Biography
Saves the Day formed in 1994 with a much different lineup than they have to date. Over the last decade there have been many members in and out of the band the one which has remained from the start is lead singer, guitarist and bass player; Chris Conley.
In 1988, while the band members were still in high school, they had their first release through Equal Vision Records - the album was titled "Can't Slow Down".
The 14 track album was well received on the punk scene and received the rating of four stars from Punknews.
1999 would see the release of the bands second album "Through Being Cool" which was even more successful than its predecessor. It has been cited as being one of the most influential pop-punk albums of all time and it is not hard to see why, as it contained tracks such as "Third Engine".
"Third Engine" has a punchy guitar with a steady paced drum pattern and strong voice from Chris Conley. The style in which Chris sings with has gone on to be the distinctive sound of the band and it is almost impossible to match these vocals with others in the music industry.
As of today the band have released eight albums, their most recent being the self titled 2013 album "Saves The Day". The band have announced that they will be touring with "Say Anything" and will be receiving support from "Reggie and the Full Effect"
The current members of the band are as follows: Chris Conley - vocals, Arun Bali - lead guitar and backing vocals, Rodrigo Palma - bass and Dennis Wilson - drums.
Live reviews
So you want to have a great experience, listening to a great artist? Then you need to go see Saves The Day live, anywhere, any chance you get.
I was able to see them at the Live at Pouzza Fest Montréal in 2013. Of course they performed "At Your Funeral" and the crowd sung along with them every word. We were really feeling that song that night.
Chris Conley's voice is just so angelic and I can feel every words that comes out of his mouth. Of course you know there is not a Saves The Day performance that would be complete without a mosh pit and some stage diving. People were hopping on stage and then back into the crowd. Now how many artist don't mind you rocking out with them as they perform?? Not Saves The Day and that is why you have to see a live performance of them.
I can't put into words how great it is, but the experience is one to be had. I have been rockin with Saves The Day since the beginning and even though Chris is the only original member left I have a place in my heart for all the members.
