On Friday, May 12, the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, N.J., was packed for Mayday Parade’s sold-out\u00a0A Lesson in Romantics\u00a0<\/em>10th Anniversary Tour. I’ve been a fan of Mayday Parade for as long as I can remember, and it was a surreal experience.<\/div>\n

For those who may not know, Starland Ballroom is a venue with a 2500-person capacity. I can assure you that every person in that crowd was singing along once Mayday hit the stage.<\/p>\n

Opening for Mayday were bands called Milestones and Knuckle Puck.\u00a0 Milestones is a band from the UK, and they put on a great set. The lead singer Matthew Clarke has such a great on stage presence, and really got the crowd ready for Knuckle Puck. Milestones has an EP out called \u201cEqual Measures\u201d and they\u2019re currently signed by Fearless Records.\u00a0 Songs from the EP include \u201cCall Me Disaster,\u201d \u201cHindsight,\u201d \u201cNothing Left,” \u201cEqual Measures\u201d and \u201cShot in the Dark.\u201d If you haven\u2019t checked out Milestones, you definitely should because they put on a great show. Next in store for them is that they\u2019re on tour with Simple Plan in the UK.<\/p>\n

After Milestone\u2019s set Knuckle Puck took over the stage. The crowd was pumped and you could tell they already had a huge following. People were singing along to every song, and people we\u2019re crowd surfing the entire set.\u00a0\u00a0 The set included \u201cDisdain,\u201d \u201cBut Why Would You Care?\u201d \u201cNo Good,\u201d \u201cGold Rush,\u201d \u201cWall to Wall (Depreciation),” \u201cEvergreen,\u201d \u00a0\u201cPoison Pen Letter,\u201d \u201cGive Up,\u201d \u201dFences,\u201d \u201cUntitled\u201d and \u201cPretense.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 I even got to meet two guys from the band, and they\u2019re super sweet and down to earth. Definitely worth checking them out if you haven\u2019t heard of them yet, and they put on a great set.<\/p>\n

After Knuckle Puck was finished, Mayday Parade came out in full force. Everyone in that crowd was singing along, and it was one heck of an experience. \u00a0Since it was a 10 year anniversary tour, they played their entire first album, \u201cA Lesson in Romantics\u201d in its entirety.\u00a0 Some of the crowd favorites from the night were \u201cJersey,\u201d \u201cThree Cheers for Five Years,\u201d and especially, \u201cMiserable at Best.\u201d<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t matter what song was on the album though, as the crowd was singing for the entire set.\u00a0 The crowd\u2019s energy was so intense, and you can tell everyone was having a blast because every person in that venue looked like they were singing their hearts out.<\/p>\n

Needless to say Jersey had a nostalgic night with Mayday Parade for the 10-year anniversary tour, and as Mayday Parade said, \u201cThey can\u2019t wait to come back to NJ in another 10 years for the 20 year anniversary tour.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
