Saves the Day - Day 1

In high school, the first music I got into was the emo and post-hardcore scenes. I got into bands like Thursday, At the Drive-In, Yellowcard, and Saves the Day. I thought it was amazingly cool to hear bands sing about emotional issues or political issues or whatever else they felt like singing about. All I had really listened to previously was Christian pop/rock. I really liked Saves the Day and still consider them a classic emo/pop punk band. I don't know who, if any of this blog's readers will enjoy this, but I plan to post a few Saves the Day albums over the next few days.

I'll end this week with a nifty progressive weekend followed by a metal Monday. So if you hate this, there is good stuff to look forward to.

Anyway, the first Saves the Day you can enjoy is the first two studio albums they released in 1998 and 1999 respectively. I hope you all can enjoy them.
