The ability to evolve and push boundaries has never been more important than it is now. While the mainstream becomessafer,thedynamic,genre-bending acts are driven underground, to be discovered by a whole new generation of music fansnotcontent with the identikitbandspushed at them through the major media. It is this hallowed place that A DAY TOREMEMBERhas not-so-subtly been taking over, fromstereosto mosh pits across the world. While the music industryscrambles to discoverthe next big thing, A DAY TO REMEMBER has beenbecoming it,showing that with the right amount ofhard work, strong songs,an unfaltering self-belief, and that indefinable spark of somethingreallyspecial, anything is possible.Rising from the punk rock hotbed of Florida in 2003, Josh Woodard (bass), Alex Shellnutt (drums), Neil Westfall(guitar),JeremyMcKinnon(vocals) and Tom Denney (guitar) formed A DAY TO REMEMBER, crafting a blend of the music theyloved intoa niche of their own.Theirsound combined the punk-pop of BLINK-182 and NEW FOUND GLORY with brutalhardcore beatdowns, sending shudders throughtheunderground. Their debut on Indianola records sold 8,000 copies with littlepromotion,and attracted the attention of Victory Records,whosigned them in 2006. “When we first got signed, our goalwasn't to blow upor even sell a ton of records,” recalls bassist Josh Woodard.“Allwe wanted to do was stay on tour, and playto as many kids aspossible.” The result exceeded even their expectations, as theinfectious,explosive energy of their liveshows helped themorganically grow a fan base that multiplied each time they played.With the release of their breakthrough album For Those Who Have Heart, A DAY TO REMEMBER went global. In thetwoshort yearsafterits release in early 2007, the band grew from a small band with a dedicated local fan-base into aworldwidephenomenon, gaining therespectand adoration from their peers as much as their fans. This is no overnight success– the bandhas worked hard to win over every fantheymake. But the "perfect storm" of their dedication, rapidly-spreadingbuzz andundeniable musical abilities have made this young band oneofthe most talked about bands in rock, gainingthemselves acoveted slot in Alternative Press’ Most Anticipated Albums 2009 issue.Selling out tours worldwide, their lyrics “Mark my words: we’re taking over the world” became a self-fulfilling prophecy, astheband hit theroadwith bands they grew up listening to like New Found Glory and Silverstein, and had a full summer on theVansWarped Tour. Embracedby themedia, A DAY TO REMEMBER made it on to “Ones To Watch” lists internationally, pickingup aKerrang! Award nomination forBestInternational Newcomer; the video for their rocked-up cover of Kelly Clarkson’s“SinceU Been Gone” unshakable from music televisionoversummer 2008. Their new album Homesick sees them usingtheirascension as a springboard, ready to launch them into the bigtime.“Homesick is a culmination of 2-1/2 years ofbeinggone on the road. It represents what we've been through, what's ahead of us,andthe lessons we've learned in between.It'sthe heaviest and catchiest record we've ever written, and we couldn't be more excited forpeopleto hear it. We're all soproudof what we just made, and think it really sets us up to jump to that next level,” notes Woodard.In an industry where you have to evolve to stay ahead, A DAY TO REMEMBER is standing defiant, leading the genre-straddlingpack in abattlecry, ready for the fight of their lives. Grab your friends, “disrespect your surroundings”, and watch ADAY TOREMEMBER set the worldalight.The mainstream won’t know what hit it. « hide |
