Slow Coming Day was an emo quartet from Huntington Beach, CA, whose principals included Orion Walsh (vocals/guitar), Brad Smith (guitar), Dave Stoots (bass), and Jason Sheets (drums). "Slow Coming Day began in the spring of 2001 as a side-project to another band that I was in at the time. We recorded our first demo only four months after we formed. After many of these first songs were accepted onto various music compilations like the Emo Diaries, I saw that the band had potential and quit my other band to do Slow Coming Day full-time. We went back into the studio again in early 2002 to record two more tracks, which combined with the demo songs from before, became what is known as the "A Part of Me Died" EP. We released the EP independently in March of 2002 and sold all 1,500 copies that were pressed. Then in September of 2002, with a new drummer and bass player, we signed to Tooth & Nail Records, based out of Seattle, Washington. We then recorded our first full-length album entitled, "Farewell to the Familiar" in November of 2002 with producer Ed Rose and it was released in stores on April 22nd, 2003. After our first few tours in support of our album our drummer and bassist left the band to pursue other things. Despite member changes, Brad and I, the original and founding members of the band, will continue to play music and put out records no matter what the circumstance." - Orion Walsh
