Perfecting their power pop rock since the mid-'90s,
New Jersey's Saves the Day calls it like it is. They
refrain from characteristic pogo-pouncing anthems
for their own quirky post-punk and energetic live
shows. Chris Conley (vocals), Eben D'Amico (bass),
Ted Alexander (guitar), David Soloway (guitar), and
Bryan Newman (drums) made their debut with 1997's
Can't Slow Down with production work from Steve Evetts
(Sepultura, Dillinger Escape Plan, Sick of it All).
Through Being Cool followed two years later, gaining
a wider fan base and critical success among select
punk markets, however Saves the Day changed things
up for 2001's Stay What You Are. Their third installment,
and first release for Vagrant Records, Stay What You
Are brought Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith, Toadies)
to the mixing boards for a more structured punk rock
effort. In Reverie, the band's first for DreamWorks,
followed two years later. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All
