In the past decade, emo-pop, metalcore, and pop-punk have found huge mainstream audiences, which were by and large, separate audiences. Florida's A Day to Remember changed that. They smashed all the lines that distinguished these genres, switching between them at will, almost to the point of creating their own unique formula: Metalcore verses, pop-punk choruses, emo-pop sprinkled throughout. No one was doing this in 2003 when they started. Now, their songs don't sound all that unusual, a sign of the influence they've had on newer, young bands. - Aaron Carnes

Hard-touring Florida rockers A Day to Remember carved out their niche more than a decade ago by fusing metalcore verses with pop-punk choruses. They toured relentlessly before releasing their debut album, 2005's "And Their Name Was Treason," on a small indie label. On the heels of that album's success, the band landed a deal with a major indie label and released three albums over the next four years. A dispute with the new label led made the band take a more DIY approach in 2013, self-issuing a new album titled Common Courtesy. A Day to Remember's current lineup -- which has been in place since 2009 -- includes Jeremy McKinnon (vocals), Neil Westfall (rhythm guitar), Josh Woodard (bass), Kevin Skaff (lead guitar), and Alex Shelnutt (drums). The five-piece group is known for pulling out all the stops in concert -- the over-the-top set-design on their 2013 looked like a two-story suburban house -- delivering plenty of pyrotechnics and energy for the fans who buy tickets.
