Saves The Day talks about "Sound The Alarm"

Saves The Day recently revealed some more information about their upcoming self-funded full length in an interview with MTV. The album, titled Sound The Alarm is tentatively scheduled for release in spring 2006 though the label situation has not yet been resolved.

Tracks like "Bones," "Eulogy," "Head for the Hills," "Hell Is Here" and "Don't Know Why" will appear on the record which was produced by Steve Evetts who also worked on records from Story of the Year and Dillinger Escape Plan. Evetts worked on two of the band's most acclaimed releases, 1998's Can't Slow Down and Through Being Cool.

Frontman Chris Conley had this to say about the style of record:

We wrote songs unintentionally. They just kind of happened. And after we recorded them, we realized that this is quite different from the last record. That happens each time [we record] because we never sit down to have a powwow and discuss what we're going to do. I think people find that interesting about us -- that every record is something brand new. Listening back to all the albums we've made, it's kind of shocking how different they are.

Conley also described his frustration with major labels like Universal who released the band's last album, In Reverie, saying:

I understand it's a business, but these guys might as well be selling cars. [...] I don't want to hang my hopes and dreams on a bunch of guys that're just trying to make quarter earnings. Anything indie is more comforting, in theory, than a big conglomerate. That just makes me feel nervous.

Speculation about the band's future home abound, but the frontman remains tight-lipped. Punknews.org's own Brian Shultz described one of the band's new tracks as "...fast. Like, Can't Slow Down fast" referring to the band's 1998 full length.

The band is currently touring with
Senses Fail. Opening all shows will be The Early November and Emanuel.
