Saves the Day

Saves the Day are a Princeton, New Jersey emo/indie-rock/melodic punk band fronted by Chris Conley. A foundational name in late-'90s and early-2000s emo, the band built its reputation on melodic punk energy, sharp hooks, and Conley’s emotionally direct songwriting, heavily influenced by the band Lifetime, with albums including Can't Slow Down, Through Being Cool and Stay What You Are.

In September 2026, Saves the Day returned with “INVADER,” their first original song in eight years. The Equal Vision Records single features Walter Schreifels of Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits and Rival Schools, who also co-wrote the track with the band.

Saves the Day Return With First New Song in Eight Years, “INVADER,” Featuring Walter Schreifels

Saves the Day are back with “INVADER,” their first original song in eight years. The new single features guest vocals from Walter Schreifels of Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits and Rival Schools, who also co-wrote the track with the band.

Released via Equal Vision Records, “INVADER” is described as a spiritual successor to Youth of Today’s “Disengage,” carrying that song’s hardcore spirit forward with a message centered on unity and transcendence. “It was a dream to work on ‘INVADER’ together with our hero Walter Schreifels at his studio in Upstate New York, and we’re still pinching ourselves that he co-wrote this song with us,” Saves the Day’s Chris Conley says. “Bringing the song to life with Steve Evetts in Nashville and New Jersey was like coming home after a long stay away, and we couldn’t be more proud of the results.”

The Sean Stout-directed video for “INVADER” is streaming now. Saves the Day also head out this fall supporting Taking Back Sunday and Thrice in the U.S., followed by a UK run celebrating the 25th anniversary of Stay What You Are.
