History

Formation, debut album and tour (2012–2014)

Dayshell came to prominence after Shayley Bourget's departure from metalcore band Of Mice & Men in 2012.[1] Dayshell was initially a side project started with Bourget & Martinez in the beginning of 2012. On March 10, 2012, the two released a demo version of the song "Share With Me." Fans of Bourget reacted with great positivity to the song and what it meant to them. The launch of the demo created a tiny whirlwind of steam for the two. Before the group had a full line up, Martinez was contacted by phone by Sumerian Records. Former ex band member of Covette, Jordan Wooley, Bass, had joined the duo Summer 2012. The band released a video titled 'The Beginning'[2] discussing how the band first formed.

The band signed to the label

Crown The Empire, Get Scared and Palisades.[7]

Line-up changes, label and Nexus (2015–2018)

The band announced the departures of Shippy in February 2015

Slaves, A Lot Like Birds and Strawberry Girls
in November and December 2015.

On July 5, 2016, the band left Sumerian Records

Nexus,[12] which was released on October 7, 2016. This news was followed by the first single from the album, "Carsick",[13] along with the announcement that Zack Baker was the new drummer replacing Martinez.[citation needed] The band released the second single from the album, "Low Light", on August 12, 2016.[14]

Mr Pain (2018–present)

Zack Baker left the band in 2018, and went on to tour with the post-hardcore outfit

Slaves before becoming a permanent member of the band. Tyler Shippy came back to the band, and pursued the role of bass. Three new singles “FeelFly”, “H8WAVE” and an unofficial B-Side track "Recovering Flames" had been released as stand alone tracks.
