Derek Sanders (of Mayday Parade)

The Heavy Box EP (Rise Records, 2023) features five original tracks penned by Derek Sanders, adored frontman of emo/pop-punk quintet Mayday Parade. It includes features from Mike Hanson of local Tallahassee band Goodbye Love and Jason Lancaster, former Mayday Parade co-frontman. “Dear Life” is the first recording of Sanders and Lancaster together since Lancaster’s departure from Mayday Parade in 2007.

“Slowly over the last few years, I have poured as much love and energy as I could into these songs,” shares Sanders. “Thank you to everyone who helped make The Heavy Box something real and available for those who find it worth their time. These songs mean so much to me, I hope you enjoy them.”
