Day of Less

Day of Less were a band from Salt Lake City, active from around 2001 to 2006. The band released their first LP, Ad Hoc, in 2002, and on it their sound is a cross between midwest emo, emo pop, and hardcore. Given the time period, I should clarify that this mixture does not actually make them sound like the early 'mall emo' bands that were using roughly the same formula. Day of Less are pulling from the 90s, and what makes them stand out is just how much midwest emo they employ, to the point I'd say that Ad Hoc is mostly a midwest emo-pop album, similar something like Christiansen or #1 Defender. Prior to the album, the band released a split with The Great Anti-Listen called snapshot in time that features the same sort of sound.

Three years later the band would put out their second album, Porcaria, in which they left behind their emo influences in favor of the hardcore. This was the band's last release.
