In a scene characterized by edge, these frontmen and women drove their bands’ unique personalities. That’s not to say that they were all distinct.

Hey Monday Hold On Tight You’d be hard-pressed to find any reference to Hey Monday that doesn’t immediately mention Paramore. But any similarities between the two acts are surface at best. For starters, HM vocalist Cassadee Pope has a pronounced sweet tooth: Her powerful, mature singing has much in common with both sassy ’90s acts […]
