I was a huge Mayday Parade fan during the Summer of 2009, so when I found out Go Radio’s singer was Mayday Parade’s ex-singer, I had to give them a listen.

Now, somehow I was lost in the loop.  When I first heard “Do Overs & Second Chances,” the only thing I was thinking was “Wow!  This sounds exactly like Mayday Parade” and I didn’t realize Jason Lancaster (ex-mayday, now- go radio) sang vocals on my favorite record, “A Lesson in Romantics” and had left soon after that.  Don’t ask how this happened, I have no clue.  BUT!  Now that I know this information and after listening to the record, I’ve fallen in love with Go Radio.

Summer of 2009 I had “If You Wanted A Song Written About You, All You Had To Do Was Ask (Album)” and “Miserable at Best” on constant repeat.  (Yes, I was two years late – There are just some bands you keep meaning to listen to but somehow you don’t get to it).

“Goodnight Moon” is a classic power ballad.  Jason Lancaster can do no wrong.  His vocals have a huge powerful range and I love the reference to a classic childhood story.  “Thanks For Nothing” picks up the beat and takes a strong jab at Mayday Parade and whoever it was who stole his girl?  I like to visit songmeanings.net for my lyrics and I couldn’t help but to laugh out loud to this comment “Also agree this song is about derek and mayday. Whatever Jason definitely got the last laugh. New mayday sucks, and go radio is amazzzzzzzing.”  AGREED.  These songs and “It’s Not A Trap, I Promise” are my top three favorites.

Basically, I don’t have to go song by song to tell you that this record is definitely one to pick up.  I could listen to Jason’s voice all day.

Get it, buy it, download it.
