Saves the Day is a PopPunk[=/=]{{Emo|Music}} 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 released their most critically acclaimed album, ''Stay What You Are''. This album took a new route into the genre of {{Emo|Music}}. 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.

!!Saves the Tropes:
* {{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: "Rock's Tonic Juice Magic" from ''Through Being Cool'' talks about using spoons to dig out someone's eyes and swallowing them. "Sell My Old Clothes, I'm Off to Heaven" from ''Ups and Downs'' talks about stabbing one's own eyes to make them more interesting.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Stated in [[http://www.ourstage.com/blog/2011/9/13/exclusive-qa-saves-the-day-find-new-hope-in-daybreak-2 this interview]].
* IAmTheBand: Type 2. Frontman Chris Conley is now the only remaining band member from the original lineup.
* VocalEvolution: Chris' voice on older albums is different from his current, nasal voice, which he started using on ''In Reverie''.
