Fueled By Ramen trio Meet Me @ The Altar might be winding down from their tour support 5 Seconds Of Summer, but they’re not stopping the fun. Today, the “Garden” artists launched a deluxe edition of their debut LP Past // Present // Future, as well as a brand-new music video.
Featuring bouncy basslines and urgent pop-punk vocal screams courtesy of their dynamic vocalist Edith Victoria, the band reveals their musical maturity on the deluxe track music video for “Changes.” Check out the new vintage-inspired video below.
Other new tracks featured on the extended album include “Give It Up,” “Take Me Away,” and “Strangers.” Frankly, the Freaky Friday cover might rival the original…just saying!
When the band was preparing to release their debut album back in March, idobi had the chance to catch up with the musicians and chat about Past // Present // Future. Edith Victoria said, “What I am very excited about, though, is getting rid of those pop-punk dudes who only love pop-punk. I can’t wait to weed them out.”

Guitarist/bassist Téa Campbell added, “We’re not making music for you, we’re making music for us. If you like it, that’s so cool, thanks for being here. But if you don’t…okay, no one’s forcing you to listen to our music?”
Honestly, this trio took pop-punk and made it their own, and invited in so many new people to experience the genre in a new and more hopeful light. They are definitely the present and future of the industry.
