Miss May I Drop Apologies Are For The Weak
With the release of their first album(today, 23rd June), Apologies Are For The Weak, Miss May I (MMI) are setting up for a life on the road.
Their sound is heavier than Slipknot and just a little shy of Cradle of Filth. Your kind of thing? Then read on…
5 lads, just out of High school and none over the age of 19 are making massive headway in the heavy music scene. To accompany their album release they have scheduled a large list of shows so that everyone in America can come and see them scream play.
The tour is part of Artery Metal this summer with Carnifex, Impending Doom, Conducting The Grave, Underneath The Gun and Molotov Solution.
The band’s MySpace page has raked up impressive listening figures for their demo’s – over 3 million for Swing alone.
Hit us up in the comments if you have seen the guys live or are set to see them this summer.
Miss May I is a great band. I’ve known them for a few years, ever since 2006 if I remember correctly. I graduated high school with BJ Stead (guitar) and he was the one who turned me on to them. At this time, they were almost purely a screamo band. However, in the following years, they moved to a more thrash metal style, and the change, I believe, was well timed and well recieved. I have seen them play live numerous times, and they keep getting better. At concerts where they were only playing a short set, I’ve seen kids and fans come just for them. Recently, August 1, 2009, Miss May I headlined their first show in Dayton. I attended, and the place was packed. I know that numbers don’t make a band great. But Miss May I gave the crowd a fantastic show. And I know that they give a great show no matter who’s there. These men know exactly what they’re doing and how to do it well, and I can only see a great future for them.
