A DAY TO REMEMBER released their latest studio album, “You’re Welcome”in 2021. Largely produced by Colin “DOC” Brittain and the band’s own Jeremy McKinnon, the 14-track collection represented another major step forward for the acclaimed group. Highlighted by singles “Brick Wall”, “Degenerates”, “Resentment”, “Mindreader” and the #1 Active Rock single “Everything We Need”, A DAY TO REMEMBER incited critical praise with “You’re Welcome.” Stir declared, “[‘Brick Wall’] showcases the group’s signature mix of post-hardcore heaviness and pop-rock hooks,” while Consequence Of Sound declared, “the Florida rockers’ new LP will continue their wide-ranging sound that ranges from infectious pop-punk to crushing metalcore.” Forbes put it simply, “It seems A DAY TO REMEMBER are just getting started,” and Billboard praised the band’s “anthemic hybrid of post-hardcore and pop.” popdust avowed A DAY TO REMEMBER “have all but mastered their niche melding of pop melodies with hardcore music,” while Kerrang! attested, “‘You’re Welcome’ is the perfect soundtrack to this strange and uncertain world that we live in.”
In 2022 the band returned with the standalone single “Miracle”, accompanied by an emotionally charged music video. The band also reignited their “You’re Welcome” track “Re-Entry” with a new version featuring Mark Hoppus of BLINK-182.

Since their formation in 2003, A DAY TO REMEMBER quietly emerged as arguably the biggest underground band in the world. The Florida group affirmed this status by achieving one platinum album, two gold albums, one platinum single, and four gold singles. Not to mention, each full-length record ascended to #1 on the Billboard Rock, Indie, and/or Alternative charts with 2016’s “Bad Vibrations” bowing at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. They’ve put up unprecedented numbers for a rock act in the 21st century, generating nearly 2 billion streams worldwide and sales of three million-plus units. They’ve also packed arenas on continental tours and attracted a global audience consisting of millions.
