History


Haste the Day formed in 2001 in Carmel, Indiana. The name was discovered by Devin Chaulk who read it from the hymn "It Is Well with My Soul." The band originally started out as a three-piece including: Brennan Chaulk (guitar/vocals), Devin Chaulk (drums/vocals), and Mike Murphy (bass/vocals). Six months after forming, the band added longtime friend Jason Barnes to the group as a second guitarist. In 2002, the band recruited Jimmy Ryan as their lead vocalist who was member of the death metal band Upheaval from 1997 until 1999. According to Ryan, he met Barnes at a bible study and recognized him, which led to the invitation to join the band. In the summer of 2002, the band self-produced their first EP, That They May Know You with the song "Substance" acting as the lead single. A year later Haste the Day signed with Tooth & Nail Records subsidiary Solid State Records.
After signing to Solid State, Haste the Day went on to record their debut album, Burning Bridges which was released on March 9, 2004, in the band's old high school cafeteria at Carmel High School. The band made two music videos for the songs "The Closest Thing To Closure" and "American Love". After a year, Haste the Day released When Everything Falls. The album hit stores on June 28, 2005. A music video was made for the title track. The band toured heavily in support of this album and gained worldwide recognition.
In late 2005, Jimmy Ryan announced his decision to leave Haste the Day. Soon thereafter he got married, accepted a position at Tooth & Nail Records, and started a new band called Trenches. His last show with Haste the Day was in the band's hometown of Indianapolis on December 30, 2005, although he came on stage for a song during their show at the Napalm & Noise Tour on November 28, 2009, in Indianapolis and at their final show in Indianapolis on March 11, 2011.

The remaining members continued on for the European tour with The Juliana Theory, accompanied by Stephen Keech of Denver-based Christian metal band New Day Awakening. On February 23, 2006, Haste the Day stated in a press release that they had officially made Keech their new permanent singer.
Haste the Day released a DVD as part of the special edition of their third full-length album Pressure the Hinges. The DVD features all of the band's current music videos, live footage including Jimmy Ryan's last show, a show with Stephen Keech from The Truth Tour (w/ Bleeding Through, Between the Buried and Me, and Every Time I Die), and behind the scenes antics (such as prank OnStar calls). The DVD was produced by Full Lock Media.
After releasing Pressure the Hinges and finishing up the 12 Days of Christmas tour with Calico System, Heavy Heavy Low Low and Flee the Seen, the band began another tour with From Autumn to Ashes and Maylene and the Sons of Disaster.
The band spent the summer of 2007 on the Vans Warped Tour followed by a month on the road with Atreyu. Haste the Day finished off 2007 with a full national tour with As I Lay Dying before taking some time off for Christmas.

On July 17, 2008, the band announced that guitarist Jason Barnes was asked to step down from Haste the Day because he is no longer of the Christian faith. The band went on to state that they would not be replacing him, but would instead have Dave Krysl, a friend of the band, take on full-time touring guitar duties. On August 12, 2008, a new song entitled "68" was posted on their Myspace page.
From October to November 2008, Haste the Day performed on Norma Jean's "The Anti–Mother Tour". The tour also included several bands on Solid State Records such as The Showdown, Mychildren Mybride, Children 18:3, and Oh, Sleeper.
On October 14, 2008, Haste the Day's fourth studio album Dreamer was released on Solid State Records. The album, being the first to not feature Barnes, saw a lead guitar performance by former Scarlet and Spitfire guitarist Randy Vanderbilt. The band announced that the 12 Days of Christmas tour would mark the final shows that drummer Devin Chaulk would play with the band, as he felt that he was being called to depart. Chaulk explained in an interview that his decision weighed on him to leave to focus on his new marriage at the time and to avoid holding the band back. On December 20, 2008, the band played their last show with Devin Chaulk in Indianapolis. Giuseppe Capolupo, formerly of Demise of Eros and Once Nothing, took his place on drums soon after.

According to Keech, after he had joined the band, he, Murphy, and the band's manager Mark Lafay, made an agreement that if one of them were to leave, the band would cease. Lafay made the decision to leave the management industry, which led to the band disbanding out of respect for the agreement, as well as accepting that the band would have ended eventually. Lafay clarified the comment about his willingness to continue with the band until he could find a replacement manager, however, he stated he believed that the members were ready to move on with their life.
