Mayday Parade

After fulfilling their most recent record deal with the release of their seventh studio album What It Means To Fall Apart, Mayday Parade decided to take things into their own hands so they could operate to release music on their own terms and timeline. It’s a space the band hasn’t fully existed in since their self-released debut EP, which sold 50,000 copies without the support of a label.

The pivot brings some much-needed flexibility in support of their personal lives. “It’s extremely exciting and terrifying all at the same time,” shares Jake Bundrick. “There’s obviously a lot more freedom and control,” adds Alex Garcia. That freedom, as Jeremy Lenzo explains it, will allow them to “release new music more consistently as opposed to dropping an album every couple of years.” As such he continues, “we’re going into this with the mindset that each song really needs to stand on its own.”

Mayday Parade cannot wait to share that enthusiasm with their fans this summer as they release new music and hit the road. Their next single is "Pretty Good To Feel Something” and comes out as the band heads out coheadlining this summer’s Sad Summer Festival with longtime friends The Maine. “This is a song about bad things happening that alter your life and how eventually you have to let those things go and move forward. It’s about appreciating what’s left after it’s all said and done,” says Derek Sanders.
