Meet Me at the Altar was formed in 2015 when Téa Campbell met Ada Juarez through YouTube; the latter had posted a number of videos covering pop punk songs, and Campbell subsequently reached out.[3] In time, the two developed a friendship that turned into the band. To locate a vocalist, Campbell and Juarez held auditions online.[3] Edith Victoria was one of the individuals who tried out for the position, submitting a rendition of Paramore's "All I Wanted."[4][6] The name of the band refers to a text conversation between Campbell and Victoria, as Billboard notes: "The [name] stems from a text message Juarez sent Victoria in a bonding moment: 'I was like "marry me!"' says Campbell, 'and she typed, "meet me @ the altar."'"[4]
In 2020, the band went viral, partially in part of receiving public endorsements of pop punk veterans Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low and Dan Campbell of The Wonder Years.[7] In October 2020, the band was subsequently signed to Fueled by Ramen.[4] After re-releasing "Garden" under Fueled By Ramen, they released their first new single under the label, "Hit Like a Girl", in March 2021.[8]
Their debut EP for a record label, Model Citizen, released on August 13, 2021.[9]
In 2022 the band will be performed at several large venues such as Lollapalooza,[10] TwitchCon, as well as opening for Green Day.[11]
The band's musical style is commonly described as pop punk.[12][13][14][7] Some publications have compared their musical style to another female-fronted pop punk band, Paramore.[4][5][15][16]
