In a recent interview Chris Conley of Saves the Day discusses the current trilogy of STD albums including next year's Daybreak. He also discusses a sequel to the Bug Sessions EP in which they are recording every date of their current acoustic tour.
From the InterviewSound the Alarm is the expression of the darkest side of me that was lurking there for years and years and years, and didn’t come to the surface until the circumstances in my life weren’t propping me up anymore and I was let down. I didn’t have any support system or anything, and so I just hit rock bottom. Sound the Alarm deals with the darkness. Under the Boards explores the repercussions of my actions while I was such an angry and bitter person, and nearly destroyed every relationship and nearly pushed away my family and friends and band. And I almost lost everything until I was forced into therapy. In therapy I really dealt with the demons that were under the surface. I realized that I was to blame for all of my actions. Under the Boards is kind of acknowledging my accountability and saying that I ****ed shit up, and my life is in pieces because I’ve become such a bitter and depressed person. At the end of the album I’m left totally alone because I’ve chased everybody away. And I ask myself whether or not I’m going to carry on and figure out how to live my life in the right manner and make my own decisions, or if I’m going to stay underground, essentially dead. So I decide to pick up the pieces and try to make my life a healthy thing. Daybreak is the final chapter and that will be about trying to put all the pieces back together.
