History

Formation and debut album What It Means to Be Defeated

Dayseeker was formed in 2012 by vocalist Rory Rodriguez, guitarists Alex Polk and Gino Sgambelluri, bassist Andrew Sharp and drummer Mike Karle in Orange near San Diego, California. Rory Rodriguez and Alex Polk were members in a band called Arms Like Yours before forming Dayseeker.

The band released a series of demos including the songs "What It Means to Be Defeated", "Collision.Survive" and "Resurrect", which were released on their debut record as well as two untitled songs.[1] On July 7, 2013, the band was signed to inVogue Records, which released their debut album What It Means to Be Defeated on October 29, 2013.[2][3] It featured work by Joey Sturgis, who mastered the record.[4] On November 24, 2014 the album was re-released.[5] Tom Denney, a former guitarist of A Day to Remember was involved in producing the re-released version of the album. The re-issue features three acoustic tracks.[6]

In November and December 2013 the band toured the United States on a three-week tour alongside Kingdom of Giants.[7] In April and May 2014 the band was part of the Artery Across the Nation Tour, which featured Upon This Dawning and The Browning in the line-up.[8]

Origin

In January 2015 the band announced they were to begin recording the follow-up to their debut album What It Means to Be Defeated with producer Nick Ingram, who had worked with Hotel Books and Before Their Eyes in the past.[9][10] On March 9, 2015, it was announced that the album was entitled Origin and would be released on April 21, 2015. The same day the same-titled lead single as well as the pre-orders were announced, the band released a cover of Nick Jonas' song "Jealous".[10][11]
