LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Earshot Media) Daytrader has been building an intense anticipation of their full-length album for more than a year now. Since releasing their EP 'Last Days Of Rome' in early 2011, they have built the buzz through the infectious tracks on the EP as well as their fantastic live show. The small amount of tracks on the EP left fans hungry for more and while it has taken time for a follow up, it wasn't without good reason. The band, featuring ex-members of Crime In Stereo, Latterman and Divider comprises the best the Long island scene has to offer, so naturally they entered the studios with the patron saint of producers- Mike Sapone (Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, The Early November)
Advance praise for Twelve Years:
"…masterfully balances cathartic restraint and melodic aggression. On the opening 'Dead Friends' front man Tym demands, "Don't you ever say 'We're destined to be great'" Advice heeded. Daytrader already are." (4 ½ stars)."- Alternative Press
"Twelve Years is as large a leap as you'll see a young band take from its first EP to its first LP in 2012. … a record that can and should become the soundtrack to many a young person's life in 2012. (9 out of 10)" - Absolutepunk
"Twelve Years retains many of the sonic elements that made bands like SAVES THE DAY and FUTHER SEEMS FOREVER so endearing. In fact, I would dare say that Twelve Years is so well done that the band has the potential to be mentioned with those greats one day if they can continue releasing albums like this. Each track has that patented heartfelt nature that is lacking from so much of today's punk scene. The album will be a surprise for many; Twelve Years has the potential to end up on quite a few year-end lists for fans of the legends of emo/punk."- Lexington
