We all know Mayday Parade is an emotion. In this interview, frontman Derek looks back on the band’s early days, including the unforgettable experience of touring Germany for the first time, a surprising legal situation (that made me very mad at this country!!), and reflecting on the nostalgia of their 20-year anniversary tour across the US. He jumps into a deep-cut fire round for us longtime fans, talks wedding songs — from his own to a fan’s special day — and reveals more on the band’s three-part release Sweet, Sad, and Sugar. Stay tuned for the final part of the trilogy by a band who knows how to capture the essence of melodic late 2000’s/2010’s emo like no other.
