Much to the elation of their rampant fanbase, Saves The Day released a massive new single, entitled ‘Rendezvous’.

From the moment the thrashing guitars and droning percussion of the track’s intro kick in, it’s evident that Saves The Day are back with a vengeance. The open verses on ‘Rendezvous’ allow for the subtle twists in composition and Conley’s masterful command of melody to shine. Once they’re drawn in, the song’s massive hook reminds listeners exactly why Saves The Day have had such a profound influence on alternative rock over the past twenty years. You can listen to ‘Rendezvous’ now:

With the release of ‘Rendezvous’, we also receive news that the band will be releasing ’9′, their first new album in five years, on October 26th via Rude Records in partnership with Equal Vision Records. ’9′ will be Saves The Day’s ninth studio record and contains nine songs that, when listened to together, tells the story of the band from the perspective of it’s founder, Chris Conley. The album offers this first ever autobiographical look into the band’s history in a way that is as exhaustive as it is poetic and makes the listener a part of the songwriting process. On the surface, ’9′ chronicles the epic story of a group of kids from New Jersey who realized their dream and became an international sensation. On a deeper level, it shows how Conley “woke up” and became aware of his own consciousness through his relationship with music and the unbelievable adventures it has inspired since he formed the act in 1997.
