We know, we know, we're the ones who told you Hey Monday's leading lady looks and sounds a bit like Paramore's Hayley Williams. But guess what: she could do a lot worse. Yes, singer Cassadee Pope has similar highlights -- and high notes -- to the "Misery Business" singer, but the 19-year-old (who's also been called Avril-y by some) has more important things to deal with than whether or not she kinda, sorta reminds you of someone else.
Like, for instance, the fact that her emo-punk band -- which includes bassist Jersey Moriarty, drummer Elliot James and guitar heroes Mike Gentile and Alex Lipshaw -- is about to wrap up their tour with Cash Cash and We The Kings ... and head out on the road with Fall Out Boy, Metro Station and All Time Low (!!!!). And that her boss is basically Pete Wentz.
So quit with the comparisons (again, totally admit to being hypocritical here...) and just appreciate Hey Monday's latest -- the a poptastic smash that is "Homecoming" -- in its own right. Oh, and consider this: Maybe Hayley Williams just sounds like her.
+ Bonus: Hey Monday has their own Tumblr! Let the cyber-stalking begin!
