As much as we love the Chicago rock of Knuckle Puck, it’s a sin that Meet Me @ The Altar is not headlining every show it plays.
The group has only been around for a few years, and the story goes that guitarist Téa Campbell found a Twenty One Pilots cover from drummer Ada Juarez on YouTube, and fell in love with it.
When finally putting a band together, lead singer Edith Johnson auditioned online, got the part, and some six years later, found herself and her new friends opening for the band that brought them together at 97x Next Big Thing.
Months later, the all-female band opens for emo band Hot Mulligan, and Knuckle Puck at Orpheum in Ybor City on Saturday, March 5.
