Starting out as a 2-man project ¡MAYDAY! has since evolved into a full-fledged 6-man band with a buzz so loud that it came to the attention of hip-hop mogul Lil’ Wayne who had to stop and take notice. He invited the band, which consists of MCs Bernz and Wrekonize, producer/guitarist Plex Luthor, bassist/keyboardist Gianni Ca$h, drummer L.T. Hopkins and percussionist NonMS, to be his on-screen band in 3 of his videos (“Get A Life,” “Da Da Da,” and “On Fire”), had them perform at his 2010 Super Bowl party, and then gave them the ultimate high-five by wearing a ¡MAYDAY! t-shirt in his “Get A Life” video and proclaiming himself the next member of the band. It doesn’t stop with Lil Wayne – as the #1 indie rapper alive, Tech N9ne quickly signed the band to his Strange Music label. So far, the relationship has proved fruitful. The band completed two US Strange Music tours, including the record breaking 90 shows in 99 days Hostile Takeover tour with Tech and Machine Gun Kelly; produced the entire Tech N9ne Klusterfuk EP which hit #1 on the indie Billboard charts; released their Billboard top 100 charting Strange debut album, Take Me To Your Leader, and most recently, released their new EP, Thirft Store Halos, which quickly hit #3 on the iTunes Hip-Hop charts on the first day of release. Numerous platinum and buzz-worthy artists and producers such as Cee-Lo, David Banner, Black Thought (The Roots), SpaceGhostPurrp, NORE, Jim Jonsin (TI, Lil’ Wayne, Kid Cudi), Ace Hood and more have stepped up to work with the ¡MAYDAY! crew.
¡MAYDAY!‘s distinctive fusion of urban and alt.rock is pushing the boundaries of music as they flex their muscles in areas of funk that hip-hop has yet to explore. Their attention to detail (they write, arrange, mix and produce all the music themselves) and explosive live show is impossible to ignore. Miami Magazine said of their performance: “¡MAYDAY!‘s musical mash-up fuels both its frenzied live shows and a new album that oozes Miami cool.” ¡MAYDAY!‘s signature style has already caught the ear of media outlets like MTV, XXL, RapRadar, HipHopDX, 2DopeBoyz and more, and as DJ Khaled proclaimed: “¡MAYDAY! is headed to the top floor.”
After premiering the video for their Cee-Lo assisted single “Groundhog Day” on Youtube, the clip achieved a record-breaking 2 million plus views in less than two days and garnered attention from The New York Times, ABC World News Tonight, NBC 6 Evening News and Inside Edition. Later that year “Groundhog Day” was featured on HBO’s Entourage. Other songs including “Watching Me” from ¡MAYDAY!’s debut album, have been used in video games (NBA Street Homecourt 2007) and television, including Stuck on an Island’s “On 2 Somth’n” which was featured in ABC Family’s popular show Lincoln Heights.
¡MAYDAY! has long been a force in the Miami underground scene. Live ¡MAYDAY! puts on an impressive show with a exhilarating party vibe. The Miami Herald said ¡MAYDAY! “…captures the electric excitement of a city on the verge of a breakthrough” and the Miami New Times called them “…one of Miami’s hardest-hitting bands.” After the release of their self-titled debut album, URB Magazine placed ¡MAYDAY! In their next 20 Artists to Watch and MTV chose them as one of the Freshmen Five giving them opportunities to travel the US performing to packed houses with a spectrum of artists ranging from Daft Punk to Big Boi to Method Man and Goodie Mob.
¡MAYDAY! is a band that fits right in, but their sound is different. It’s live, hard-hitting, future brand of music posted up somewhere between rock and a hard place, strangely familiar, yet brand new.
All the Time

Not worried 'bout tomorrow cause you been living today
Only your word is credible, you been put on a pedestal
But it don't even register, you like giving 'em space
You like rigging them games, kiddie charades
What an ignorant way to keep the village arranged
Queen bee on the throne, we just part of your subjects
The kind of woman that men love giving her rough sex, well
Shit, I've been drinking too much and I've been hitting the blunts
Shouldn't have kicked it this much I'm so addicted to love
And the fact I love to hate you, when you act the part so well
Go to hell and choke on all the bricks from here to your cell
Had a wonderful grind when we were doing so fine
Could have saved it all too if you weren't a bitch all the time
This ain't a love song
It's just a piece of my mind
And I want you to know that
Things will be so much better, if you weren't a bitch all the time
And just so you know
This ain't a love song, so don't you bother pressing rewind
And I want you to know that
Things would be so much better, if you weren't a bitch all the time
Pretty girl with no friends
Shoulda known you loco
Talking shit on all the girls you only know from photos
Looking for a sponsor every night, but it's a no-go
Blaming society for you addiction to a logo
Why you always judging, always coo-coo, pushing buttons?
Why you always bugging, making something out of nothing?
Seen the other side, but it ain't something you up-front with
Maybe you just tryna to hide the fact you're scared of something
You a homecoming queen ever since you [?]
As opposed to all the others getting better with your time
At first I didn't see it, I attract a certain type
Rough around the edges, but you sharper than I like
You sharper than a knife, but you don't care who you strike
Only got a couple lives, and I ain't tryna waste tonight
So I ain't picking up when you decide to hit the line
Go and find yourself another this time
Don't bother hitting rewind

I can't believe this, so far, every single song you guys put out has been fucking amazing. How do you even do it, is that even possible ? I'm very eager to hear the album if that's the kind of quality I can expect from it.
Quade McDonald

Marc McKinney
Thank you !MAYDAY! never cease to amaze for real. Your music get me through so much. I thank you guys and hope to see you in STL soon
Lonnie Waldron
Wrek killed it like he always has. Bernz, always killed it but he becomes more and more of a beast every record. And this beat, Nonms and Cash just do what they do so well.
I really wish more artists took their art this serious. This is just lovely. Believers is going to be hard to top but I've said the same about Stuck On a Island and Thiftstore Halos. They get better and better as a band every time they step in the studio. By far, my favorite musicians of today.
Rachel Lokken
Yes! Nicely put.
Dj Fuse
