Mayday Parade is the third studio album by American rock band Mayday Parade. It was released by Fearless on October 4, 2011.

Mayday Parade Band

The album debuted at number 12 on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling near to 27,000 copies in its first week, becoming the band's second highest charted album to date.

Background and production[edit]

In March 2009 it was announced Mayday Parade had signed to Atlantic.[3] While working on their major label debut, Anywhere but Here (2009), Atlantic expected the band to make a pop album.[4] While the band attempted to follow this direction, they were weighed down by 'so much overbearing pressure', according to guitarist Brooks Betts.[4] Vocalist Derek Sanders later recalled that 'there was a lot of outside influence' from Atlantic that resulted in 'a lot of co-writes'.[5] In retrospect, Sanders said the band simply recorded songs that they 'didn't care about as much or love as much'.[5] Brooks pointed out that it wasn't 'the best representation [of the band].'[4]

The album was written by the band during early 2011 at a beach house in Panacea, Florida.[6] For this album, the band wrote all of the material.[7] 'Stay' is about pain experienced when losing a loved one.[8] They began recording with Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount on February 24, 2011 and the record was reportedly completed '[the band's] way,' not 'someone else's way,' on April 18.[9] Recording took place at Vinatage Song Studio in Alpharetta, Georgia and at Tree Sound Studios in Norcross, Georgia.[10] The group brought in a string section for certain tracks.[11]
