Exclusive: Miss May I Talk Warped Tour, New Album 'Deathless'
Ohio's Miss May I follow a schedule not designed for the faint of heart. The metalcore stalwarts just barely exited the studio with old friend and producer Joey Sturgis, where they laid down their fifth studio album Deathless, and with nary a moment to take a breath and pack their bags, they were right back on the road supporting this year's Warped Tour.
If it wasn't obvious by the mob surrounding MMI's stage and merch tent on a daily basis, Deathless is highly anticipated— most evident by the crowd's reaction to their newest single "I.H.E." We caught up with the band to hear about their return to Warped Tour, the new album, and what the future holds for MMI.
Miss May I is back on Warped Tour for the first time in three seasons. Have you noticed a big change in lineup, the crowd, or any other aspect of the tour in that time? How does your experience on the tour now differ compared to then?
The biggest difference I see is that we have noticed an entire new fan base and generation. Some of these fans weren't even old enough to come to Warped the last time we played, and it's amazing to finally play for fans that who are finally seeing our band for the first time. I feel the lineup is almost all our friends from 2012, which makes the tour very exciting and like a reunion. Plus all the upcoming bands are phenomenal!
Our show has gotten a lot more aggressive than in past years because we know we need to really stand out and make an impact for fans that aren't used to shows like this. A lot of our old show tricks are being used by other bands and other stages, so we had to bring a lot more to the table this time around.
