[edit] Objectivity

I've added an npov (Neutral Point of View) tag to this entry as I believe some of the content carries a biased and opinionated tone. Rmpacheco

I'm going to work on editing this. If there's anything you guys think needs immediate correction, do tell. Bittersky 19:58, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Drugs

What possible evidence is there that members of the band use drugs? Shouldn't Wikipedia deal in facts and not repeat rumors?

Agreed, this article seems to have quite alot of opinionation and speculation. --CalPaterson 11:57, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

I agree with the two above commenters. Whoever wrote that line about drug use needs to cite an interview or other credible source.

Listen to In Reverie and tell me they weren't high on something...

[edit] Incorrect Band Members

Mr. Humperdinkle is not the bass guitarist for Saves the Day. Blacky McCry Gaylord never played guitar in the Band.

Chris Zampella, who left due to his obsession with girls

[edit] Sound the Alarm & Vagrant

I updated this page with the news about their re-signing to Vagrant and the release date for Sound The Alarm. If anyone feels the need to tidy my edits up, please feel free.

[edit] Picture

I uploaded a promo pic from Vagrant's website (http://www.vagrant.com/vagrant/bands/bands.jsp?rec_num=18&release_id=130) to replace the old one, which was old and didn't include some of the band's current line-up.AHMYBRAIN 23:38, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Emo?

I wouldnt classify STD as emo. They are more Post-Hardcore/post-punk, Indie Rock. But their releses from this decade signify a turn to more pop-punk than post-hardcore. I think that the emo tag should be removed. Iii9ix3 22:13, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


I concur.

I disagree. I have always classified them as an emo/indie/punk band.

I also disagree. Their image is emo, their overall sound is emo, their lyrics are emo, their music videos are emo, and their fans are emo. Why, then, are they not emo? Arkyopterix 20:20, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

They were emo back when the emo term described Dashboard, Sunny Day and The Promise Ring, before all these black haired twats took it over. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.151.94.181 (talk) 17:33, 6 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] trying to edit history

i tryed to edit the history and it came out all screwed up for some reason. i had to edit it because in truth, "im sorry im leaving" EP was released january 1st, 1998 which was BEFORE Can't Slow Down which was released August 17th, 1998. I tryed to edit it to make it say that im sorry im leaving came first and it came out all screwed up.

-but isil came out AFTER csd. fans really liked "three miles down" so chris conley made the ep.

[edit] Editing and Revisions

This whole article will require a serious review. There are numerous broken and poorly composed sentences, incorrect or inconsistent use of tense and other grammatical errors too numerous to mention.

"Using mid-1990s melodic hardcore groups, such as Lifetime, as their main influences, Saves the Day (Jersey's Second Best Dancers), along with the help of Chris Conley's lyrical writing ability, performed originally in the New Jersey hardcore scene under the original name of Sefler."

The above is a good example of the poor quality of this article, this quote is quite simply a run-on sentence.

I agree. The article is unsalvageable, but it's not in great shape. I don't have time at this moment, but perhaps I'll take a better look at it soon and try to make it a bit better. Of course, I encourage any and all editors to do the same. -- Kicking222 00:09, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
