As Corey Heart once so eloquently pointed out, there’s no more rock star move than wearing your sunglasses at night. Well I guess that means Miami crew ¡MAYDAY! are officially rock stars because not even normal sunglasses are enough to shield their eyes from the bright lights; in fact, they need even Darker Shades. A new video and lead single off their upcoming EP, Shades finds the group’s resident producers Plex Luthor and Gianni Cash crafting a minimal instrumental with a light punk rock foundation. From there Bernz and Wrekonize lyrically take the track to a deeper place, laying down nihilistic rhymes that should have Strange Music fans worldwide eager to grab a copy of ¡MAYDAY!‘s upcoming Thrift Store Halos project, due out August 7 (pre-order now!).

This song first appeared on the Independent Chart on August 13, 2012

There's something about Mayday's cadence that keeps me hooked.

A heavy bass-driven beat, flows that really get you moving, a catchy melody with a joyful and eays-going chorus in-between and you get the kinda ¡MAYDAY! track that I keep in rotation for months.

The guitar backtrack really allows the lyrics to standout, the track doesn't over complicate itself with unnecessary samples, and further combinations of audio (but still sounds polished enough in support), it allows mayday to simply pour their effort into the lyrical content. Dope Music.

This is an interesting track. This is a good record. I gotta play this a few times to take it all in... Great video too.
