The Day Life can be described in three words, "smart rock explosion." The trio has recorded multiple releases and has played alongside indie rock superstars such as Ben Kweller, Free Energy and Matt Nathanson. The band is comprised of childhood friends Alex Markovitz and Jason Oller, along with Sabian and C and C sponsored drummer Carl Bahner. The Day Life has toured up and down the east coast playing marquee venues such as The Middle East in Boston, The Stone Pony in Asbury Park and The Living Room in New York City. The band has recently finished their newest EP produced by Grammy Award winner Scot Sax and recorded in Larry Gold's Studio in Philadelphia. The Day Life was formed in the summer of 2010 when Alex and Jason reunited for the first time since Alex's departure from Babson College. The two songwriters spent years working as solo song writers, but decided to put their talents together in a collaborative effort. Born and raised to blocks away from each other, the two artists have an unspoken bond that is portrayed through their seamless composition. Writing songs on topics dealing with existential conflicts, living in a small town and unrequited love are only small examples of their thematic writing style. The missing ingredient of the band came through a chance Craigslist ad which was posted to save rent by the now third member of the band Carl Bahner. Carl has been a professional drummer for over five years and upon hearing the music decided to become a permanent member instead of hired gun. The three quickly formed a strong bond and began collaboratively writing music and performing gigs up and down the east coast. The Day Life prides itself as being a blooming flower in a dying industry. The band has taken full advantage of the deconstruction of major labels by innovating their marketing and distribution models to cater to the new climate of the industry. Acting upon a project for a social entrepreneurship class, The Day Life has partnered with artists and local businesses to distribute their music digitally in an environmentally conscious way. Utilizing guerrilla marketing tactics, RFID codes and digital distribution the band has laid the foundation to an alternative means of distribution in an uncertain economic time for music. Accruing regional fan bases in their home town of Philadelphia and neighboring cities New York and Boston, The Day Life's future is looking brighter than ever.
