Saves the Day is a PopPunk[=/=]{{Emo}} band from Princeton, UsefulNotes/NewJersey that formed in 1994. They original had the name Sefler (an inside joke made by frontman Chris Conley, meaning someone who likes to have sex with SantaClaus) until a bandmate convinced them to change their name. However, they did not release an album until 1998, called ''Can't Slow Down''. The following year, they then released the album ''Through Being Cool'', named after the Music/{{Devo}} song of the same name. Both of these were reasonably successful. However, in 2001, they release their most critically acclaimed album, ''Stay What You Are''. This album took a new route into the genre of {{Emo}}. Then, in 2003, they took another, musically LighterAndSofter, route with the release of ''In Reverie''. This album mixed {{Grunge}} guitar, poppy synths, and a higher pitched, more effeminate voice, bringing forth memories of Music/TheBeatles. This album received generally poor reviews, however, has in recent years, gotten a cult following. Saves the Day then released a [[RuleOfThree trio of albums]], ''Sound the Alarm'', ''Under the Boards'', and finally ''Daybreak''. These combined all their previous sounds to produce something similar, yet different. It tells tales of sorrow, self discovery, and forgiveness.
They have recently reentered the studio to produce their newest album.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVK4Wspg3FM]]Their current drummer, Claudio, certainly seems to fit this trope.
* EpicRocking: ''Daybreak'' includes the TitleTrack (which is nearly 11 minutes long) and "Undress Me" (which is 4 seconds shy from being 5 minutes).
* EyeScream: ''Through Being Cool'''s "Rock's Tonic Juice Magic" talks about using spoons to dig out someones eyes and swallowing them. ''Ups and Down'''s "Sell My Old Clothes, I'm Off To Heaven" talks about stabbing one's own eyes to make them more interesting.
