The foundation of Ocala, FL's A Day To Remember was built on a drive to reinvent a genre that was desperately seeking creativity. The music and lyrics performed by vocalist Jeremy McKinnion, guitarists Neil Westfall and Kevin Skaff, bassist Joshua Woodard and drummer Alex Shelnutt are based off true, deep-seeded emotion. ADTR masks over the genres, with a wingspan stretching from the pop-punk genre to metal core, without settling on one single interpretation.

2009's Homesick is A Day To Remember's third release for Victory Records following For Those Who Have Heart (2007) and Old Record (2008). Two short years after their label debut, A Day To Remember had exploded from a small band with a dedicated fan-base in Florida into a worldwide phenomenon thanks to their insane live shows and definitive pop-hardcore sound. Co-produced with Chad Gilbert (New Found Glory), the 12-song set is highlighted by the breakout singles "I'm Made of Wax, Larry , What Are You Made Of?" and "Have Faith in Me" plus guest vocal spots from Mike Hranica (The Devil Wears Prada), Vincent Bennett (The Acacia Strain) and Sierra Kusterbeck (VersaEmerge).
