Ups & Downs: Early Recordings and B-Sides (Vagrant)
by Lauren Bussard

They’ve gone from pop punkers to a melodic hardcore band to indie rock trendsetters, and the musical path followed by Saves The Day – the good, the bad and the ugly – is all captured on Ups & Downs… The selections on this album include early recordings, songs that appeared on various comps, and even songs that have never seen the light of day until now. If you ever loved a Saves The Day album, you’ll love this too. It’s beautiful, sweet, sometimes loud, at times awkward, and altogether amazing.
