If you've had the pleasure of driving around with a car full of friends, blasting the Saves The Day anthem, "Shoulder to the Wheel," then you need zero explanation of the reasons for attending this show. The New Jersey quartet were, and are, masters of the kind of melodic punk — somewhere between pop-punk and emo — that was perfected in the late '90s. Whether you see Saves The Day favorites, like 1999's Through Being Cool and 2001's Stay What You Are, as guilty pleasures or legit classics, this band is still going for a reason. What too many people forget is that Saves The Day has continued putting out dark thoughtful and melody-driven records that continue to stand up to its own legacy. So, remember, kids: Saves The Day isn't just for nostalgia — it's still mostly about feelings.
