Overview
Can't Slow Down is the debut album by American rock band Saves the Day, released on August 11, 1998, by Equal Vision Records. The band formed in late 1997.
Recording
The album was produced by Steve Evetts purely because Evetts had previously worked with Lifetime – a band vocalist Chris Conley loved. It was recorded during the winter break of Conley's senior year of high school, and released after the band graduated from high school. This album was the bass guitar player Sean McGrath's only recording with Saves the Day. (He is also responsible for changing the band's name from Sefler to Saves the Day.)
Unlike their later releases, this album has a melodic hardcore sound, sharing the same sound of other bands like 7 Seconds and Lifetime.
Release
Saves the Day went on their first full tour of U.S. with Bane. Can't Slow Down was released by Equal Vision Records on August 11, 1998. McGrath came up with the title of the album, taking it from the Lionel Richie album of the same name. The album sold 8,000 copies by the time Through Being Cool (1999) was released.
