cassadee, the band's firecracker of a frontwoman would sing for anyone willing to listen, she attracted the attention of record label scouts at a time when most of her friends weren't even old enough to drive. Less than two years later she's preparing for the release of her band's first album, 'Hold On Tight', a joint venture between Columbia Records andFall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz's Decaydance Records. Produced by S*A*M and Sluggo [The Academy Is, Gym Class Heroes, Metro Station], the album is a free-spirited spin through life's post-adolescent twists, turns, trials and triumphs. From the racing guitars that run rampant through the hot summer sun of 'Arizona,' to the more anxious styling of 'Homecoming' and the empowering ballad 'Candles,' Hey Monday deliver an album that embraces the youthful energy of the musicians that created it. Spiteful breakup songs and bitter observations that an ex has moved on mingle with muffled expressions of independence and a quest for one's self in the world around us.).
