Saves The Day’s

frontman stopped by Going Off Track the night before a sold-out show and “secret” aftershow (see Chris singing along

with Jonah from the latter in this photo) to discuss his band’s evolution from a scrappy hardcore outfit to an indefinable rock act. Along the way we get deep into how Joseph Campbell, meditation and parenthood all shape his outlook on existence. If you’re looking for the meaning of life, don’t worry, we ask – and as you might imagine, Chris has got a pretty good answer.
