Mayday Parade celebrate 10 years of first EP, release new song—listen

November 10, 2016

Mayday Parade have been legends from the start—their debut EP, Tales Told By Dead Friends, is still one of their most beloved releases. To celebrate 10 years since its release, the band are embarking on a 11-date small-venue tour, starting Nov. 11.

The Tallahassee natives have also gifted fans a brand new, unreleased track titled “The Problem With The Big Picture Is It’s Hard To See,” which will be included on their remixed and remastered version of their first release. The special anniversary edition of Tales Told By Dead Friends will be available tomorrow, and special preorder packages are available here.

“This song is about everything I've experienced in this band in the 10 years since Tales Told By Dead Friends was released,” vocalist Derek Sanders explains. “It seemed appropriate, even destined perhaps, to put together this song with a video compiled of old footage shot throughout those years. We are extremely grateful to still have life in this band and continue on.”

To accompany the new song, Mayday Parade have also released a new video in which never-before-seen footage of the band showcases memories and highlights from their 10-year career. Check it out below.
