“If you’re looking for fun music with catchy hooks, talented musicians and vocalists who can actually sing well, this is a band you need to check out.”-Punknews.org

It is not even past noon and yet the hot sun is already torturing the hundreds of cars parked outside the Warped Tour gates in Denver. The seemingly endless line is just about inside, which means only one thing for the Tallahassee, Florida based quintet known as Mayday Parade: about ten hours of absolutely nothing to do but wait. They already spent the last few hours walking up and down the line of kids at the entrance making new friends and more importantly, new fans. When the show finally ends later that evening the boys will once again strap on their book bags full of cds and talk to anyone and everyone they can find. “The hardest part was the waiting. Most of the time our van would be blocked in and there was nowhere to go,” says guitarist Brooks Betts. “It was too hot to sleep and except for a couple of times, we couldn’t even get into the show.”

By the conclusion of the 2006 Vans Warped Tour, Mayday Parade made 10,000 new fans without playing a single show. Now with 221,000+ MySpace friends, features in everything from Alternative Press to Outburn to Substream, and several nationwide and UK tours under their belt, the band is set to take 2009 by storm. After a fall run on “The Compromising of Integrity, Morality & Principles in Exchange for Money Tour” with All Time Low, Every Avenue, and The Maine, along with a major music festival in the UK and a stop in Japan with Paramore, under their belt as well.

Why dont we all stop complaining about how the band isnt the same anymore because Lancaster's gone. Its his loss. Mayday Parade is still Mayday Parade.. and if you say their lyrics arent as deep and meaningful, or whatever, thats crap. The new cd, in my opinion is just as good. Its different, sure, but its a good different. And they definitely dont sound like other bands still. So stop whining and enjoy good music from a great band. :)

I agree, but what bothers me is that Derek has a beautiful voice and the duets and acapella are the most powerful parts of their songs and I've seen them live 4 times so I know Derek is capable of the same thing. i'm still in love with mayday though, their music is amazing!

I mean let's be honest, Lancaster made Mayday different from all the generic pop-punk bands out there. He wrote some killer melodies and some wicked lyrics. I honestly didn't know he left or who he was until I couldn't understand why the bassist was so horrible singing live (I assumed he was the voice on the album). It was only after I read a story and found GO RADIO that I found out what happened. The new album is good, don't get me wrong. But it's good generic pop-punk and that's not what made me fall for Mayday Parade. Maybe I am written of as some hater, but I honest love Mayday. I still will go see them live because they put on one hell of a show. But this album, I'm sorry, is nothing compared to what Lancaster could write.

Their new album is SOOO much different. I'm not sure what I think of it yet. But I saw them at last year's Warped, & I'm seeing them next month, so I'll assess their live performance ahah.
