Biography
Princeton, New York NJ, United States (1994 – present)
They got together when its members were only 13, signed a label deal while still in high school, and went on to sell thousands of records, tour with blink-182 and Weezer, land songs on the playlist of Los Angeles’ KROQ, and influence countless followers.
Singer-songwriter-guitarist Chris Conley’s lacerating, frequently existential lyrics provide sharp counterpoint to his sweet melodic sensibility as the band exercises their penchant for a variety of rock, punk and pop hooks. In Reverie was produced by Rob Schnapf, who has worked with Saves The Day before, as well as with Beck, Elliott Smith and Guided By Voices.
Precocious from the get-go, Conley took up the cello at six. He had his first real rock ’n’ roll epiphany while sitting in his dad’s Mazda listening over and over on his Discman to the opening drum fill in “Stairway To Heaven.” “That summer I started playing guitar,” he explains. “I was 13. When I got back to school, a friend of mine, who was our drummer for a long time, asked me to come to his house and jam. David played guitar. That was the first incarnation of Saves The Day. We were called Indifference and later, Sefler, which came from an e-mail typo.”
Says Soloway: “We’d play on the street outside Chuck’s Café in Princeton.” “They had great wings,” Conley adds, “which is what they gave us for playing.” As Sefler moved indoors to the school gym and friends’ basements, they began discovering indie rock. “I was getting into Superchunk, Sunny Day Real Estate, Archers Of Loaf, Jawbreaker …, ” Conley recalls. “We would play as hard and fast as we possibly could without losing the melody.”

If any of you are like me and play guitar to STD songs but haven't found good tabs for In Reverie then this kid will become your hero too: http://www.youtube.com/feed/UCY9uBEgyRe-KwsbdDCtWZDA/u He's worked out both guitar parts for the whole album and put detailed tabs in the video descriptions. Amazing.

Daybreak was criminally underrated [3] V Agreed on the whole 'albums being deeper than perceived'. Lots of symbolism riddled throughout the albums like fire and setting suns in STA, then darkness and confined places and stars in UTB and then, Daybreak was like this awakening with reflection and clouds, trees and light.

Daybreak was criminally underrated [2] Seriously consider Daybreak on the same level as Stay What You Are. And yeah @PorchLuck, the whole trilogy is underrated. It's a lot deeper than people even give it credit for.

Sounds like Boards of Canada for children and metalheads.

Haha they're all good, hands down Can't Slow Down is up there as one of my favourites. I don't know; I like evolution in music, I love watching and hearing bands and artists evolve as time molds them and I think Saves + Chris shows a lot of growing. And to me, Daybreak just seems like a new era of music for the band and Chris. I get people aren't going to like it and I can see totally why - the whiney voice, the almost corny lyrics and musical style is drastically different - but I like those elements and don't have a single problem with any changes the band has made.

@diamond_tough. you digging the new tune? oh wait, you're too elitist to get over your pop-punk principles and what is "cool" to listen to real music. Just because Chris matured and you didn't, doesn't mean that you take your third-world problems out on me.
