Meet Me @ The Altar are back with new music in advance of their major label debut EP, Model Citizen. The band blends their pop-punk sensibilities with some pretty crushing and anthemic beats on the new track “Feel a Thing” that you can hear in the player below.
Given that the group’s name was inspired by their mutual love of Mortal Kombat, it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that their video for “Feel a Thing” has a very distinctive video game feel. The clip finds the band fighting their way out of an arcade game with the song as its anthemic soundtrack.
“We are SO incredibly excited about Model Citizen being our first major release on Fueled By Ramen – these are absolutely our best songs to date,” the band shared. “Model Citizen was originally a different set of songs, but we decided to throw it all out just days before the EP was due because we knew we could write a more cohesive story with lots of energy. With a heavy easycore influence, we hope Model Citizen knocks everyone out of their seats!”
As for that Model Citizen EP, it’s due Aug. 13 via Fueled By Ramen and you can pre-order / pre-save the set here. The full track listing and artwork can be viewed further down this post.
In anticipation of live music’s return and their new EP, the band will be making the most of chances to play for audiences. They’ve lined up support spots on the Coheed and Cambria / The Used co-headline run and will join nothing.nowhere and All Time Low on separate runs before the calendar year hits 2022.
