A DAY TO REMEMBER + PERIPHERY

A DAY TO REMEMBER

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 Chart including their most recent release, A Day To Remember’s Big Ole Album Vol. 1, which arrived earlier this year.

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.

PERIPHERY

Washington, D.C.’s Periphery push at the boundaries of progressive metal, utilizing detuned, extended-range instruments to create a sound that’s as technically dizzying as it is relentlessly heavy. Using a framework laid down by djent pioneers like  and running wild with it, the group issued an eponymous debut in 2010.

Periphery hit their stride with the double-LP Juggernaut (2015) and the diverse Periphery III: Select Difficulty (2016), the latter of which earned them a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance. The band elicited accolades on subsequent efforts, Periphery IV: Hail Stan (2019) and Periphery V: Djent Is Not a Genre (2023), for their commitment to innovation and experimentation.
