Past // Present // Future
Meet Me @ The Altar, the pop-punk trio of lead vocalist Edith Victoria, drummer Ada Juarez, and guitarist Téa Campbell, met on the internet—from different corners of the United States, all three knew they wanted to start a band, and they wanted to do it with other women of color, a rarity in their chosen musical genre.
