The highly-anticipated new self-titled album from Mayday Parade is currently #5 on the iTunes Album Chart! The disc is currently streaming at AOL Music and is now available for purchase on iTunes and Amazon.
The band is also gearing up for a nationwide headlining tour in support of the new release. Kicking off October 13 on the East Coast, The Noise Tour powered by Journeys features support from We Are The In Crowd, There For Tomorrow, You Me At Six and The Make.
Mayday Parade unleashed two songs prior to the release. The new hit-single, "Oh Well, Oh Well" was streamed by Alternative Press and garnered praise from MTV's Buzzworthy Blog, who stated "unlike other pop punk groups, Mayday Parade takes a more holistic approach to songwriting, an approach clearly at the foreground of their new group-penned single."

Similarly, MTV.com premiered "When You See My Friends" which they proclaimed "a swelling mid-tempo ballad set to bursting drums and heavy guitars."
Co-produced by Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount, Mayday Parade marks a return to their songwriting roots; the entire album was self-written in a collaborative effort 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.
Mayday Parade is vocalist/piano Derek Sanders, bassist Jeremy Lezno, guitarists Alex Garcia and Brooks Betts and drummer/vocalist Jake Bundrick.
