---------------------------------------------------------------------// notes
Initially conceived as a collaborative effort between bassist Gary Cioni
(ex-Crime In Stereo) and drummer Pat Schramm (Bridge And Tunnel,
ex-Latterman), Daytrader drip with enthusiasm for an era of punk not long
gone from the minds of these two dudes. When Crime In Stereo called it a day
last fall after releasing the incredibly ambitious I Was Trying To Describe
You To Someone, Daytrader were suddenly the focus of a lot of ôback to their
rootsö excitement from bummed-out fans. And, and it turns out, the focus paid
off. DaytraderÆs debut EP, Last Days Of Rome, alternates between songs that
sound like missing gems from Saves The DayÆs Through Being Cool and Further
Seems ForeverÆs The Moon Is Down, with vocalist Tym making his mark on the
bandÆs twisting song structure with an incredible range and passionate
delivery. While his vocal style is obviously gleaned from the School Of Two
Chrises (Conley and Carrabba), thereÆs no embarrassingly nasal delivery,
making for a unique set of songs that are forthright in acknowledging their
influences but donÆt attempt a carbon copy. Ultimately, Last Days Of Rome
sounds like five guys trying to recreate something pure, fast and enjoyable
from their youthùand totally succeeding.
