For the next few months, I will be reviewing the recently released album Monsters in the Closet by Florida rock group Mayday Parade. Mayday Parade is a five-piece band consisting of: Derek Sanders, (vocals) Alex Garcia, (lead guitar) Brooks Betts, (rhythm guitar) Jeremy Lenzo, (bass) and Jake Bundrick (drums). In 2006, their debut EP Tales Told By Dead Friends sold over 50,000 copies without support from a record label. In 2007 their first full length album A Lesson In Romantics was released under Fearless Records and sold over 200,000 copies.
Personally, I found this song to be very enjoyable and a good fit as the album opener. The song starts with Derek Sanders leading the vocal brigade in an acapella intro. 32 seconds into the song, Bundrick's drums are smashing; and the talented guitar duo of Alex Garcia and Brooks Betts enter the song, backed by Jeremy Lenzo's bass. In Ghosts, the band mixes well-written, power-pop rock with its signature, emotional- ballad style. Mayday Parade has created the perfect opener to Monsters in the Closet.
