We're joined his week to by Chris Conley, the founder, vocalist, and songwriter of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/savestheday/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Saves The Day</a> for a comprehensive, career retrospective conversation… Featuring special guest co-host, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/brittydrake/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Dr. Britty Drake</a> of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pitysexband/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Pity Sex</a>. In this true 3.5 hour epic, we start from the beginning and deep deep into Chris and STD’s entire history… From discovering punk through free tickets to a Rancid show, instinctively writing music the second he touched a guitar, Sefler’s humble origin and demo quickly evolving into Saves The Day, working with Steve Evetts and Equal Vision records, Lifetime’s influence on the early days and Can’t Slow Down, dropping out of school to tour on Through Being Cool, taking a leap into the mainstream with Stay What You Are, the harsh reality check of In Reverie, all the way up to feeling “resurrected” by his family in 2026 and finding new ways to handle his lifelong battle with depression. A true feast of information for any fan of the band, Chris, hardcore, punk, emo or beyond… Thank you to Chris and Britty for joining us.___________ HardLore: A Knotfest Series, fueled by Monster Energy.
