Critically acclaimed rock trio Meet Me @ The Altar have released a pop-punk cover of Jonas Brothers’ 2019 smash hit “Sucker.” Swapping out the original’s laidback, summer vibe for crunchy guitars, hard-hitting percussion, and frontwoman Edith Victoria’s powerful vocals, the trio turns the breezy track into an arena-ready pop-punk anthem. “Sucker” is available now on all streaming platforms via Fueled By Ramen.
“On the list of artists who have inspired us to make music and be in a band, the Jonas Brothers sit right at the very top,” shared the group. “They embody everything that’s great about New Jersey, just like our drummer, Ada. We had such a blast putting our own spin on ‘Sucker’ and hope the fans have as much fun with it as we did!”
Meet Me @ The Altar is currently on the road in North America supporting Cavetown and Mother Mother on their Summer Tour 2024. The trek will visit iconic venues including Morrison, CO’s Red Rocks Amphitheater and New York City’s The Rooftop at Pier 17, and will wrap on July 13 in Chicago, IL. Tickets for all dates are available HERE.
Last year, the group unveiled their highly-anticipated debut album Past // Present // Future and its subsequent deluxe offering, which amassed massive critical praise upon release. NPR lauded the record’s “…punchy rhythm section and a momentum that reaches out a hand to yank potential friends into the fun” and noted, “[Edith Victoria] … soars through powerful hook after hook with seeming ease.” “Meet Me @ The Altar shine as voices of their generation,” hailed UPROXX, while SPIN praised the album’s “…memorable lyrics and infectious jams.” Them commended the “earworm-filled LP,” Consequence applauded its “…high-energy percussion, undeniably fun guitar hooks … [and] vibrant vocal abilities,” and Alternative Press celebrated the debut’s “unending optimism.”
Calling upon iconic producer John Fields (Jonas Brothers, P!NK, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato), the album sheds any notion of sonic limitations and was heralded by singles “Say It (To My Face)” (which also soundtracked a national ad campaign for Taco Bell), “Kool,” and “TMI.” The group made their late-night television debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, playing a walloping rendition of “Say It (To My Face),” and followed up with a dynamic performance of “Kool” on The Kelly Clarkson Show, marking their daytime performance debut. The band discussed the album at length with the Zach Sang Show.
