About
Daytrader is a pop punk and alternative emo band hailing from Long Island, New York. The group formed in 2010 and consists of seasoned musicians from the local scene, including Tym Barash (vocals), Gary Cioni (guitar), Mike Weiss (guitar), with Derrick Flanagan (drums) and Matt Mascarenas (bass) rounding out the lineup after some initial changes. Influenced by late-'90s and early-2000s emo bands like Further Seems Forever and Saves the Day, Daytrader quickly made a name for themselves with their emotionally charged music and energetic live performances.
How to Sound Like Daytrader
Daytrader’s sound is characterized by emotive, driving guitar riffs and dynamic, heartfelt vocal performances. Their music often features intertwined guitar lines, creating a rich tapestry of sound that balances melody and aggression. To emulate their style, focus on using overdriven tube amps for warmth and punch, coupled with analog delay pedals to add depth and texture to the guitar work. The rhythm section, with its punchy bass lines and powerful drumming, supports the emotional weight of the vocals and guitars, often using tight, punchy drum sounds to keep the energy high. The overall production is polished yet retains a raw edge, emphasizing clarity while capturing the intensity and sincerity at the core of Daytrader's music.
