Mayday Parade is gearing up for the release of their third full-length record, the eponymous Mayday Parade, which hits stores on October 4, 2011.

In anticipation of the release, Alternative Press is streaming their new song "Oh Well, Oh Well" (link below).

The band will also head out this week on a North American tour with All Time Low, running through the end of August.

Co-produced by Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount, Mayday Parade marks a return to their songwriting roots; the entire album was self-written by the five band mates.

The 12-song collection transpired through careful introspection and it echoes the musicians' maturation over the two years since their second album, Anywhere But Here.

The band chose to pen each of the songs themselves, making the album perhaps their most personal to date, complete with relatable lyrics and their undeniable charm.

Recently, the band released a 6-song EP, Valdosta, containing four re-recorded acoustic versions of previous singles alongside two all new tracks.

Two days after the release of Valdosta, Songkick recognized Mayday Parade as the hardest working band of 2010 with 194 logged tour dates and over 71,000 miles travelled. The rockers placed above seminal favorites such as Willie Nelson and pop culture phenomena like Lady Gaga.

Mayday Parade originally burst onto the scene with their 2007 debut A Lesson in Romantics, which received immense praise from critics and fans alike. AbsolutePunk claimed it was sure to become "one of your most played [albums] of the summer." It went on to sell more than 170,000 copies and reached the Top Ten on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.

Mayday Parade is vocalist/piano Derek Sanders, bassist Jeremy Lezno, guitarists Alex Garcia and Brooks Betts and drummer/vocalist Jake Bundrick.
