When I first got their album I REALLY liked them. When I saw them live, however, I was a bit disappointed. They're not as good live as they are in studio, but I still really like them.
Josey will always be one of my favorite songs ~ <3
What I dislike is people hating on them by saying they're trying to be like Paramore.
I can't really go around youtube videos without reading comments comparing them and arguments.
Both of them are unique in their own way. Seriously, what's the similarities? The only thing that's the same is that Cassadee and Hayley are female. I adore Hey Monday and Paramore. I really like how Hey Monday isn't afraid to show that they're kind of in the pop genre, too. Like I said, their style is different from Paramore's but both are amazing bands.
People need to stop classifying them as just "Paramore Wannabes".
Hey Monday is love! I really wish they'd stop comparing them to paramore, though. yeah, they have a female lead, lots of bands do. i mean they never compare evanescence to paramore. i personally dont like paramore. thats just my opinion. i hope hey monday go far.
I think they're okay and they do sound like a kind of sweeter and more poppy version of Paramore. I probably wouldn't buy any of their albums (if they make another one) since they're not my style, but congratulations on doing something they love.
Well, let me just say, more people dislike them than I thought.
I'm one of them.
And though you mentioned that they are easily compared to Paramore, I'd say that paramore is better (not by much, and in my opinion that never mattered) aaand it's pop-tastic. =P
I love them! The ONLY reason they're compared to Paramore is because they are both female-fronted and have otherwise all-male musicians.
They're both kinda pop-rocky, too.
Good article, by the way.
Nicely written.
I don't really like Hey Monday. I like one or two of their songs but besides that, they're not very good.
I can see why they're compared to Paramore. They do sound an awfully lot like them.
