#Featured Almost Monday brought the party to Royal Oak
What a night! We had the chance to catch the Driver Era last night at the Royal Oak Theatre and we couldn’t pass up the chance to see the newcomer group and our newest addition to our playlist, Almost Monday. There is something about the chaotic nature that Dawson (Vocals) adds to his set. You feel like you are in a never-ending birthday party where the pinata keeps spewing out candy with each hit after hit ( In our case, song after song).
Our personal favorite songs that we enjoyed live were Parking Lot View and Cool Enough. If you were lucky enough you may even get one of their personalized setlists (which some had fun doodles on it). Overall, we found another new favorite for our playlist and if you are planning on attending a Driver Era show, please be sure to check them out.
More about Almost Monday.
Almost monday, first emerging in 2020, has racked up more than 100 million overall streams, uplifting audiences everywhere in the process. Originally from San Diego, the group crafted their 2020 debut EP don’t say you’re ordinary in Brooklyn and Los Angeles with producers Mark Needham (The Killers, Fleetwood Mac) and Simon Oscroft (The Naked and Famous, DREAMERS). It ignited a string of buzzing anthems, beginning with “parking lot view,” “come on come on,” and “broken people,” which cracked the Top 20 at Alternative Radio.
Along the way, they’ve attracted a growing fan base through a combination of danceable rhythms and uplifting hooks. In 2021, they set the stage for their second EP til the end of time with “live forever,” receiving praise from Alternative Press, Forbes, People, GQ Australia, Earmilk, Flaunt, Ones To Watch, and more. The band followed it with a new single “cool enough," made their festival debut at Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, BottleRock and Firefly, and graced stages with Kings of Leon, Dayglow, Walk The Moon and Joywave. They recently wrapped up a tour in South America with The Driver Era and played Governor's Ball. They will play WonderBus and Wonderfront this year.
