"WHO THE F@#k' is SEIZED THE DAY?!"
JON BOX "BOXY" (BASS/VOCALS)
BRIAN DEE (GUITAR/VOCALS)
JON BURNS (DRUMS)
Strait out of 2011 and exploding into 2012, the future is looking bright for Chicago rockers SEIZED THE DAY. Members Brian Dee (19), Jon Burns (20), and Jon Box (19) have a musical adventure that they want YOU to be apart of! The band started in early 2011, only months after ex members of the now defunked INDECENT EXPOSURE took first place at the College of Dupage battle of the bands, signed to a independent record label, Released 3 EPs, and swept the roaring crowd of the ever so famous concert venue, the Metro, with their infamous party punk sound.
Seized The Day spent all of 2011 writing and recording a demo CD. This demo is called "THE PERFECT LIfE", which was once found on Itunes for $5.68. Long time friend of Belmont University (Nashville TN) Recording arts program, Dennis Voreyerr, helped produce and engineer the 2011 demo at a home studio. Though things fell short for the band, with constant line up changes and never having a permanent drummer. The band turned to former band mate Jon Burns to complete
the trio's infectious hard hitting sound.
CURRENT NEWS!
For the next couple of months SEIZED THE DAY will be practicing and getting ready to record their Debut EP with Corey Scott (Ex The Highlife).

Exploding out of 2012, the future is looking bright for Chicago rockers DRET 75. Members Brian Donnelly and Jonathan Box have a musical adventure that they want YOU to be a part of! The band started during the summer of 2009, only months after ex front men of the now defunked Sweet Dreams Autumn and The Obvious created house names in the Chicago Northwest Suburbs.
Combining forces, Brian and Jon went on and took first place in the 2010 College of Dupage battle of the bands, signed to a independent record label, Released 3 EPs, and swept roaring crowds supporting acts such as: Freshman 15, Lucky Boys Confusion, Just Left, The Alumni Club, Draft Week, The Scissors, A Kidnap In Color, The Highlife, and many more at famous Chicago land concert venues, The Metro, Congress Theatre, Penny Road Pub, and The Elbo Room to name a few with their infamous party punk sound.
Coming out of a Hardcore Punk side project, Seized the Day, Brian and Jon decided to give the world Pop-Punk once again as DRET 75!
Dret 75 Has made a 12 song mix tape entitled "HIGHSCHOOL" available at all shows.
