Saves the Day to Work On New Album

Saves the Day is starting to make their 8th studio album and thier asking for the fans help. However, unlike most times a band raises money for a project, this time fans will be getting returns beyond getting to hear a new album. Amongst other things, people who pledge will get a free download of Saves the Day's new demo, "Ain't No Kind of Love," as well as the full album download before the album is released. On top of that, Saves the Day is working on creating other cool products and experiences beyond t-shirts and downloads. These could include anything form recording a cover for you to playing a show at your house.

After they hit their goal, the band will donate a portion of what they earn beyond that goal to Occupy Sandy (5% beyond the goal) and Doctors Without Borders (also 5% beyond the goal).

Saves the Day will be entering the studio in Feburary and hope to have the album out by the summer.

Check out the project here.

"Beginning in October we will be releasing 2 songs a month for 5 months. 10 songs in total from the Conventional Weapons sessions we did back in 2009. We hope you enjoy these time capsules, and that they may shed a little more light on how and where Danger Days came from, and maybe even where the future of MCR might be heading. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...and now it is finally time to lift the veil on Conventional Weapons."
