Hi everyone,
I just received a copy of the new album, so here's the story:

"Life's a three minute pop song, learn the words and sing along"
Every once in a while a record comes along that reminds us why people picked up electric guitars in the first place. When done right, rock music should make you feel like you just stuck your finger in a light socket.
A chill runs down the spine and makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck.
Such is the case with the debut album by MayDay Ground, a Nashville based three-piece band consisting of
Michael Spears, bass guitar, lead vocals, Bryan Hall, guitar/vocals, and drummer Ben Phillips.
Michael and Bryan, friends since childhood, spent several years with bestfriend, Gregg Fulkerson,
in Blue Tears, a band that reached underground cult status.
The two have since departed and have teamed up with singer, songwriter Billy Falcon.
Falcon, alumni of rock's noble under-ground, ( Bon Jovi, Stevie Nicks) first worked with Spears and Hall on his magnificent 2003 release, "Songs About Girls", which Spears co-produced. Those sessions led to Michael producing Rose Falcon on her Columbia Records debut single, Up Up Up, a chart topper on Disney Radio.
The results of their current collaboration can be heard on their melodic new album, In Technicolor.
Songs like If Your Lonely, Sunny and 72, and Nothing Without You, demonstrate songwriting at it's best with poetic lyrics, haunting melodies, and of course, plenty of edgy guitars. Add Michael's moody vocals and the result is an atmospheric sound scape that, after a few listens, will take up residence in your subconscious.
With the addition of studio session drummer Ben Phillips (Bullets of Orange) the final piece of the puzzle is in place, and MayDay Ground is poised to rock your world!
“Life's a three minute pop song, turn around and it's gone”
