History
Formation and Hold On Tight (2008–2009)
Hey Monday was formed in March 2008 after Cassadee Pope and Mike Gentile's former band Blake broke up. Pope and Gentile wanted to continue playing music and began holding auditions for a new band around their local Florida music scene. Pope and Gentile quickly joined forces with drummer Elliot James who then recruited rhythm guitarist Alex Lipshaw. Soon afterward, they enlisted bassist Michael "Jersey" Moriarty and Hey Monday was formed. Pope first caught the attention of A&R execs at a regional music conference.
