Burden of a Day was a Christian post-hardcore band from Sarasota, Florida, formed in January 2000. They were formally signed to Rise Records before their breakup. Some of their influences include the likes of Thrice, The Bled, All That Remains. They recently had their last show in Sarasota on March 6. Burden of a Day started as a worship band in church, until they were moved to reach out to people with their music.
Most of the members of Burden of a Day are still together, working on their new, untitled album. These members include Chris, Terry and Kyle. The upcoming album will be released under a new band name and with a fresh style of music.[1][2][3]
