Mayday Parade is an acclaimed American rock band formed in Tallahassee, Florida, in 2005. The group emerged from the merger of two local bands, Kid Named Chicago and Defining Moment. They gained significant recognition with their debut EP, “Tales Told by Dead Friends,” released in 2006, selling over 50,000 copies independently.

Their debut studio album, “A Lesson in Romantics,” released in 2007, showcased their unique blend of pop-punk and emo, achieving gold certification from the RIAA. Subsequent albums, including “Anywhere but Here” (2009) and “Mayday Parade” (2011), solidified their reputation, with “Monsters in the Closet” (2013) debuting at number ten on the Billboard 200. The band’s ability to connect with fans through heartfelt lyrics and energetic performances has made them a staple in the pop-punk scene.

In 2018, Mayday Parade signed with Rise Records and released “Sunnyland,” further expanding their musical horizons. Their seventh studio album, “What It Means to Fall Apart,” released in 2021, continued their legacy of impactful songwriting. The band remains active, engaging in tours and releasing new music, including singles like “More Like a Crash” and “Got Me All Wrong” in 2023.
