Through Being Cool
''Through Being Cool'' (stylized as ''"Through Being Cool"'') is the second studio album by American rock band Saves the Day, released on November 2, 1999 by Equal Vision. While touring in support of their debut album, ''Can't Slow Down'' (1998), the band had three different line-up changes. The songs on ''Through Being Cool'' were written while the band attended New York University. Moving from a melodic hardcore sound to a more pop punk sound, the album was recorded in 11 days. It was produced by Steve Evetts at Trax East, in South River, New Jersey. Drummer Bryan Newman said the recording sessions were "intense". The band dropped out of college to tour alongside Snapcase, New Found Glory, Hot Water Music and Face to Face, among others. A music video was made for the song "Shoulder to the Wheel", which the band later regretted. It was directed by Darren Doan.
Eventually selling 50,000 copies, the success of ''Through Being Cool'' helped Saves the Day get signed to Vagrant. It was named one of ''Alternative Press'' 10 most influential albums of 1999. To celebrate the album's 15th anniversary, the band played the album front-to-back on tour and Equal Vision repressed the album on vinyl. Vocalist Chris Conley considers it "the most important record that we did".
==Background==
Saves the Day formed in late 1997, their debut album, ''Can't Slow Down'', was released with Equal Vision in August 1998.〔 The album helped the band gain fans, but only in the New Jersey area.〔Greenwald 2003, p. 80〕 The band promoted the album with two tours, which helped the band expand their fan base. Initially, the group were heckled at each show they played, drummer Bryan Newman said the group was "totally out of place" among the other bands on the tour. Saves the Day had three different line-up changes while touring ''Can't Slow Down'', leaving vocalist Chris Conley and Newman as the only original members left.〔
Saves the Day's guitarist had left at the end of their first full tour of the U.S., resulting in guitarist Dave Soloway joining the band half way into the year.〔 Soloway came from a family who would sing folk songs.〔 The band met Soloway at high school, he used to drive the band to their gigs.〔 Guitarist Ted Alexander was the band's roadie, and hung around the band a lot that they eventually "just gave him a guitar".〔 Sean McGrath, bassist on the band's first album,〔 was kicked out of the band and replaced by Eben D'Amico.〔 The group would play gigs with local bands, one of which D'Amico was in.〔 Conley called him a "sick" bassist and decided to get in touch with him, asking if he would like to join Saves the Day.〔
