Artist of the Week: Saves The Day
Here's the deal, I know it's Tuesday and I'm running a little behind on my Artist of the Week. See, I was at Wizard World Chicago Comic book Convention all weekend, and I was at the Taste of Chicago yesterday. So as you can see, I've been pretty busy. As for today, I can just rest, relax and catch up on things, like this. So lets get to it. This week's artist is this cool band that pops into my head every once in a while. But before we get to that, let's find out a little bit more about them. The band started out from New Jersey in 1997. Although the band has gone through many line-up changes, two members, Chris Conley and guitarist David Soloway, have pretty much been the norm. In the beginning the band had a hardcore punk rock sound. They released three album's, Can't Slow Down, Through Being Cool and I'm Sorry I'm Leaving. In 2001, the band started movie away from that with the release of Stay What You Are. The new album had more of a pop sound and because of which, was enjoyed by another genre. The band then went on to have a major hit with the video to "At Your Funeral", which happens to be my favorite song. with the success of this album, The band went on to sign with a major record label in Dreamworks Records. In 2003 the band released In Reverie under Dreamworks and Vagrant, but sadly the album received no support from Dreamsworks.
