Mayday Parade will self-release their new single “It Is What It Is” this Friday. This will be the first music they have released since their album Sunnyland which was released in 2018.
“It’s just about anything in life that ends badly and how it always hurts but you eventually get over it,” drummer Jake Bundrick says of the single. His sentiment echoes frontman Derek Sanders earlier reflection of the Sunnyland album release. “If there are people out there dealing with hard times, we hope our music can help them work through that, and come away feeling a little better about everything” Sanders stated.
