Broken People lyrics:
I’m wondering how long I can get by
Seems so wrong but I know I’ll be alright
Only been down for a minute
Feels so long when I’m in it
Holding on to the ticket
Some things are hard to get
Some nights that I regret
But I’m cleaning up the mess
​'Cause we’re all just broken people and we don’t know why
But we’re keeping it together ​'cause we gotta try
​'Cause we’re all just broken people and we don’t know why
But we’re keeping it together ​'cause we gotta try
So caught up I’ve got my back against the wall
Losing hope, I’m broke with no one else to call
Some things are hard to get
Some nights that I regret
But I'm cleaning up the mess
​'Cause we’re all just broken people and we don’t know why
But we’re keeping it together ​'cause we gotta try
​'Cause we’re all just broken people and we don’t know why
But we’re keeping it together ​'cause we gotta try

Almost Monday official bio:
Almost Monday channel a musical alchemy befitting their Southern California roots. After countless garage jams, gigs in the back of a surf shop, and innumerable hours writing together, the San Diego trio-Dawson Daugherty (vocals), Luke Fabry (bass), and Cole Clisby (guitar)-bottle California sunshine in their funky basslines, ecstatic choruses, and danceable grooves. It turns out the world needed some Cali rays during the pandemic as the band managed to emerge in 2020 with an unprecedented 30 million overall streams, uplifting audiences everywhere in the process.
Lifelong friends, Dawson and Luke grew up together. After a chance encounter surfing, Dawson and Cole also connected. Cole had already developed a similar passion for music by playing guitar and attending numerous Blink-182 and Foo Fighters concerts over the years. Through a connected family friend, he got the chance to experience the backstage world and see the inner workings of the business firsthand, only galvanizing his passion further. Together, the boys rallied around music for fun as they organically developed an irreplaceable chemistry.
During college, they formally launched Almost Monday. Inspired by everyone from David Bowie and Prince to Justice and Gorillaz, they cultivated a signature style and built a following with a series of D.I.Y. gigs. As fans of producer Mark Needham (Killers, Fleetwood Mac), they sent him a cold email and got a response. He emerged an early champion and de facto mentor, linking them with producer Simon Oscroft.
Heading East to Brooklyn, they laid the groundwork for what would become their 2020 debut EP, Don’t Say You’re Ordinary. Throughout the year, the EP ignited a string of buzzing anthems, beginning with the shimmying and soaring chants of “Parking Lot View” and nostalgic whistling and keyboard gloss of “Come On Come On.” They opened for multiplatinum indie pop heavyweights AJR and received play on Apple Music’s Beats 1 from none other than tastemaker Zane Lowe. However, the single “Broken People” crystallized their sun-kissed signature style with a bold bass bounce and empowering refrain as it’s generated nearly 32 million combined audio and video streams so far and cracked the Top 20 at Alternative Radio. Additionally, Sofi Tukker contributed a dynamic and danceable late night-ready remix.
This year, the band will continue their festival run at Summerfest, Bonnaroo, BottleRock, and Firefly. With the release of their new single “Cool Enough,” Almost Monday only accelerate their momentum and emerge as the consummate purveyors of future-facing California pop.
