Make Out Monday is a Los Angeles-based alternative rock and pop punk band formed in 2014. The group is led by brothers Jeremy and Zack Shada, alongside John Spicer and Seth Renken.
Jeremy Shada's high-profile career as a voice actor (notably Finn in Adventure Time) provided an initial cultural bridge, but the band quickly established a legitimate musical identity through rigorous touring and polished songwriting. Their sound is heavily influenced by the third-wave pop punk of the mid-2000s, specifically citing Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance as foundational inspirations. Critically, they are recognized for their ability to blend the aggression of punk with the melodic accessibility of power pop. Their career arc shows a transition from the raw, guitar-driven energy of their debut EP 'Kicking Cars' toward the more sophisticated, synth-touched alternative rock found on later releases like 'All Part of the Experience'. They occupy a unique space in the 'con-culture' scene, frequently performing at major fan conventions while maintaining a presence in the traditional LA rock circuit.
