Mayday Parade Announced Limited Edition RSD Release

(The Syndicate) Mayday Parade, in partnership with Craft Recordings, will release a limited edition 10" translucent orange vinyl reissue of their debut EP, Tales Told By Dead Friends.

Pressed to just 1,500 copies to mark the EP's 20th Anniversary, the release is an official Record Stay Day Exclusive available only at participating independent record stores on Saturday, April 18th, 2026.

Originally released in 2006, Tales Told By Dead Friends holds a special place in Mayday Parade's history as a record the band released entirely independently, selling copies out of Vans Warped Tour parking lots in the early days of their career. Twenty years later, the story comes full circle.

Sweet and Sad - the first two installments of the band's self-released three-part anniversary trilogy - mark their first independent release since Tales Told By Dead Friends itself, with the third chapter due later in 2026. This year, they return to Vans Warped Tour (Long Beach, Montreal, Mexico City) - this time as veterans of the scene.

The anniversary pressing features classics "Three Cheers for Five Years," "When I Get Home You're So Dead," and "The Last Something That Meant Anything," brought back to life on a collector-grade translucent orange format.
