This punk-pop rock band known as Hey Monday resembles the style that you can find in all of the music that Avril Lavigne and Paramore produce. All of them seem to have similar high pitched vocal styles and punk rock guitar riffs. Hey Monday has that “umpf†potential that we all know and crave for, to become the next teen craze. 
The music found on their new album Hold On Tight can be considered inspirational music to young teens that are in high school and the situations that they might encounter. In their new album, the songs talk about situations that high school kids might have to go though, such as “Homecoming†and “Josey,†which are prime examples of just that.
“Homecoming†is a song about coming home to those loves we left behind and reminiscing about the times that they had, while in the song “Josey,†the lyrics describe a troubled teen who goes to parties and gets belligerently drunk and how it is just a phase, but one day she will figure it all out.
My only criticism of this record is that it is not that diverse. There are a few songs on this album that do stick out more than the others, but for the most part, everything else seems to blend into each other. However, LOOK OUT! Here comes Hey Monday.
