WHAT IT IS: This San Diego-based band’s origins lie in the near-lifelong friendship between Dawson Daugherty and Luke Fabry. After a chance encounter while surfing, the two musicians joined forces, enlisted third member Cole Clisby and started dreaming up songs with a distinctly California vibe. With their larger-than-life energy, effortless charm and sing-along-ready anthems, the trio went from self-booking shows in the back room of a local surf shop to touring arenas with AJR and collaborating with Mark Needham (The Killers, Imagine Dragons). Showcasing their sun-kissed signature style, almost monday have laid the groundwork for their forthcoming EP later this year.
