Saves The Day
Sep 26, 2011
After originally forming in 1994 under the name Sefler, lead vocalist and guitarist Chris Conley, guitarist Arun Bali, bassist Rodrigo Palma, and drummer Claudio Rivera changed to Saves the Day and released their debut studio album, Can't Slow Down, in 1998. It was followed by Through Being Cool (1999) and Stay What You Are (2001 ), which spawned two successful music videos on MTV2, for the singles "At Your Funeral" and "Freakish", and has since sold 300,000 copies. After the success of Stay What You Are, Saves the Day signed to Dreamworks Records, who co-released their next studio album, In Reverie, with Vagrant Records which peaked at number 27 on the Billboard 200.
The band announced in January 2006 that they would release Sound the Alarm in April. The album marked a return to the band's darker lyrics and drew more from their influences than In Reverie had. During the Sound the Alarm recording sessions, the band also recorded an EP of acoustic versions of several songs from past albums, which was sold on tour throughout 2006 as Bug Sessions Volume One. It was announced that Sound the Alarm was part one of a three part concept. The next album in the trilogy was released in 2007, titled Under the Boards. Produced by Marc Jacob Hudson and Saves The Day, the much anticipated Daybreak, released via Razor & Tie on September 13th, is the final piece of a three album concept trilogy that started with the 2006 release Sound The Alarm and the 2008 release Under The Boards.
"Sound The Alarm is an expression of discontent. Under The Boards is reflection and remorse. Daybreak is acceptance," explains Chris Conley. "Daybreak wraps up the challenges we wrote about on the previous two albums and transcends the pain those songs were about by facing the fear and angst that comes in this life and tiring it into growth and positive change." The first single from the album will be "Deranged & Desperate."
Saves The Day recently announced their fall co-headlining US tour with Bayside that kicks off on October 6th in Philadelphia, making stops in 31 cities across the United States.
