And frankly, they seem quite proud of it. At an event to promote the latest Xbox, Mayday sang a number of their songs, but was informed that their volume exceeded the permitted 85 decibels. The band’s response? They might have to be quieter, but the audience was under no such restriction. My guess is that encouraging those in attendance to be even louder in the face of the noise warning was outside the spirit of the thing, but they accepted their fine gracefully. Actually, it seems they accepted it somewhat enthusiastically, noting that in the past, they’ve been fined indirectly for noise violations, but this one was the most severe. Loud noise is part of rock music, Monster noted, so the band played on.
