Cassadee Pope, Mike Gentile, Alex Lipshaw, Chris Gentile, and Patrick McKenzie make up the members of Hey Monday, a pop punk band from West Palm Beach, Florida.

Hey Monday released their debut album Hold On Tight in 2008, which produced the singles “Homecoming” and “How You Love Me Now.”

The band released three more albums after Hold On Tight, and is currently on a hiatus. According to Mike Gentile, the reason for the hiatus was so that the members could focus on “other aspects of [their] musical expression.”

Hey Monday is still a band… however, we are currently focusing on other aspects of our musical expression. As you all know, Cassadee Pope is pursuing a solo endeavor… In lieu of this down time, I am pursuing new music; playing and writing with a new band.

Cassadee Pope has in fact pursued a solo endeavor, and been very successful with it. Since the beginning of her solo career in 2012, she has released three albums, and on December 18, 2012, she became the first female winner of The Voice.
