After talking about forming a band for years, members of Long Island's Daytrader finally started writing together during 2010; they brought a sound to the punk scene that hearkened back to late-'90s/early-2000s emo. Daytrader didn't waste much time once they began, and within a few months, they had released a three-song demo and played shows with like-minded acts the Wonder Years, Such Gold, and Fireworks. The band signed with Run for Cover Records, and released their debut EP, Last Days of Rome, in 2011. Touring followed, with the group supporting the record alongside Transit and Into It. Over It. By fall, Daytrader had joined the Rise roster and recorded their next album. Twelve Years appeared in 2012. ~ Corey Apar
