An American alternative rock band, Saves The Day, emerged from Princeton, New Jersey in 1994 under the name Sefler. Their distinctive sound combines melodic hardcore and pop punk elements. Led by *Chris Conley* on vocals and guitar since their inception, the current lineup also includes guitarist *Arun Bali*, bassist *Rodrigo Palma*, and drummer Dennis Wilson.

Over the years, Saves The Day has seen several changes in their lineup. Former members include Bryan Newman on drums (1994-2002), Justin Gaylord on guitar (1994-1997), Anthony Anastacio on guitar (1997-1998), David Soloway on guitar and vocals (1998-2009), Ted Alexander on guitar (1998-2002), Sean McGrath on bass (1998–1999), Eben D'Amico on bass and vocals (1999–2005), Alex Garcia-Rivera on drums (2002), Pete Parada on drums (2002–2007), Manuel Carrero on bass (2005–2009), Durijah Lang on drums (2007–2009), Spencer Peterson on drums (2009–2010) and Claudio Rivera as their most recent drummer from 2010 to 2013.

Saves The Day draws inspiration from a range of musical influences. Fans of bands like The Movielife, The Get Up Kids, I

Punk rock finally smiled during the late '90s and into the millennium, thanks to the bands like New Found Glory, Sum 41, and countless other TRL mainstays. New Jersey's own Saves the Day play with post-punk stylings on their third album, Stay What You Are. More mature compared to 1999's Through Being Cool, Stay What You Are mixes emocore delight with post-grunge snarl, and Saves the Day's harmonies are jaunty and tight. But the album is also quite dark and grim; they stay close to the anger found in punk in the first place. Album opener "At Your Funeral" pauses at the idea of death of a peer. Frontman Chris Conley's boyish vocals project a façade of sweet, bouncy sounds, practically glossy and sheer. The bleak descriptions found on "Jukebox Breakdown" and "Nightingale" capture the grittiest three-chord riffs and Saves the Day's highest artistic moment yet. They're bittersweet from love, and self-discovery is most pertinent. They want to avoid such loss, and "All I'm Losing Is Me" suggests that. Saves the Day is conscious of what's affecting their generation, post Generation-X, and they're asking thousands of questions. Stay What You Are yearns to fight the compromise within social standards and complies with bit of self-indulgence.
