A Day to Remeber

This is a band that i first heard about when i was into, i guess you could say, hardcore music. I grew out of the rest of it but A Day to Remember stuck with me. They have really catchy songs that you can't help but sing along with.

Jeremy McKinnon - vocals
Neil Westfall - guitar Tom Denney - guitar Joshua Woodard - bass Alex Shellnutt - drums

They have produces two records thus far one under Victory Records and the other under Indianola Records. Their first album is called And Their Name was Treason. It was very successful for the fact that it's existence was spread through word of mouth only. Then they got signed to a new label and they came out with For those who Have Heart. They were nominated for an award for this album, the best international newcomer, but they didn't win, sadly. They have been on many tour including the all famous warped tour in 2008. I saw them live with The Devil Wears Prada, in Iowa City, which was Amazing.
Their style is post-hardcore however their meldoy is more pop punk which always invites a good sing-alongs. The music has an up-beat, happy, jump up and down feel that i need in times of termoil. Monument is my favorite song on their second CD and it should be yours.



Alas A Day to Remember is coming out with a new CD titled Homesick. The CD is scheduled to be released February 3rd.
