Biography
Sarasota, FL's Burden of a Day was formed in 2004 and, perhaps a little precociously, released a debut album, Pilots and Paper Planes, less than two years later through independent Blood & Ink, in the process, earning very mixed reviews for their middling, screamocore style with Christian tendencies. So the quintet carried on rehearsing and toured exhaustively over the next few years, honing their stage presence and material all the while; and by 2008, vocalist Kendall Knepp, sibling guitarists Josh and Mike Sommers, bassist Terry Clark, and drummer Jesse Histetler, were handed a new deal with Rise Records for the release of their slightly improved sophomore album, Blessed Be Our Ever After.
