Saves the Day is an American emo band from Princeton, New Jersey, formed in 1994. The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Chris Conley, guitarist Arun Bali, bassist Rodrigo Palma, and drummer Dennis Wilson.

After forming under the name Sefler in 1994, Saves the Day released their debut studio album, Can't Slow Down, in 1998. It was followed by Through Being Cool (1999), which featured their first single, "Shoulder to the Wheel". Stay What You Are was released in 2001, peaking at number 100 on the Billboard 200. It spawned two successful music videos on MTV2, for the singles "At Your Funeral" and "Freakish", and has since sold 300,000 copies. After the success of Stay What You Are, Saves the Day signed to Dreamworks Records, who co-released their next studio album, In Reverie, with Vagrant Records. The album peaked at number 27 on the Billboard 200 and number 4 on the Independent Albums chart. Their latest, self-titled LP was released in 2013.

Saves the Day originally performed in the New Jersey area under the name Sefler as a four-piece band with Chris Conley on bass guitar and vocals. The band changed their name in late 1997. Of the original lineup, only Conley remains today. The band has gone through numerous lineup changes over the years and has only recorded two consecutive albums with the same lineup (Through Being Cool and Stay What You Are), with Conley as the only permanent fixture.

The band's first proper release, Can't Slow Down, was recorded and released through Equal Vision Records in 1998 while the members were still in high school.
