Inspiration On my Idea.

Mayday Parade is another american band, rock band, from Florida. They are a successful band selling 50000 copies of thier debut EP without label support so they have a rather large fan base. This abnd signed up to Fearless Records in 20066 and signed up to a major label in 2009 to Atlantic Records.
Again this band is a contains 5 members all being male and having the rock style.
The band influences are 'Taking Back Sunday', 'Green Day' and Jimmy Eat World.
This band has a twist and doesnt make their career simple they use pop songs and make them rock for example they covered 'when i grow up' by pussycat dolls.
