Southern California’s DAYSEEKER — Rory Rodriguez [vocals], Gino Sgambelluri [guitar], Ramone Valerio [bass], and Zac Mayfield [drums] — just wrapped an incredibly successful, sold-out headline tour of the U.S. last week, which included appearances at several festivals.

Dayseeker will return to the road for a new headline trek this fall and it’s big deal for both the band and fans. They will play the biggest venues of their career so far, while also hitting cities they’ve not performed in recently!

The “DAYSEEKER: DARK SUN PROTOCOL” tour will kick off September 27 in Dallas and run through November 2 in Los Angeles.

In other Dayseeker news, the band’s acoustic album Replica arrives physically on June 14. Pre-order it here.

The stripped down, intimate renditions of familiar fan favorites highlight the band’s songcraft and allow the listener to experience Dayseeker in an entirely new way. The collection also includes appearances from Holding Absence’s Lucas Woodland and indie artist Amber DeLaRosa.

Replica is the somewhat unexpected (yet welcomed) result of a specific gig in 2022, when the band’s gear overheated at Blue Ridge Rock Festival. Thinking on his feet, Rodriguez grabbed an acoustic guitar from the van, plugged in, and performed “Without Me.” Soon, he had pulled together a five-song set on the fly as thousands of fans flocked to the stage.

“I felt like we let people down, but I had so many friends say, ‘Everyone will remember the day your equipment stopped working and you still played the set as a really special moment’,'” he recalls. “It felt natural for our songs. We usually will do extra tracks for a Deluxe version or re-release, but we decided to commit to an entire acoustic album this time.”

Southern California’s DAYSEEKER — Rory Rodriguez [vocals], Gino Sgambelluri [guitar], Ramone Valerio [bass], and Zac Mayfield [drums] — recently announced their forthcoming acoustic album Replica, which arrives digitally on April 19 and physically on June 14 via Spinefarm. Pre-save it here.

Today, the band has shared the video for their unexpected and enchanting cover of “My Immortal” by Evanescence. Watch it here.

“‘My Immortal’ is a song I’ve loved dearly since I first heard it in high school,” says Rodriguez. “I truly always wanted to cover it but the timing didn’t feel right until we started this album. It’s easily my favorite cover we’ve ever done.”

Commenting on the album itself, Rodriguez says, “Replica is one of our favorite releases to date. It completely shows a new side to our band and the kind of music we’re capable of creating.”

To accompany the news, the band has shared the visualizer for “Burial Plot” (Feat. Caleb Shomo of Beartooth). Listen and watch here.

This gorgeous version’s heft comes from the restraint, refined instrumentation and the high impact vocal interplay.

“‘Burial Plot (Acoustic)’ is our third rendition that’s officially been released so we knew we had to make it special and interesting for our fans,” says Rodriguez. “Caleb Shomo absolutely helped transform this song and it’s one of our favorites.”

Commenting on the album itself, Rodriguez says, “Replica is one of our favorite releases to date. It completely shows a new side to our band and the kind of music we’re capable of creating.”

Southern California’s DAYSEEKER will embark on a headline tour this September. The tour kicks off September 1 in Lubbock, Texas, and runs through September 24 in the band’s native Southern California. Silent Planet and Moxy the Band will support. All dates are below, including festival appearances at Rocklahoma and Blue Ridge Rock Fest.

Tickets on sale now. Get them here.

Additionally, vinyl reissues of the band’s latest albums Sleeptalk and Dark Sun are available for pre-order here.

Dayseeker are a quiet killer. The band has steadily built a buzz over the past several years — and they have reached a tipping point. Dayseeker built themselves into a scene standout with 2019’s Sleeptalk, which was hailed by Alternative Press as “a warm and welcome release to higher ground” and as “much needed fresh air into the post-hardcore scene.” The album has gone on to accumulate over XX million streams, and it positioned the band as a formidable force — and one that is primed to take its next big leap. In 2021, the band dropped a deluxe version of Sleeptalk, featuring four reimagined versions of album tracks, which offered fans a fresh and unique take on songs they already love. It also demonstrated the depth and breadth of the band’s creative vision, scope, and possibilities. However, Dark Sun catapulted the band beyond the scene’s stratosphere. The album is out now via Spinefarm.

LISTEN TO DAYSEEKER: “Dreamstate” – “Neon Grave” – “Without Me” – “Crying While You’re Dancing“

Southern California’s DAYSEEKER dropped their new album Dark Sun last fall via Spinefarm. Get the record, which has been streamed 75 million times since release, here.

The band has shared the video for the gorgeously emotive single “Homesick.” Watch it here.

The deceptively simple video finds the band in performance mode in an expansive space that can barely contain the emotional heft of the lyrics or the melodic power of the song’s instrumentation.

“‘Homesick’ is Dayseeker’s honest attempt at writing something happier,” says singer Rory Rodriguez. “After my father’s passing, I was in a rut for a while and there was just this one person that made me feel like it was okay to smile and breathe through one of the darkest periods of my life. Someone that feels like home.”

Dayseeker remain on the road in support of Dark Sun, with shows selling out in the UK, U.S., Australia, and beyond.

“The UK holds a very special place in our hearts,” the band says. “We haven’t played there as a full band in 8+ years, so seeing that the entire tour is on the verge of selling out is a warm welcome back for Dayseeker.”

Southern California’s DAYSEEKER will drop their new album Dark Sun on November 4. Pre-order it here.

Today, the band has shared the video for the latest single “Crying While You’re Dancing,” which drills down on the album’s incredibly personal concept. Watch it here.

“‘Crying While You’re Dancing’ is about those people you know who pretend to have the time of their lives while it’s clear to everyone around them that they’re spiraling,” says singer Rory Rodriguez.

As mentioned, Dark Sun is incredibly contemplative. “Dark Sun is a collection of songs that deeply explored my personal life over the last two years,” Rodriguez previously shared. “Most of it is written about my father’s passing, about how it felt like the sun burned out the day he passed, and how the world is a little darker without him in it.”
