Posted by Peter Lockhart on

While at the Orlando stop of their tour with Motion City Soundtrack, The Spill Canvas hit a stroke of bad luck; some immoral people broke into their trailer and stole all of their equipment.

Posted by Casey Cole on

The Creation of SS-001Songs by Saves the Day - Can’t Lay Down Can’t Lay Down was the accidental start of Sparrow Sleeps.Sparrow Lucille wasn’t even two weeks old when I had the idea of creating lullabies of my own to use. I had recently been on a Stay What You Are kick, so I sat down at my keyboard and composed soft renditions of three Saves the Day songs; “At Your Funeral,” “Freakish,” and “Three Miles Down.” When I felt that the songs were complete, I uploaded them to Bandcamp as an EP called Can’t Lay Down; an obvious homage...
