Metalcore band Third & Delaware released their latest single "Mayflower" along with the official music video on February 24, 2023. The band recently signed a management deal with Lion of the North Media.

"Mayflower’s melody came to me in a nightmare. I woke up with the tune in my head, and I immediately recorded it as a voice memo. The track’s lyrics, including the name of the song itself, contain multiple double entendres. The Mayflower is of course known for transporting the pilgrims to the United States, so the song has nautical elements within the lyrics. I attempted suicide in May of 2019. If I had succeeded, my friends and family would be leaving me flowers that May, hence the title “May-flower”. The lyrics of the song showcases the contents of that nightmare through metaphors and double entendres. It is my crown jewel of lyrical and melodic art," says Richy Xiong, the band's vocalist.

Native to Dallas, TX, Third & Delaware arrived on the scene with the release of hard hitting Generations which included singles "Roads in Antarctica" and "Heart of Fire" in 2018. The band toured sporadically in the southern US in support of the release. The band released their follow up to Generations with "Schemas" being released December 2, 2022 to rave reviews.

In January 2023 T&D announced their first demonstrations of the year which would take place in Texas, Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana in support of the second single off of the rumored upcoming record set to be released sometime this year.

On Feb 24, 2023, "Mayflower" was unveiled via the bands Youtube channel. Also announced in early 2023 the band became the first band to release content (Mayflower) under the Lion of the North music company banner and became the company's first signing.

Third & Delaware will be supporting Fire from the Gods and Norma Jean in Dallas, TX at Trees on March 1, 2023.
