[Rohan Kohli]

Saves the Day (http://www.savestheday.com) has completely finished their new album. Now all they need is a label to put it out...

[Lucky Denver]

Wait a fucking second, when did they leave Vagrant?

[flipandbaker08]

:wow: NOW..... we wait :(

[Drew Beringer]

It'll be interesting to see who picks them up.

[seconds]

aww man! why leave vagrant?

[Greg Dona]

someone please pick these super-dudes up! i querer this cd!

[Jason Tate]

I'll put it out. :P

[The Silencer]

I would laugh so hard if Drive-Thru picked them up...


but realistically, it's almost definitely going to be a major label.

[70x7]

aww man! why leave vagrant?
They haven't been on Vagrant in years. I can see this ending up on Doghouse or even something like Polyvinyl.

[waggy]

haven't they been off vagrant for years? their last album was released by dreamworks but they were dropped after it didn't sell the numbers they were hoping for. based on the clips i've heard and the recent success of "scene" bands, i imagine this one will do much better.

[UncleRico]

Fucking Militia Group - they would be an awesome add...

I want a Saves the Day/Copeland/Cartel tour :)

Well they are off Dreamworks because it is no longer a record label.

[mattcuz83]

this amazes me.

[JoeT]

Wait a fucking second, when did they leave Vagrant?

Vagrant? their last album [in reverie] wasn't even on vagrant i think it was on the now defunct dreamworks which has melded into some univeral subsidiary...someone should def. pick this band up asap it sucks that this process will probably delay the album an extra six months potentially

[JacksColdSweat]

This album should be dope.

[Ruggiero2oo8]

It'll be interesting to see who picks them up.


indeed. anyone smart would.

[Lucky Denver]

Yeah, I looked at the In Reverie case. I guess I never payed attention. Maybe Vagrant should sign them back. Or...The Miltia Group? Mmm.

[boekebong]

I'll put out for Chris and crew. :wow:


Wait, I think I may have read that wrong...
The offer still stands though. ;)

[Drew Beringer]

I'll put it out. :P

Haha, that would rule.

[abusedcat]

I could see Fueled By Ramen or Epitaph putting it out.

[screamoURI]

its got to be a major. that would be some sick shit tho if they went back to equal vision. i'm bettin on island

[Scott Weber]

correct.

[AMTS Peter]

they are looking for a major. Midtown did the same thing when they left geffen/mca. they just recorded and then got picked up by columbia after the record was recorded.

[abrandnewused]

its got to be a major. that would be some sick shit tho if they went back to equal vision. i'm bettin on island
Not a bad prediction.

Island's been really smart lately. They've sold millions with the killers/the bravery/FOB. They sign great "scene" bands like thursday and the bronx and they just put out Vheissu. Smart label, maybe they'll realize the potential this album has.

[blaubs21]

in all seriousness, these dudes don't need a record label. Did anyone read about Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! in Rolling Stone? Based off album sales, those dudes have made $130,000 by putting the album out THEMSELVES, no record label. Without the beuracracy of a label, they make a profit of $8 a CD as opposed to $1 or $2 most major label bands see. Based off name recognition alone, Saves The Day could sell REALLY decent numbers. just some food for thought.

[number1alien]

English Majors everywhere are sobbing at this news post.

[Talib Scottie]

Major or high level indie. It's not going to be FBR or Doghouse, I'll promise you that.

[oxfordqueef]

I could definately see Island putting it out. I could also see Militia Group or DTR.

$130,000 isn't really that much. Im currently a booking agent at ISU and its crazy to see how much bands/actors get for just ONE show. Thats like about 6 shows for a band. Let Dave Chappelle put this cd out... he makes at least $150,000 per show, or Yellowcard who makes this in 3 shows. Im looking at putting on a festival on campus and its costing me about $200,000 for the bands. So if any of theses work out, I'll give the money to Jason and let him start a record lable, he could do it...

[Greg]

yea.... a certain band we asked about booking is 50k.... another one was 25k..... its insane

[leafsacc]

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! isn't exactly Saves the Day, they could sell a ton of records and make much more than $130,000. I think this will be a great reconrd because there was no pressure from a major label this time around. can't wait

[Sureshot182]

i have no idea who will pick up std, but island does seem to be signing "scene" type bands. that would be cool, but saves the day on drive thru would be beyond my wildest dream. let's just hope saves the day gets the promotion and reception we all know they deserve.

[screamoURI]

THIS JUST IN:

Saves the day added a date on their tour w/senses fail and early november. The show is on Friday December 16 in Providence, RI. Special guests are TREOS.

can i say, fuck yeah?

[CraigRise]

Saves the Day (http://www.savestheday.com) has completely finished their new album. Now all they need is a label to put it out...
Back to EVR!!

[paul manley]

equal vision would be sick but it wont happen.

i think island sounds like a good prediction, but i dunno. it will be interesting.

[rr_thecrowing]

English Majors everywhere are sobbing at this news post.

Whoa now, read it again. It makes sense. The label is the one putting it out. Saves the Day is the band. Mmkuy?

[Cal Smith]

I say they release it online (ap.net perahps) and charge $9 even for the full download. That way you cut out the middle man/record label.

[mybleedinheart]

pretty sure theyll be back with vagrant. Current tour Senses Fail (vagrant) and replacing Say Anything is Emanuel (vagrant) so the tour is pretty much run by the vag. We'll see though.

[InaGreendase]

Vagrant would be stupid not to take them back. It's a guaranteed 100,000 moved within a few months, plenty more beyond that I'm sure.

Any of you saying Doghouse / Polyvinyl are being pretty naive...it should be obvious Saves the Day could score any monster indie (Epitaph / Vagrant / etc.) if not a good handful of majors.

$130,000 isn't really that much. Im currently a booking agent at ISU and its crazy to see how much bands/actors get for just ONE show. Thats like about 6 shows for a band. Let Dave Chappelle put this cd out... he makes at least $150,000 per show, or Yellowcard who makes this in 3 shows.

So if any of theses work out, I'll give the money to Jason and let him start a record lable, he could do it...

What does this have to do with anything? In any event, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! don't quite have the "household name" recogntion Chappelle and YC do, and thus $130K is pretty stellar for a -- albeit hyped the shit out of -- indie band.

[unwritten]

Yay!!

[timmysavedlatin]

I could definately see Island putting it out. I could also see Militia Group or DTR.

saves the day is way too big for those labels. especially since dtr hasn't put out a big album in ages. militia group USUALLY only signs christian-affiliated bands. island will probably be a front runner. maybe universal?

i thought they were dropped from dreamworks because dreamworks went under?

[stevo]

hmm, isn't pete the owner of vagrant? ..or at least i thought

[timmysavedlatin]

hmm, isn't pete the owner of vagrant? ..or at least i thought

which pete? last i checked, rich egan owned vagrant.

[Nightingale00]

island would definetely promote the hell out of this album.
look at what they've done with VHIESSU
they had so much promotion and hype and Podcasts. and sooo much stuff.
they've got quite a good promotion team.

[DeathCabForCoon]

I just got back from the show in Charlotte. They rocked my socks off. They played a new song called "The End." It blew the audience away, i can't wait for this album!

[Lemieux66]

I say they release it online (ap.net perahps) and charge $9 even for the full download. That way you cut out the middle man/record label.

Less than 12 news posts away from 62 replies praising Thrice's release of a deluxe edition with book. Brilliant idea.

Oh yeah, and all record labels obviously do nothing for the bands and don't help sales in any way whatsoever.

[blaubs21]

yes i wasn't really implying the amount of money that could be made, just trying to prove that bands do not NEED labels in order to thrive and succeed. If Saves The Day really wanted to, they could sell a decent amount of records by themselves without the promotional push most likely. It was just food for thought.

[Rufio21]

They haven't been on Vagrant in years. I can see this ending up on Doghouse or even something like Polyvinyl.

Both too small... EVR (long shot), Columbia, or Vargrant are my choices.

[CROMagnon]

i'm simply excited

[Drew Beringer]

This album has great, great potential to be album of the year in 2006. Everyone is saying Brand New or Thursday for album of the year next year, but I won't be surprised if STD takes it.

[thispostscript]

id say absolutely a major label if not a huge indie, this band is so above a militia or drive thru, i mean this is saves the day , a complete staple in this scene and as stated previously it will be even bigger with the huge popularity of emo rock nowadays, this record is gonna be enormous.

and i think we all need a huge record from this band, it seems these days alot of records are good but not at a classic level, we def need another through bein cool, full collapse or tell all your friends caliber album

Now that is a very bold statement/prediction. But hey, I love all three of those bands, so I guess we shall see...

Awesome, I don't care who with, just the fact that they are and that the album will be out sooner then later.

I know what youre talking about. Social D's fee is 50K.

[MindspiN]

i saw them play tonight with senses fail and early novemmber and emanuel.....they played a new song and its fucking awesome. This cd will be great.

What did it sound like? Completely different? Older album similarities? Tell me, tell me.

[earlynovemberX]

they played a new song tonight at the show in charlotte....and it was awesome. alot faster then stuff as of recent, reminded me of cant slow down era. anyways they also played you vandal for the 2nd time in 5 years. and it was phenomenal.

[mondeoman]

They haven't been on Vagrant in years. I can see this ending up on Doghouse or even something like Polyvinyl.
I thought In Reverie was partially released on Vagrant. Either way, I say Doghouse gets them. It's a perfect fit.

[Lemieux66]

Fuck yes I called it.

[MindspiN]

What did it sound like? Completely different? Older album similarities? Tell me, tell me.
it was a lot faster than In Reverie...Chris also sings more like he did on cant slow down and through being cool. Definately reminds me more of cant slow down. sounds like cant slow down mixed with When it Isnt Like It Should Be, I Think i'll quit, and 1959...Fucking great.

[alexxcore]

they should sign to capitol

[roberthuston]

Thats a joke, right? Saves the Day should have labels begging for them. I sure it won't be a big hassle for the band. Any news of the release date? This is the only band that I have seen better music live than cd. They were great two years ago. Loved the DET show.

[silentcries]

and i thought that when my hamster died, it was sad~

[IceTech]

hallelujah

[UncleRico]

um WRONG. How about the new band, Controlling the Famous - talking about the good life and fucking in the sun. I think you meant Tooth and Nail.

[|Shortys|]

old news records been done for a while, the one new track (Say You'll Never Leave) they played the other night at the myrtle show definatly makes this one promising album

[monkeyboy14]

Did they get dropped by DreamWorks?

[Gleebo]

Id put my money on Interscope for some reason.

Anything but Epic would be good.


The Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, ...trail of dead, Jimmy Eat World, Dredg, JamisonParker, Brand New, and AFI.... yeah Saves the Day could fit in here easily...

Im already wetting myself at the possibility of a label sponsored Saves The Day/The Hives tour.

[RockVocalPower]

...Dreamworks got folded into Interscope, I believe.

So yeah, not happening. It's all under the Universal umbrella, though.

[actionandaction]

oh, the show where buddy's testicles fell out of his pants?

[I.O]

abacus!

[dead&broken]

Hopefully island records, if not i would love to see them on Militia. Them and Cartel = awsome tour:bigsmile:

[yanggoh]

STD on Sub Pop would be mad crazy

Brand New is on Razor and Tie pal

[RockVocalPower]

Brand New is on Razor and Tie pal

Hahahaha no.

Brand New WAS on Triple Crown, which was distributed by Razor and Tie. Razor and Tie also distributes Kidz Bop and shit like that. They're technically on Interscope now, I believe.

its like that with all colleges..even the donkiest bands get a few hundred bucks. colleges are the "major labels" of venues. they have money

[Bury Your Head]

judging by the tour they are on id say either vagrant or island. id love to see island just cause the poor guys deserve the success. id suck though to see teeny boppers digging it or the new bright eye fans and shit.

vagrant, if they could do the promotion through the fucking roof id rather see std back with them. dreamworks is shit i wonder what happend to alien ant farm, they were on dreamworks

[ThriceBoy]

Fuck yes I called it.

shut up

[btbam > you]

i really want this album

[kg00d]

sweet, should be good.

[duffe]

This news made my day. Now labels hurry up !!!

[Deja_romance]

Wait a fucking second, when did they leave Vagrant?

They left when they realsed In Reverie on Dreamworks. Vagrant didnt take them back because they left the label before the cd was supposed to be realeased by them. Dreamworks dropped them because In Reverie didn't sell that well. So now they are in the same situation was Midtown was in. They are free agents.

[ParisInFlames55]

some real quick thoughts for all you tikes. although i am almost certain this record will be released on a major, don't rule out an indie label. Mxpx released their record on an indie label. This story isn't all that uncommon. Mxpx went though it, Midtown, Jimmy Eat World...theres quite a few big names that can be put on the list. My bets are on Island or Columbia, but I would love to see this band take over the indie scene again. I would say they will be signed by early november at least. early november doesn't equal the band, but just the time of the year. thats all.

[chugger182]

you might want to check the back of their last cd for the answer to that one!

Wait a fucking second, when did they leave Vagrant?

[ForeverInADay]

They haven't been on Vagrant in years. I can see this ending up on Doghouse or even something like Polyvinyl.
Doghouse I can see, either that or something big like Sony or Universal...

[xRevengeISeekx]

Hahahaha no.

Brand New WAS on Triple Crown, which was distributed by Razor and Tie. Razor and Tie also distributes Kidz Bop and shit like that. They're technically on Interscope now, I believe.

I think they're on Columbia now.

anways my guess is Island or Columbia.

[Talib Scottie]

Hahahaha no.

you are correct, by way of Dreamworks, which is the same label Saves the Day WAS on.
