Matt Quinn and Sam Cooper first met in high school in Philadelphia and later reconnected in Los Angeles in 2016. Their shared love for music led them to collaborate once again. They named the project after a mountain in Valley Forge National Park near their hometown. Their debut single, "Astrovan," gained rapid streaming success, attracting the attention of drummer Sotiris Eliopoulos and keyboardist Jackie Miclau.
The band made their debut in 2016 with the release of their single "Astrovan," which was recorded in Los Angeles by Quinn, Cooper, and Byrnes.
In 2017, Mt. Joy signed with Dualtone Records, further solidifying their presence in the music industry. This was followed by the release of three singles in 2017: "Sheep," "Cardinal," and "Silver Lining," with the latter reaching the number one spot on the Billboard Triple A charts.
Throughout 2017, the now five-piece band recorded additional tracks with producer Jon Gilbert at his home studio in Pasadena, California, and released their self-titled debut album, Mt. Joy, on March 2, 2018. The song "Silver Lining" went to #1 on the Billboard Triple A charts.
Following their initial success, Mt. Joy embarked on extensive touring, performing at festivals such as Bonnaroo, Newport Folk Festival, and Lollapalooza, while also opening for notable bands like The Head and the Heart, The Shins, Whitney, and The Revivalists. They also headlined their own North American and European tours.
Unfortunately, their tour with The Lumineers was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Undeterred, Mt. Joy released their second studio album, "Rearrange Us," on June 5, 2020. The album was produced by Tucker Martine, known for his work with My Morning Jacket and Modest Mouse. The songs on "Rearrange Us" range from folk-stomps to psychedelic reflections and gospel elegies.
In April 2022, the band announced their third full-length album, Orange Blood, which was released on June 17, 2022. The album was recorded at Headroom Studios in Philadelphia. Four singles were released ahead of the album, "Lemon Tree", "Orange Blood," "Evergreen," and "Bathroom Light." Their headlining tour for the album started in June 2022 and runs through November 2022.

A Fé move montanhas mas o dinheiro move o mundo isso nunca vai mudar que com Dinheiro ou sem dinheiro você chega na montanha mas no mundo você não sobreviverá
The lyrics of Mt. Joy's song "${SA APP NEXUS IMP TRACKERS 3 SEC}" address the complex relationship between money and faith. The opening line highlights the notion that money is just paper, but it holds a significant influence on the minds of many individuals. It speaks to the contradiction of individuals who claim to prioritize spirituality and put God first but are still driven and affected by the pursuit of wealth. The lyrics also mention the disappointment of seeing people prioritize money over genuine connections and the importance of family.
The second paragraph further explores the impact of money on the world. It states that while faith can move mountains, money has the power to move the entire world. This line alludes to the enduring reality that money plays a significant role in society, regardless of one's belief system. It emphasizes that money can allow access to opportunities and enable people to reach their goals, but without it, survival becomes more challenging.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of disillusionment with the prevailing influence of money in society and how it can overshadow genuine values, relationships, and spirituality.

Dinheiro é só papel mas é um papel cabuloso
Money is just paper, but a powerful paper
que ultimamente tá entrando na mente de vários
that is lately entering the minds of many
que se diz ser pé no chão
who claim to be down to earth
que coloca Deus na frente
who put God first
mas infelizmente o dinheiro sempre tá lado
but unfortunately, money is always there
e tem vários emocionados
and there are many emotional ones
como diz o projota desinteressados não abraça a Mãe
as Projota says, indifferent ones who don't embrace their Mother
faz uma cota é que pra mim pouco importa oque eu aconteceu
make a quota, it doesn't matter to me what happened
porque no mundo que eu vivo quem não pode errar sou eu
because in the world I live in, I'm the one who can't make mistakes
tiro o chapéu pra minha Mãe que nunca me abandonou
I take my hat off to my Mother who never abandoned me
quem sempre fechou comigo independente de onde eu to
who always stood by me regardless of where I am
e sempre fez por amor e nunca pelo Cifrão
and always did it out of love, never for the money
tem prova melhor que essa ? Eu também acho que não
is there a better proof than that? I also think not
A Fé move montanhas
Faith moves mountains
mas o dinheiro move o mundo
but money moves the world
isso nunca vai mudar
that will never change
que com Dinheiro ou sem dinheiro você chega na montanha
that with or without money, you can reach the mountain
mas no mundo você não sobreviverá
but in the world, you won't survive

The rapid disc movement story interaction between father and son reminds me how my dad got me into classic doom as a 13 year old
I was playing a cool math game on my computer and my dad remarks 'what stupid game are you playing? That's crap, you want to play a REAL game look up Doom'
I look up doom and end up falling in love with the game and 12 years later it remains my favourite video game. Im so happy it has stayed relevant to the public to this day and i love how the community around it is one of the most wholesome ones Ive witnessed..
Also made a doomgirl cosplay for myself which is the best costume i own and something im proud of
What makes me smile about the memory is that my dad stopped me from playing an educational game to play a shooting game with a hardcore soundtrack
