Mayday Parade Gears Up for an Emotionally Charged Fall Season
## Anticipating New Music from Mayday Parade
As sweater weather approaches, so does the excitement for another release from Mayday Parade. The pop-punk band has announced **Sad**, the second part of their three-album trilogy celebrating their 20th anniversary, set to drop on October 3. Along with this announcement, they’ve shared a reflective new track titled “Under My Sweater,” complete with a music video.
### A Nostalgic Tune
Derek Sanders, the band’s lead vocalist, expressed his thoughts on the song, stating, “It’s difficult to sing about a sweater without invoking Weezer, but that’s part of what I love about this song.” Featuring somber riffs and percussion reminiscent of the ’90s, he sees the track as both an homage to classic emo and a fresh take on the genre.
### Following Up on **Sweet**
**Sad** follows April’s release of the first album in the trilogy, **Sweet**. This new installment balances the upbeat nature of its predecessor with a softer, introspective feel, making it perfect for the approaching autumn. Despite their differing vibes, **Sad** reunites producers Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount, ensuring a signature sound.
### What to Expect
Although the tracklist for **Sad** has not yet been unveiled, early reports promise emotional ballads and nostalgic nods to the ’90s, including titles like “Promises,” “One Day At a Time,” and “I Miss the 90s.” The album’s finale, “I Must Obey The Inscrutable Exhortations Of My Soul,” is expected to showcase Mayday Parade’s flair for lengthy, emotive titles, potentially marking this as their most ambitious project yet.
### Celebration on the Road
The launches of **Sweet** and **Sad** coincide with Mayday Parade’s 20th anniversary tour, where they will revisit their entire discography across multiple U.S. cities, celebrating two decades of making music together.
