"I was excited to buy this cd after seeing the video for "Homecoming" on Fuse. Once I got it, I wasn't at all disappointed. All the songs on the cd are just as good as that one, and some are better. It's rare to see a female-fronted band in this genre (Paramore's the only other I know of...love them!), and as a girl, I can relate better when the songs are from a girl's point of view. My favorite tracks are "How You Love Me Now", "Homecoming", "Josey", and "Arizona". I hope this band gets more exposure and goes far!"
So glad i found them!

"This Album is a break from the normal pop scene. Backed with strong vocals and creative lyrics that often transcend the teen years this Album delivers."
IMPRESSIVE!!!

"An easy comparison would be Paramore, but really, these guys (and girl) have a MUCH better powerpop sensibility. Either you have it or you don't, and the Mondays (can't help but think of "Office Space", haha, or Happy Mondays) sure as hell do.
First off, Cassadee has one of the sweetest, most impressive girlpop voices I've ever heard, and I've been listening to music for over 35 years. And the tunes resonate, they have amazing choruses, and their guitars have a nice mix of crunch & shimmer.
In reality, the Mondays are closer to KILLERsweet girl-fronted powerpop bands like Letters To Cleo and Damone, even the Muffs, Bangles & Go Gos, and they could also appeal to the Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato crowd...this is a good thing folks.
They seem like a fun band live, with zero attitude. Steve's show had the "Homecoming" vidclip, and the Mondays had me at hello, and I wanted to hear more, so I bought HOT...I was more than impressed. I just wish it came out earlier in the year, not the tail-end, so it would have made my 2008 best-of list...the single did tho, and I might have to cheat on my upcoming 2009 lists to squeeze this in.
Oh, another 2 fave tunes are the Butch Walker cowrite "How You Love Me Now" and the amazing "Arizona"...are the Mondays from AZ??? If they are, cool, they will have to hang with my boys Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers. This rekkid is so chock-full of great potential singles and hits that it's positively scary.
I can def see the Mondays dominating 2009...good on Pete Wentz for signing HM early to his label and Rick Rubin & the rest of Columbia for hopping on board later."
Hold on Tight to Hey Monday's Album

"I first heard hey monday on the citizensforourbetterment mixtape, and i was blow away by the snippit of "homecoming" it was incredibly catchy and in general awsome. i couldnt wait to buy the album. i mainly bought the album for homecoming and to just check them out, i wasnt expecting anything big. i was sure surprised when i heard this album
the lead singer, cassadee pope, has a beutiful voice that rivals gretta sapler and hayley williams's voices.
iveheard some say that hey monday is the new paramore. thats a load of crap. they are compleatly differant and better than paramore.
anyway, my current favorite i obvious. its a cute song, notso deep lyricly, but i find myself entranced by the sound. [voice and instraments]
tracks i reccomend-
ALL of them!!!
every. single. track. is musical genious, prom the lyrics to the music.
basicly, this album is amazing and youre really missing out if you dont have it yet."
