In anticipation of their debut album coming later this year, almost monday dropped their first single, “is it too late?” alongside the official music video, directed by longtime friend and collaborator Jack Revell, and shot against the windswept backdrop of Joshua Tree and inside the quirky World Famous Crochet Museum where the band transforms a space filled with crochet animals into a makeshift stage.
As a testament to the band’s expanding global fanbase, Australia’s Triple J gave “is it too late?”, featuring the band’s signature California soundscape of shimmery guitars and feel-good lyrics, its World Premiere this week.
The video release, following Wednesday’s single release, comes ahead of the band’s North American tour dates with Beach Weather in April, with AJR in June-July, and with The Driver Era for a handful of dates in Mexico.

About almost monday: –
After countless garage jams, D.I.Y. gigs in the back of a surf shop, and innumerable hours writing together, almost monday, first emerging in 2020, has racked up more than 400 million overall streams with their sun-soaked signature sound uplifting audiences everywhere in the process.
The San Diego trio—Dawson Daugherty (vocals), Cole Clisby (guitar) and Luke Fabry (bass)—crafted their 2020 debut EP don’t say you’re ordinary with producers Mark Needham (The Killers, Fleetwood Mac) and Simon Oscroft (The Naked and Famous, DREAMERS). Capturing the essence of carefree California vibes, the EP ignited a string of buzzing anthems, beginning with “parking lot view” and “come on come on.” Meanwhile, the lead single “broken people,” and the Sofi Tukker remix, crystallized their sun-kissed style with a bold bass bounce and empowering refrain as it cracked the Top 20 at Alternative Radio. Along the way, they’ve attracted a growing fan base through a combination of danceable rhythms and uplifting hooks.
In 2021, they set the stage for their second EP til the end of time with “live forever,” receiving praise from Alternative Press, Forbes, People, GQ Australia, Earmilk, Flaunt, Ones To Watch, and more. The band followed it with single “cool enough,” made their festival debut at Lollapalooza, BottleRock and Firefly, and graced stages with Kings of Leon, Dayglow, Walk The Moon and Joywave.
almost monday continued to accelerate their momentum in 2022 with a trio of singles inspired by their coastal surroundings, “sunburn,” “cough drops,” and “sun keeps on shining.” The latter was a top 10 hit on Sirius XM Alt Nation and spent multiple weeks in the Top 20 on Alternative Radio making it their second song to do so. It was also the official songs of the 2022 Vans US Open of Surfing. The band embarking on a North and South American tour with The Driver Era, a slew of headline shows including a sold-out NY show at Mercury Lounge, along with festival performances at Governor’s Ball, WonderBus, and Innings Festival and wrapped up the year with headline shows in Japan and South Korea.
