Artist Biography
Available in:

An expansive progressive metalcore band hailing from Orange County, California, Dayseeker make explosive anthems with a melodic, arena rock flair. Getting their start in the early 2010s, they released their official debut full-length What It Means to Be Defeated in 2013. Their sophomore effort Origin landed in 2015. Following both lineup and label changes, they issued their third set Dreaming Is Sinking/Waking Is Rising in 2017. Their sound continued to evolve with the hit album Sleeptalk (2019) and Dark Sun (2022).

Formed in Orange County in 2012, the group features the talents of former Arms Like Yours members vocalist Rory Rodriguez and guitarist Alex Polk, along with guitarist Gino Sgambelluri, bassist Andrew Sharp, and drummer Mike Karle. In 2013, they released an untitled EP and signed to InVogue Records. The full-length album What It Means to Be Defeated followed that same year. In 2015, Dayseeker released their sophomore full-length album, Origin, which featured production from Nick Ingram (Huntington, For Today, Hotel Books) and marked their first showing on the U.S. Heatseekers chart.

2016 proved to be a somewhat tumultuous year for the band with the departure of both Polk and Sharp, as well as a switch from InVogue to Spinefarm Records. Former At the Skylines member Shawn Yates came aboard as the new guitarist and the group completed work on their third LP, Dreaming Is Sinking/Waking Is Rising, which saw release in July 2017. Two years later, the band returned with album number four, the sonically diverse and melody-driven Sleeptalk. The set proved to be a hit, rising to number three on the U.S. Heatseekers chart and spawning a special deluxe release in 2021 that included "reimagined" versions of album tracks.

The band's fifth effort, Dark Sun, arrived in late 2022. Influenced by major changes in Rodriguez's life the previous year, the grief-stricken, cathartic album featured the hit track "Neon Grave."
