Burden of a Day was a post-hardcore group originating from Sarasota, Florida, established in January 2000. They were signed to Rise Records and drew inspiration from acts such as Thrice, The Bled, and All That Remains. The band concluded their live performances with a final concert in Sarasota on March 6, 2010. Initially formed as a worship ensemble, they later expanded their musical mission to reach a wider audience.
Several former members continue to pursue music, now creating new material under the name Colours, which showcases an evolved sound. Colours has shared three tracks on YouTube: "The Illusionist," "The Machine," and "The Passenger."
History
Burden of a Day began their journey in 2000 and secured a deal with the independent label Blood & Ink Records in 2005, releasing their first full-length album in 2006. Following extensive touring, they signed with Rise Records and launched Blessed Be Our Ever After in 2008.
The band’s style has been likened to that of Underoath, As I Lay Dying, and A Skylit Drive. Their 2009 release, Oneonethousand, achieved the position of No. 25 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart and reached No. 21 on the Heatseekers chart.
