Equal Vision Records and Saves the Day are excited to present "INVADER," the first original track in eight years from the celebrated emo/indie band. Featuring guest vocals from New York City hardcore icon Walter Schreifels (Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits, Rival Schools), "INVADER" presents itself as a spiritual successor to "Disengage" by 1980s hardcore crew Youth of Today that continues to evolve the spirit of hardcore music with its message of unity and transcendence.

“It was a dream to work on ‘INVADER’ together with our hero Walter Schreifels at his studio in Upstate New York, and we’re still pinching ourselves that he co-wrote this song with us,” Saves the Day’s Chris Conley says. “Bringing the song to life with Steve Evetts in Nashville and New Jersey was like coming home after a long stay away, and we couldn’t be more proud of the results.” Watch the music video for “INVADER,” directed by Sean Stout, on YouTube HERE. Stream the track on all platforms HERE. 

Additionally, Saves the Day will be making numerous appearances across the U.S. and UK this fall. Supporting Taking Back Sunday in the U.S. from September 16 through October 18, Saves the Day will also be making headline appearances celebrating the 25th anniversary of Stay What You Are from November 17–21 in the UK with special guests Chastity and Turn of Phrase.
