Mayday Parade

Mayday Parade has established itself as an influential American rock band, known for its consistent musical output and dedicated fanbase across numerous tours and six studio albums. After selling over 50,000 copies of their independently released debut EP, Tales Told by Dead Friends, in 2006, American rock band Mayday Parade went on to sign with Fearless Records in August 2006, setting the stage for a prolific career defined by consistent musical output and dedicated touring. Comprised of Derek Sanders (vocals), Alex Garcia (lead guitar), Brooks Betts (rhythm guitar), Jeremy Lenzo (bass, backing vocals), and Jake Bundrick (drums, backing vocals), the band’s debut studio album, A Lesson in Romantics, was released in July 2007, reaching number eight on the US Heatseekers Albums chart. The album later achieved RIAA Gold certification, demonstrating their significant emerging commercial appeal in the pop-punk and emo scenes.

Their highly anticipated EP, Out of Here, followed in 2020, showcasing their continued evolution. Their seventh studio album, What It Means to Fall Apart, was released in 2021, and the band continues to actively tour, maintaining a strong connection with their fanbase. Looking ahead, Mayday Parade has embarked on a three-part album project for 2025, with the first installment, Sweet, already released, and the second, Sad, slated for release in October, promising new material for their dedicated global audience.
