One Day Savior Recordings (also known as One Day Savior Record Company or One Day Savior Records, and stylized as OneDaySavior) was founded by Skycamefalling vocalist Christopher Tzompanakis in 1997.[2] Tzompanakis was shopping around for a new record label for his band when, after hearing negative feedback from his friends' bands about local record labels, decided to start up his own.[2] However, Tzompanakis made it a point not to affiliate his record label with his band and treated them as separate businesses.[2]
Acquisition
On July 31, 2010, after 26 months of inactivity, One Day Savior Recordings' website announced that it was under the new ownership of Tommy Melissen and had relocated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[5] Some of the bands signed to One Day Savior Recordings by Melissen include Animalhaüs, American Hell, Holly Would..., Me Against Myself, The Jett Black Hearts Attacks and XPunisHerX.
