A cult classic band in the emo/alternative rock scene, Mayday Parade have made their name with songs like Miserable At Best, Jamie All Over, and Stay, and hooked fans with their albums A Lesson In Romantics (2007) and Anywhere But Here (2009).

The band continues to be well-received, with recent releases like 2021’s What It Means To Fall Apart. They are also preparing to release a three-part project that begins with Sweet this April.

Discussing their longevity, the band commented, “I think a large part of why we are all still here is that we have been friends most of our lives, even before the band.

“This is everyone’s full-time job and passion. We all love playing music, so the fire is still alive. We have created something important to us, and it’s imperative that we maintain it by giving it the requisite attention.”
