MAYDAY PARADE STAY QUOTES FULL

Yet like other Mayday Parade albums, Black Lines is certainly dynamic - for example, the tension-filled, simmering choruses on 'Underneath The Tide' explode into soaring, noisy verses - and has undeniable variety: 'Just Out Of Reach' ends with a plaintive piano coda and lonely vocals, while the '90s alt-rock-reminiscent 'Letting Go' is driven by rich acoustic guitar and Sanders' delicate singing. 'We tried to make those parts more distinct.' 'We noticed some of the songs were heavier than we've ever done, that there were a lot of guitar riffs we had never really had before,' Bundrick says. The sizzling, grungy 'Hollow' and the tornadic, teeth-baring 'Let's Be Honest' also boast aggressive riffs and a propulsive rhythmic backbone. That's evident from Black Lines' ferocious opening song, 'One Of Them Will Destroy The Other,' which features slashing guitars, throat-shredding vocals and a guest appearance from Real Friends' Dan Lambton. 'It's time to switch things up a little bit,' Sanders says. With the release of their arresting fifth record, the Mike Sapone-produced Black Lines, the members of the Florida pop-rock quintet - vocalist Derek Sanders, guitarists Brooks Betts and Alex Garcia, bassist Jeremy Lenzo and drummer Jake Bundrick - are taking a giant leap forward as musicians and songwriters.
