Few bands in the emo and pop-punk scene have built a catalog as beloved—and emotionally devastating—as Mayday Parade. Since their 2007 debut, A Lesson In Romantics, the Tallahassee, FL, outfit has delivered heartbreak anthems, nostalgic sing-alongs, and underrated deep cuts. With a discography spanning nearly two decades, ranking their songs—from best to worst, to most underrated, it’s been no easy task. Here is the best song, worst song, most underrated song, and saddest song in the Mayday Parade discography. Best Song: “Jersey” Choosing the definitive best Mayday Parade song is no small task. Their discography is packed with scene staples—from… Read more »
In one of the most unexpected and delightful moments from this weekend’s Saturday Night Live, host Jack Black fully embraced his inner emo with a pitch-perfect parody of My Chemical Romance’s “Welcome To The Black Parade.” During the “Goth Kid On Vacation” musical skit, dressed in the classic Black Parade marching band jacket, a long black wig, and standing atop a marching band float, Black hilariously embodied MCR frontman Gerard Way as he belted out the song’s iconic opening line: “When I was a young boy…” The Tenacious D frontman and School Of Rock star leaned into the emo theatrics,… Read more »

We must follow our gut to what is moral, right and kind. ‘Swallow This’ is a protest song against the hypodermic needle of control media. They anger and press upon pressure points to gain control.” Mee adds,… Read more »
After nearly two decades of igniting Warped Tour crowds with their neon-fueled energy and tongue-in-cheek lyricism, it’s safe to assume that 3OH!3 has seen it all. But when asked about the most bizarre or unexpected moment of their long-running stint on the iconic tour for idobi Warped Radio, Sean Foreman didn’t hesitate: “I pooped my pants on stage.” Yes, you read that correctly. And his other half, Nathaniel Motte, confirmed, “He did.” To make matters worse, it’s not the only time Foreman has pooped his pants, as Motte adds, “No, you did it while you were snowboarding [also].” It all… Read more »
Marking their second single of the year and their first new material in three years, Rise Against returns with their latest offering, “Prizefighter.” Tim McIlrath shares, “‘Prizefighter’ is about a compulsion to create, that then creates an audience, and then your connection with that audience and your responsibilities to that audience, and how much an artist is obliged to that audience. It’s trying to reconcile the shift from spectator to the public arena, and what you owe the people that are your fans versus what you owe your own mental health.” Rise Against is currently on the road for The… Read more »
