All roads lead to California. So many lifestyles, traditions, and personalities simmer in the melting pot of The Golden State. almost monday channel a musical alchemy befitting of their Southern California roots. After countless garage jams, D.I.Y. 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. The group’s 2020 debut EP don’t say you’re ordinary consistently surprises on each of its four tracks driven at full speed by the lead single “broken people.”
“We access so many different inspirations in terms of how we create,” states Dawson. “We’re pulling from a lot of stuff. Hopefully, it causes the songs to be unpredictable. At the same time, we can never get away from San Diego. It’s a piece of who we are. The laidback and chill energy finds its way into what we do somehow.”
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 innerworkings 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 carefully cultivated a signature style and built up a following with a series of D.I.Y. gigs. As fans of producer Mark Needham [The Killers, Fleetwood Mac], they sent him a cold email and received a response. He emerged as 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 don’t say you’re ordinary with Mark and Simon as producers.
“That trip was sick,” Cole recalls. “We brought our skateboards and shared an Airbnb with no air conditioning in the middle of summer. Simon’s studio was in this abandoned shoe factory, so it had a cool Brooklyn vibe. It was definitely a crazy experience.”
“We learned so much,” adds Luke. “Simon has really become like a big brother to us.”
Kicking off 2020 and paving the way for the EP, they 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 up 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 over 5 million combined audio and video streams so far. Additionally, Sofi Tukker contributed a dynamic and danceable late night-ready remix. “broken people” transmits an overarching mission statement for the band.
“We wanted to write a song for people to celebrate the idea that they’re not perfect and that’s okay,” Dawson goes on. “In the world we live in now, you think you need to be perfect, because you see everybody’s ‘perfection’ online. It’s very easy to feel inadequate because of how much exposure there is to everyone putting the greatest hits of their lives online. We tried to write an anthem about being yourself and embracing who you are.”
That core message courses through their debut EP including the title track “don’t say you’re ordinary.”
Cole adds, “We want to reinforce the idea that you’re great for just being here. Too many people write themselves off as ‘ordinary’. It’s as if they disappear in the background. However, we want to celebrate everyone’s individuality.”
“Each song has a different meaning,” Luke leaves off. “We’re saying what’s on our mind, but it all comes back to acceptance of yourself.”
With more music on the horizon, almost monday never stop surprising.

Earlier this year, almost monday, who People Magazine declared an “emerging artist making their mark on the musical landscape,” released their sophomore EP til the end of time. The record’s first single “live forever” was met with praise by many critics including music tastemaker Zane Lowe, who personally world-premiered the tune on his Apple Music Beats 1 radio show, and EARMILK, who described it as “a fun, upbeat sing-along track that enlists a festival-ready chorus sure to rock stages when live touring returns.” On its heels, “hailey beebs” coasts along on a downtempo groove wrapped in warm shimmering keys. Dawson delivers the quotable reprise with playful swagger before confidently carrying the swooning refrain, “I’m alive with you.” Ones To Watch called it the “perfect summer song” and praised the group–rounded out by guitarist Cole Clisby and bassist Luke Fabry–by saying they “should be everyone’s go-to for an instant mood-booster.” Elsewhere on the EP, “this is growing up” gallops from a danceable groove into the rush of an arena-sized hook, while the title track “til the end of time” hops along on tambourine and a funky riff towards a bright and bold refrain. The EP closes out with a stripped-down version of “this is growing up.”
til the end of time follows almost monday’s debut EP don’t say you’re ordinary. Despite being released in the middle of a pandemic, the trio was able to make waves with their first single “broken people.” It landed them a Top 20 spot on Alternative Radio and led to a collab with GRAMMY-nominated duo Sofi Tukker. To date, the group has generated more than 50 million combined audio and video streams and have been declared ones to watch in 2021 by GQ, FLAUNT Magazine, Amazon Music, Shazam and more.
Showing no signs of slowing down, almost monday will continue their festival run at this year’s Summerfest Music Festival, Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, BottleRock Napa Valley Music Festival and Firefly Music Festival.

Los Angeles (July 10, 2020) – Alt-pop trio almost mondayhave teamed up with GRAMMY-nominated Sofi Tukkerfor the remix of their debut single “broken people.”The track is available everywhere today.
Click HERE to listen.
almost monday (vocalist Dawson Daugherty, guitarist Cole Clisby and bassist Luke Fabry) have already racked up impressive stats with nearly 2 millionSpotify streams and over 653kviews on YouTube following the release of their latest single “come on come on,” the energetic and genre-defying track “parking lot view” and “broken people,” which was met with praise from multiple indie outlets.
The Kollectioncalled “broken people” an “indie-pop single showcasing Daugherty’s powerful vocal abilities aside groovy guitar licks, disco strings and a rhythmic bass line,” and the UK’s Indie Midlands said, “The Bruno Mars-like pin-sharp funk melds with a cornucopia of sumptuous MGMT-esque synths. The Indie-rock sensibility remains at its core but it has a layer of good-times and beach-party bristling on top.” The band tapped Sofi Tukker for the remix to put a throbbing, ‘90s house-inspired jungle pop spin on the track.
almost monday’s debut material artfully mines such influences as David Bowie, Gorillaz, Justice, and Prince while revealing the many eclectic elements that inspired them to make music: Cole’s passion for rock (sparked in part by attending countless blink-182 and Foo Fighters shows as a kid), Luke’s longtime love of The Beatles, and Dawson’s childhood exposure to seminal alt-rock bands like U2 and The Smiths. The band instills each song with the same unstoppable exuberance they bring to their onstage performance.
ABOUT ALMOST MONDAY:
almost monday’s origins lie in the near-lifelong friendship between Dawson Daugherty (vocals), and Luke Fabry (bass), who grew up playing music together. After crossing paths with Cole Clisby (guitar) while surfing, the three multi-instrumentalists headed into the garage and started dreaming up songs with a distinctly California feel. They got their start playing self-booked shows in their hometown of San Diego, soon drawing a loyal following on the strength of their larger-than-life energy, effortless charm, and sing-along-ready anthems.
They’ve gone from performing in the back room of a local surf shop to collaborating with Mark Needham (The Killers and Imagine Dragons). Starting with “broken people” and “parking lot view,” the band will continue to release a steady stream of music throughout 2020, introducing the world to their brand of alt-pop: irresistibly fun and impossibly feel-good.

San Diego trio, almost monday premiere the new video for their irresistible debut track “broken people.” “Distinctly poppy, both the track and the video retain a very indie allure, magnifying the overall appeal and transcending the cookie-cutter pop stereotype,” noted The Kollection.
With a nod to Risky Business and The Truman Show, the concept for the video was built around the credo of not caring what others think, being yourself, having fun, and dancing like nobody’s watching. The band accomplishes all of that in the feel-good video with the help of director Caleb Gonz. Watch it HERE.
“This video was made by us and our friends,” says the band. “We steamed sheets for way too many hours, shot half of it at Dawson’s Grandma’s house (thanks nanny!), and invited our schoolmates to jump around in Cole’s living room. All in all, our first music video came out perfectly imperfect.”
With its soulful melodies and shimmery textures, “broken people” delivers a down-to-earth message of resilience in the face of failure. In crafting the lyrics, the now 21-year old frontman Dawson Daugherty drew directly from experience – how he felt appearing on a singing competition show his sophomore year of high school. “It was pretty gnarly getting shut down in front of millions of people and then having to go back to school and face everyone,” he recalls. “But after a while I realized: I shouldn’t stop doing what I love, I should go start a band with my friends. That experience ended up fueling everything for me.”
