Background notes
Archive material and source history
Altar formed in Philadelphia around 2002, with Mikey Erg on vocals, Paul Walker on guitar, Michael Gambino on bass, and Matthew Matchuck on drums. Their debut album 'Apathetic' came out in 2004, featuring songs like 'Sexercise' that got attention in the local alternative rock scene.
'Sexercise' became one of their better-known tracks, though its lyrics about sexual liberation drew some criticism at the time. The band followed up with albums like 'Blood Sport' in 2006, which leaned into darker themes, and later worked on 'Broken English'.
Other songs in their catalog include 'Party People,' 'Away From Me,' 'I Live 2 Dance,' and 'Everybody Up.' They kept playing shows around Philadelphia and built a following there through the 2000s.
