When it comes to metal and "emo" music, I am not the biggest fan. This is mostly because I'm not too fond of screaming and screeching into a microphone but this band is a little more than that. A Day To Remember was formed in 2003 in Ocala, Florida mixing elements of heavy metal with alternative and "modern" rock creating a sub genre of rock affectionately referred to by their fans as "pop-mosh"...whatever that means. Because all of the bands' songs aren't full of obnoxious screaming and there is actually a melody to them, they have kinda grown on me. Vocalist: Jeremy McKinnon and guitarist(s): Neil Westfall and Tom Denney are very talented individuals, whose sound flows extremely well together really making quality music.

Even though some songs of theirs could be considered "screamo" a lot of their music is full of very pleasant singing and even some audible and comprehensible lyrics (shocking, I know). Some of these include: "Have Faith In Me," "Homesick," "If It Means a Lot To You," and "All I want."

I really like the original version but hey, why not? Here's a link to the acoustic version of "Homesick"
And once again an an acoustic version. (This is actually a really good version of the song; I highly recommend.
Overall A Day To Remember is a pretty outstanding band, unfortunately because they aren't played on "mainstream radio" they don't receive the proper respect they deserve from the majority of the public. RYIL: Papa Roach, The Devil Wears Prada, Four Year Strong
