Editor's note

Mayday Parade's earnest melodic rock and heartache anthems

A Florida band that built a catalog on relationship songs and melodic rock since 2005.

For their particular blend of earnest rock and relationship songs, 'Jamie All Over' and 'Miserable At Best' still frame what they do. They've been working in that space from 'Monsters in the Closet' to 'Black Lines.'

They've been writing about relationships and heartache in a way that connects with their audience for nearly two decades. Songs like 'Jamie All Over' got them wider attention, while 'Miserable At Best' and 'Terrible Things' show their particular knack for this territory. Their sound has stayed in that melodic rock space they carved out early on.

They formed in Tallahassee in 2005 with Derek Sanders on vocals. Their early sound came together on the EP 'Tales Told by Dead Friends,' and they kept putting out albums even after some label trouble in 2010. The lineup shifted over time, with keyboardist Micah Kurzner joining in 2012.

Archive material and source history

Mayday Parade formed in Tallahassee, Florida in 2005 with Derek Sanders on vocals, Alex Garcia and Brooks Betts on guitars, Jeremy Lenzo on bass, and Jake Bundrick on drums. Their early sound came together on the EP 'Tales Told by Dead Friends,' which had the kind of earnest, melodic rock that would become their calling card.

Their second album, 'Anywhere But Here,' included 'Jamie All Over,' a song that got them wider attention. Other tracks like 'Miserable At Best' and 'Terrible Things' showed their knack for writing about relationships and heartache in a way that connected with their audience.

In 2010 they had some trouble with their label, Fearless Records, which slowed things down for a bit. The lineup shifted over time too, with keyboardist Micah Kurzner joining in 2012. They kept putting out albums, from 'Monsters in the Closet' to 'Black Lines,' working within that melodic rock space they'd carved out.
