Saves The Day

Saves The Day are an emo/pop punk/indie band from Princeton, New Jersey. They initially formed in 1994 under the name Sefler until changing it in 1997. They formed at a very young age, with their debut album Can't Slow Down while they were still in high school. They continued on to release three albums now considered essentials in emo/pop punk, and crucial in developing the genre in their wake. These are the catchy and adolescent-essential Through Being Cool, the quintessential classic Stay What You Are, and the experimental In Reverie. After those, they released an album in 2006, and 2007, and 2011, which were intended to be a three-album concept. They also put out a self-titled album in 2013.

Throughout the history of Saves The Day, they have had constant member shifts, therefore most albums have a radically different line-up. The only constant member of the band is frontman Chris Conley. They have also worked with numerous labels as diverse as Equal Vision, Vagrant, Dreamworks, Razor & Tie, and currently Rory Records (owned by Max Bemis of Say Anything). Thanks to Jacob Shumaker for the help with this post. Enjoy!
