On September 9, Mayday Parade released another song from the album called "Kids in Love" to their MySpace page. On August 4, "The Silence" was released on Mayday Parade's MySpace and through iTunes. The title track, "Anywhere But Here", was posted on their MySpace on July 28, along with a blog explaining that the first single of the new album will be called "The Silence", and would be released on August 11, 2009. The band signed onto a major label with Atlantic in 2009. The band finished recording in June 2009. The band began writing their new record in December 2008, the first writing process as a band without lyricist Lancaster. The band played the 2008 Vans Warped Tour and toured with All Time Low, The Maine, and Every Avenue in Fall 2008 on The Compromising of Integrity, Morality, and Principles in Exchange for Money Tour. The band made their first UK appearance in April 2008 performing at the Give it a Name festival in Sheffield and London. Mayday Parade supported their album on the 2007 Vans Warped Tour. "When I Get Home, You're So Dead" was one of the first songs the band wrote. In April, shortly after the album was completed, lead singer Jason Lancaster left the band citing a lack of writing credit on the band's releases. In January 2007, the band started to record their debut studio album, A Lesson in Romantics. A Lesson in Romantics and Lancaster's departure (2007–2008) tour with Brandtson and Mêlée, then on another tour with Plain White T's shortly after the release of the EP. They decided on the band name Mayday Parade during the week they spent recording in the studio.
Still arguing over a name, the band went into the studio to record their first EP Tales Told by Dead Friends, on November 7, 2006, with producer Lee Dyess. Both bands previously practiced in the same building, before it occurred to Lenzo that it "made more sense if we put them together instead of playing separately." Kid Named Chicago featured vocalist/guitarist Jason Lancaster, guitarist Alex Garcia and drummer Jake Bundrick, while Defining Moment featured vocalist Derek Sanders, guitarist Brooks Betts, and bassist Jeremy Lenzo. Mayday Parade was formed in the winter of 2005 following the merger of two local Tallahassee bands, Kid Named Chicago and Defining Moment.

Their second studio album, Anywhere but Here was released in October 2009 and their third album, entitled Mayday Parade, was released in October 2011. After signing to Fearless in 2006, the band also signed onto a major label with Atlantic in 2009. In July 2007, Mayday Parade released their debut album A Lesson in Romantics. Their debut EP Tales Told by Dead Friends was released in 2006, and sold over 50,000 copies without any label support. Intimate acoustic versions of “When You See My Friends” and “Oh Well, Oh Well” are bonus tracks.Mayday Parade is an American rock band from Tallahassee, Florida. Although guitarist/backing vocalist Jason Lancaster left the band for personal reasons following its first album, vestiges of his guitar and singing style haunt the standout power ballad “When You See My Friends.” The heartfelt “Happy Endings Are Stories That Haven't Ended Yet” closes with old-school emo balladry. “No Heroes Allowed” follows, boasting one of the album’s best guitar solos and dynamically doubled vocals. “Oh Well, Oh Well” opens as lonely piano notes and strings play under Derek Sanders’ heartbroken inflections then a hi-hat countoff detonates the song into a snarling, rocking emo epic. Where the band’s sophomore album featured outside songwriters, this time it insisted on crafting its own tunes and keeping the overall sound organic and live. Mayday Parade steps up its game with an eponymous third studio album that surpasses its critically acclaimed debut LP, A Lesson in Romantics.
