    Album Description

    This melodic rock band from Florida has been holding strong in the top 30 music charts on MySpace and sold 10,000 copies of their self-released EP on the Warped Tour this summer without stepping on a single stage. They sold to kids in the parking lot and standing in line. Their debut breaks the cookie cutter mold set by MTV and the radio and brings listeners to a state of frenzy in an earth-shaking way. Look for them on tour this fall.

    MayDay Parade's cd, Tales Told By Dead Friends is an awesome cd. i'd recommend to every one! these boys are great and awesome to their fans.

    5 out of 5 stars Mayday Parade is way more that Amazing!.......2006-12-27

    Being a connoisseur of good music, I look for bands that have some special to bring to the table. Standing in line at WArped TOur this summer I expected to hear a lot of new music. What I didn't expect was to have the highlight of my day standing in line at WArped TOur. Ever since then, I have listened to their ep multiple times. By far the best music I purchased all year. These guys bring triple-threat vocal harmonies, great guitar parts, and progressive style drumming. Each song on this ep is different. Lyics are amazing! Whether you've loved, lost, or been stepped on, this ep will speak to you!

    5 out of 5 stars very tight cd.......2006-12-26

    when i got this cd i wasn't really expecting much due to the fact it only had one review on amazon and i kinda just got it on impact but when i heard it I was very surprised. i love this guys flow, its so vivid and i can really get into it. i can also really understand what the guy is saying.
    the lyrics are very intelligent and thoughtful and the beats are just fun to listen to. this guys dj is really good with the scratching and what not. its a fun listen.
    highly recomended

    5 out of 5 stars An oasis of funk...........2006-09-30

    This album is a most welcome break from the mainstream drivel thats been comming out the last few years.
    Fresh beats, solid lyrics, and some of the funkiest samples I've heard in years.

    The last cd I rocked out to this hard was Cannibal Ox Cold Vein.
    How many years ago was that?

    Buy it or torrent it til you can.

      Ever wonder what the mod revival movement wasall about? Here is your chance to find out. The Merton Parkas (the name's a pun if you know London) featured a chap named Mick Talbot on keyboards -- he went on to fame and fortune with the Style Council.Check out their spirited cover of mod classics such as Smokey Robinson's "Tears of a Clown". You'll also get to sample several tracks by the unheralded Squire (not Billy!). If you have a scooter and some skinny ties, this could be a key album for you.

          4 out of 5 stars 4 1/2 Stars Pitchforkmedia Review.......2002-07-28

          The members of Mayday seem like an unlikely bunch to relate to a primarily nautical distress call, having spent the majority of their lives adrift in the oceans of grain that cover Nebraska and the rest of the Great Plains. But frontman Ted Stevens has always seemed to view life itself as a vast ocean that we're simply cast into-- forced to struggle against currents and undertow, not to mention all the sinister surprises lurking in the depths. During his tenure with breadbasket troubadours Lullaby for the Working Class, Stevens once referred to himself as a "pale white torso, complete with two struggling oars," and it only seems fitting that the imagery of that line should come to the fore in his latest project, as that's what Mayday's music largely seems to address.

          Since Lullaby had their final cadence, Stevens has gone on to become the guitarist for southeast Nebraskan post-punks Cursive, and musically, Mayday falls somewhere in between his two other bands, occasionally utilizing the rhythmic push that makes Cursive's music so urgent, but using it mostly to support the grandly humble gestures and ramshackle navel-gazing that characterized Lullaby for the Working Class. His singing has come a long way since he first cracked and groaned his way through songs like "Show Me How the Robots Dance" half a decade ago. Though there are still some rough spots, he sounds more confident on the microphone these days, displaying his widest expressive range ever.

          Old Blood fades in on "Cinquefoils," with a pulsing electronic rhythm that's almost enough to make you wonder if Stevens and co. haven't given over to Depeche Mode-styled synth-pop. The subtle, room-miked drums and banjo/guitar plucking that enter soon after, though, make it immediately clear that that isn't the case. It's simply a broadening of a sonic pallet that was already pretty broad, and it's impressively well-integrated.

          It's followed by the gorgeous "Come Home," which moves gracefully from a slow ballad with male-female harmonies to a soaring climax. "I'm trying to remember where I went wrong/ I only want to talk you into coming back/ I won't even ask you where you've been/ Or who you've been staying with," Stevens sings, as though staring out his window, watching some memory of domestic bliss. After the second refrain, the tempo doubles and slide guitars rise up to meet the vocals as the song moves to its stratospheric heights before coming back down for one last plea of "Come home, babe."

          "Captain" is an old school working-class lullaby complete with imagery of planes colliding with mountains and ships being tossed like toys in storms. "Lullaby for the Sleeping Elephant" plays off the old Canadian saying that being adjacent to the U.S. is like "sleeping next to an elephant," with its tale of parents sending their child off to war. The anguished bridge turns the plodding tempo into sludge with dark, distorted guitars as Stevens hollers as though relating his own son's plight.

          The band takes ample opportunity to spread their wings wide on songs like the tense "Pilot," with its ominous opening line, "The pilot is tapping the gauges." The song moves from claustrophobic verses to gorgeous, violin-led instrumental passages that play foil to the ragged nerves of the lyrics. "Confession" drips with desert-fried guitar and loping, Latin-inflected rhythms that would feel right at home on a Pinetop Seven or Calexico record.

          Most impressive, though, are the album's two suites, the meditative "Tone/Atone/Atonal" and the epic, twelve-minute closer "Temple/Temporary/Extempore/Tempo." "Tone" moves from a stark, minimal opening to tribal beats smothered with organ and smatterings of slide guitar, eventually building to a stormy ending. "Temple" is an epic in the true sense, blossoming from an opening salvo of drones and dissonance into a complex series of freely composed verses full of shifting rhythms and textures. It's the rare twelve-minute song that earns its full keep without tossing in anything unnecessary.

          Mayday have put together an impressive debut that's exceedingly difficult to pigeonhole. Mike and AJ Mogis' recording is immaculate, yet dirty enough to make the sci-fi folk vibe work perfectly. Mayday have turned the desperate cry for help into a thing of fragile, spontaneous beauty, and the result is stunning.

          5 out of 5 stars and the saddle creek symphony plays on.......2002-07-18

          imagine lullaby for the working class, bright eyes, the faint, and cursive all playing at the same show, at the same time....that is this record....everything is subdued and delicate, so close to the feeling of beauty that any and all records strive for...it pulls you in and makes the world clearer...and still you go back to it, looking for more...hoping that the voices you heard are still there for you, caring and smearing their message on your ears and your throat until you can do no more except cry...and thank the skies for bringing into this world the lovely folks of immaculate taste at saddle creek....reccomended beyond belief...if you are just not sure (and by now how could you!?) go to ... and listen to the mp3 and if you are not running to windows to hear your heart beat in limbo with the outside world, you, my dearest reader, are dead.

            If you are as fascinated by Ted Stevens' music as I am you will find another treasure within their new album. There's more great lyrics, some interesting songs, more support from the Saddle Creek guys (but no lead vocals with Conor Oberst this time). The album is somewhat more low-key than the previous effort but similar in style and quality.

            If you have never heard Mayday, or Ted Stevens' previous band Lullaby for the Working Class, it is a depressed indie rock, with a touch of country or folk. Stevens' voice is deep and sad and he has a knack for powerful song climaxes. His lyrics are insurpassable, complex and like poetry. The songs are sophisticated and unorthodox.

            Common complaints about Mayday is that they are boring and Stevens' voice is annoying, so buyer beware. However I think patient and thoughtful listeners would agree that this is not true. I would recommend Lullaby's Blank Warm as a powerful introduction to Stevens' style.

            Some bands are suited to lo-fi recording techniques. Some are not. Mayday is not. Yet for some reason, after an absolutely stunning debut, they opted to record this album with a gritty, lo-fi sound... And it just plain doesn't work.

            That said, the songs themselves are quite solid. They lean more towards a country/bluegrass vibe (rather than the genre-busting, unclassifiable sound of their previous album), which could be good or bad depending on your personal tastes. However, even if these were the best songs ever written, they wouldn't be able to overcome the crappy production. It's quite frustrating to hear what you know is a good song, but be unable to enjoy it because the low-quality recording is mashing everything together into tuneless noise.

            Basically, this is a worthwhile purchase if you absolutely love Mayday, and are willing to fight through the noise in order to appreciate the songs. Otherwise, spend your money on something more enjoyable.
