Mayday Parade have announced a three-part album starting with 'Sweet' in April 2025

Mayday Parade have announced plans for an ambitious three-part album project, with the first instalment, 'Sweet', set for release on 18th April.

The Tallahassee five-piece have shared new single 'By The Way' to mark the announcement, arriving as the band prepare to celebrate their 20th anniversary in 2025.

"Being in a band for this long, sometimes you feel like you're getting it right and sometimes you feel like you're dancing around what you should be doing," vocalist Derek Sanders explains. "This song feels locked in as a step in the right direction. It's a song about trying to stay optimistic as the world and everything you know is changing around you."

The new three-part album project marks the band's eighth full-length studio album and their first since 2021's 'What It Means To Fall Apart'. It's also their first self-released collection since their 2006 EP 'Tales Told By Dead Friends'.
