mayday parade is so much better than brand new

To you man. But there's something about the magic of "Where You Want To Be" that's undeniable, such an underrated album. They'll reunite one day, they have to.

There's no bad blood between fred and the band right?

If anyone can remember Dereks old band Defining Moment he can write a song. I just hope what he says in the interview is true about the last album was more what the label wanted. Still miss Jason in this band. As much as I love Go Radio I hope at some point in the future we could see some reunion shows with these guys playing together again.

Don't know, I know him and Matt Rubano are still friends, but I don't know about the rest. I think the main beef was Freddy vs Adam and Eddie. Id kill to see them play "Where You Want To Be" from front to back.

I still listen to A Lesson In Romantics pretty often. I listened to the other album maybe one and a half times. It was fucking terrible. I hope they mean what they say here and they come up with something legitimate. If they don't, they're done, or at least should be.



I don't think it's lame, necessarily. Bands should always be evolving and trying new things, but there will be plenty of times when that doesn't work out. Most bands have a particular sound that "fits" them best. It doesn't automatically mean they're trying to clone the initial successful release.

Not that I would have a problem with A Lesson In Romantics Pt. 2...

All of this.

I kinda beleive what hes saying, i hope that this means that they're next record is as good as or better than ALIR

i'm kind of surprised that he didn't mention that daniel is jason's brother, and not just some random guy from tallahassee.
