Last week, I sat down with Derek from Mayday Parade just a few moments before they were to take the stage in support of Emery.

 

I asked him a bunch of questions, from how the band got their start to his favorite tunes to play on tour. He even answered questions about how the band comes up with the songs we all love, and what emo means to him!

 

He couldn't be a nicer guy. I've put the video up on YouTube, and you can check it out right here:

 

 

 

A Lesson In Romantics is, in many ways, the album I wish Fall Out Boy had made when they released Infinity on High.

This time, it's "When I Get Home, You Are So Dead" and it's one of the songs on their new album A Lesson In Romantics, due on July 10th.

The album, which features acoustic songs from Silverstein, Daphne Loves Derby, Jack's Mannequin, +44, Alesana, All Time Low, theAudition, Say Anything, and others, is finally in stores today. This is the latest addition to the "Punk Goes..." series.

Via MySpace, you can stream or download tracks from Scary Kids Scaring Kids, The Almost, Hot Rod Circuit, Mayday Parade, Sherwood, and Hopesfall, amongst others. Hey! Free music! Who knows, you might even find your new favorite band!

The latest installment in the "Punk Goes..." series, Punk Goes Acoustic 2 will be in stores on May 8th. The all-star lineup includes +44, Silverstein, The Audition, Say Anything, Jack's Mannequin, and more....

The latest addition to the "Punk Goes..." series will be "Punk Goes Acoustic 2". Set Your Goals and The Audition were just added to the album, which is already slated to include Mayday Parade and Jack's Mannequin.
