Saves the Day is an American rock band formed in 1997 in Princeton, New Jersey. The band currently consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Chris Conley, guitarist Arun Bali, bassist Rodrigo Palma, and drummer Claudio Rivera. After forming under the name Sefler in 1994, Saves the Day released their debut studio album, Can't Slow Down, through Equal Vision Records in 1998. It was followed by Through Being Cool (1999), which featured their first single, "Shoulder to the Wheel". The band achieved mainstream success with the release of Stay What You Are (2001), released through Vagrant Records, which sold 200,000 copies and spawned the MTV2 hit singles ''At Your Funeral" and "Freakish". The album's success allowed the band to sign to the major label DreamWorks Records, who released the band's fourth album In Reverie (2003). DreamWorks folded into Interscope Records, who dropped the band weeks after the album's release. The band have since released five more albums under the Vagrant, Razor & Tie and Equal Vision labels, with their most recent, 9, being released on October 26, 2018. In May 2021, Conley was accused of sexual misconduct and grooming by a fan, prompting a statement from Equal Vision and Conley, who took responsibility for some of his actions. Equal Vision quietly removed Saves the Day from their roster in April 2022 without an announcement.
