Seconds Separate the Days were a band out of Little Chute, Wisconsin, active from the late 90s to around the turn of the millennium. They play a more pop-oriented version of 90s midwest emo, largely devoid of twinkling passages or the quiet\loud dynamic inherited from emo, though these elements are not entirely absent; the band retains at least one of the rougher elements of emo in the occasional screaming, and overall remind me of Strictly Ballroom or maybe Edaline.
Most of the band's discography is available through the great MKE Punk archive. Their history is a bit confusing, though, because the information on their 1998 release Ups, Downs & Long Distances states that the band broke up in the process of recording it. That's odd considering my copy of the band's self-titled album clearly says that it was recorded in 1999. I suppose it's possible that the band got back together or experienced a line up change. Besides those two releases, the band also put out a split 7" with The Transpire Ton and contributed a track to the great Reveal the Character compilation, though those songs were taken from Ups, Downs & Long Distances.
