Everyone loves a parade -- and everyone should love Mayday Parade! The Tallahassee, Florida-based quintet's debut album, A Lesson In Romantics (featuring the single, "When I Get Home, You're So Dead") has had us rocking out since it was released in July. Lead singer, Derek Sanders took time away from the band's tour with Madina Lake to chat with us about being romantic, touring small towns, and learning important lessons from The Mighty Ducks!

So where are you guys now?
We're in Rochester, Minnesota.

Sounds like an exciting place.
Yeah, I know. There's not a lot happening here.

Where did you play last night?
We played in last night in Mankato, Minnesota. It was weird. I couldn't even say the name on the stage because I was afraid of screwing it up. So I just said Minnesota.
