Joined by longtime collaborators, producers Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount, the band diverged from their typical path in the studio. Now, with their seventh studio album, What It Means to Fall Apart, they’re proving that their dedication to emotionally aware, fan-driven music, hasn’t changed either. “We became better musicians, better at writing, and our music tastes have changed throughout the decade-plus of us being together.” Some things have stayed the same, like the tenacity that got them started in the first place and the brotherly bond that has kept them together for all these years. “We just grew,” Garcia shares on the band’s evolution. Their debut album, 2007’s A Lesson In Romantics, was certified Gold and followed by five more successful studio albums, 1.6 million in sales, multiple worldwide tours, and seven (official) Warped Tours. Since then, a lot has changed for Sanders, guitarist Brooks Betts, drummer Jake Bundrick, guitarist Alex Garcia, and bassist Jeremy Lenzo. That's kind of how we kick-started the band.” “We were just there in our van showing up every day to sell CDs in the parking lot. “We weren’t a part of the tour,” Derek Sanders, frontman of the Tallahassee, Florida-founded pop-punk band, clarifies. In 2006, just a year after their formation, Mayday Parade joined their first Vans Warped Tour.
