Trailer Park is a song that resonates in all the right ways.

Mayrunner, an alternative and punk band based in Lafayette, Louisiana, has returned with a new single titled ‘Trailer Park,’ and we can't stop listening to it. For those who aren't familiar with the band, Mayrunner has been a prominent part of the Lafayette music scene for quite some time. We even featured them in an article for RADFest back in 2023.

Although the band took a hiatus when their lead vocalist, Devric Taylor, relocated to another state, they are now making a strong comeback and are ready to make their mark in the evolving music landscape.

The current line-up of Mayrunner is: Devric Taylor (vocals/guitar), Henry Milliman (bass), Coleman Wilson (guitar), and Phil Hardy (drums).

Some of their past releases include Good for What We Are, which came out in 2018, and Tell Me Where You’ve Been, released in 2023.

Today, let's explore the new song 'Trailer Park.' It opens powerfully with Devric's echoing vocals, then transitions into a beautifully chaotic sound before gradually softening into a slower tempo. I enjoy it when bands incorporate tempo changes; it keeps the music feeling fresh. As the chorus begins to build, it rolls effortlessly and is incredibly well-crafted. Once it starts building, it does not let up until it has to end, and then it trails off with one of those heavy basslines I love.
