The Origin: Mayday Shotdown (2005) Before there was Closer 2 Closure, there was Mayday Shotdown. Dating back to the fall of 2005, Mayday Shotdown represents the very first time Titus and Kellin ever sat down in a room together to write music. Armed with nothing but raw emotion and an acoustic guitar, these early sessions captured the purest, most skeletal forms of the melodies that would eventually define their signature sound. While the band name eventually evolved into Closer 2 Closure, these rare, archived 2005 acoustic recordings are the true blueprints. Every track here features the original music and lyrics exactly as they were first created months before they were completely rewritten, rearranged, and polished into the tracks most listeners know today. This release is a time capsule of where the journey officially began.
