Early Germany Tours And Challenges, Deeps Cuts & Best Wedding Songs: Interview with Mayday Parade

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.

About Sophie Dobschall

German-bred, (ex?-)London-based, not American. Likes high quality banter and video interviews with a dash of photo pit. Feed her loud, sad emo bangers all day every day. Andrew W.K.’s party tips should be anyone’s life philosophy. Does not care that you hate her favorite band, Canadian pop-punk legends Simple Plan. Fight me.
