Princeton, New York NJ, United States (1994 – present)
Saves The Day is a Rock band from Princeton, New Jersey and formed in 1994.
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.”

They definitely weren't emo. They're alternative. Emo was MCR and Taking Back Sunday. Save the Day's style was more like 90's alternative. Thank God emo's gone for the most part bc it sucked balls.

@Timppa, they were pretty much straight up pop-punk. That would be like calling Green Day an original emo band. They liked 90s emo bands, but it didn't really show up in their sound. It's kind of like Converge, they liked a lot of thrash metal and hardcore punk, but instead of sounding like Slayer playing punk, they ended up being in a league of their own. I think Saves the Day is kind of like that.

kadeftw, I'm with you. I enjoy the entire Saves the Day discography. And I'm very excited for future albums with the current lineup.

Every album is good in different ways. They've progressed well, but I can see why some people wouldn't be fans of Under the Boards or In Reverie, if they really dig things like Can't Slow Down and Through Being Cool. I feel like I'm the only one that enjoys everything this band has released.
