Saves the Day will return with their first album in five years, 9, on October 26th via Equal Vision Records. The follow-up to their 2013 self-titled LP is described as an encapsulation of the band’s journey from founder Chris Conley’s perspective. Lead single “Rendezvous” saw Conley juxtaposing the basement shows of Saves the Day’s early years with the international acclaim they have today to express his gratitude. On new track “Kerouac & Cassady”, he looks forward as the band gets ready for yet another tour.

A propulsive and unrelenting pop punk fist-pumper, “Kerouac & Cassady” takes listeners through a week on the road with Saves the Day. “Monday swing from a chandelier, peeling oranges, drinking American Beer/ Two floors down get caught in a revolving door,” Conley sings with the assurance of someone who actually experienced these things. “Sunday drive to the next airport, one oxblood boot on a black dashboard/ 20 years into a lifelong endless tour.”
