"Band of the Week"

This week I've got a treat for all of you. Mayfield Heights, a band from Southern California (do we see a pattern of where I get all my bands from?), is possibly the nicest bunch of guys that could be set into one band. So, I thought, why shouldn't they be band of the week? They've got the whole package. The talent, the personalities, and the drive.

While a fairly new band, they've already started touring along the west coast. With a range in different, but similar, genres to their music, they've got a bit of pop punk and rock to them. And, well, I just have to say that thank god they aren't one of those bands that say they're pop punk and post hardcore at the same time. But, anyway...

Rich, Rich, Ryan, and Paul don't just make up a band that will be forgotten in a year or two. With emotional lyrics, an array of sounds, and a playfulness to them, they're having their fun while getting known. So you know it's a rarity when you find songs like "Xanadu" by Mayfield Heights, which reminds me of those old pop-punk bands in the 90's that had exchanging vocals in the beginning of songs, except it's not like how it's done today. (i.e. TBS and all that trendy screamo)

Bio

Mayday! Mayday! (formerly Mayfield Heights) was raised in the 1980’s in America’s suburbs and nursed by a still-fresh MTV. Schooled in 60’s folk, 70’s glam-rock, and 80’s pop, the five members of Mayday! Mayday! create a distinctive blend of hook-driven, melodic pop and rock, infused by each member's diverse background with a devoted eye to sophisticated songwriting.

Mayday! Mayday! have managed to realize many accomplishments in their two-year tenure. They recently cut a demo with producer Issa Diao (of Good Clean Fun fame) in preparation for recording their first LP in the beginning of 2007. Their first album, released under the name Mayfield Heights entitled Whatever It Takes, reached #15 on Smartpunk.com’s Top 100 sales list, due in part to their self-produced music video for the single “50/50” from the same record.

Since their inception, they have self-booked eight regional tours and in the process played with international acts such as The Living End, Lit, Daphne Loves Derby, and I Hate Kate. This past spring, Mayday! Mayday! led the 4th Annual Richie Valens’ Battle of the Bands in Los Angeles by, as Jessie Vaughn of the San Fernando Valley Sun stated, “dominating the night with their jaw-dropping, dynamic sound,” winning honors for best band, best vocals, best guitar, best bass, and best drums.

Mayday! Mayday!’s on-line presence is one of the driving forces behind their success. On MySpace alone, the band has managed to accumulate over 82,000 friends with over 250,000 plays within the past year and a half. Averaging over 750 plays a day, they have been recognized countless times as being one of MySpace’s Top 10 Unsigned Artists.

In addition to their online success, Mayday! Mayday! has had their music played unsolicited on stations such as 101.3 KFMA Tucson and 90.7 KPFK Los Angeles, and have made various appearances and live performances on numerous others.

Mayday! Mayday! is known within the independent music scene for their catchy melodies, high-energy live performances, and their devotion to their music and their fans. “Your band impressed me,“ declared Capitol Records’ producer Loren Israel, “and I foresee great things with Mayday! Mayday!."
