With tracks like “Jamie All Over,” “Black Cat,” “When I Get Home You’re So Dead,” “Jersey,” and of course “Miserable At Best,” Mayday Parade proved their brand of soft-spoken, emotion-filled (and sometimes piano-laced) rock songs were just as captivating and heartfelt as their “heavier” Warped Tour counterparts.
I first heard of Mayday Parade when I was 13 or 14 and into an entirely age inappropriate band called Mindless Self Indulgence. I had ordered an MSI hoodie and the merchandise store included a sample of Mayday Parade’s first full length album, A Lesson in Romantics in the package. This was the first time I ever fell in love with a pop punk band.
Mayday Parade aren’t known for writing happy songs, so the tears continued for most of the night, especially when they threw three of the most emotional ones at us, one after the other. Miserable at Best is always beautiful live, and it wasn’t long until the crowd’s singing started to drown out Derek and Jake’s soft tones, making it really feel like our show.
