One Day Savior Recordings was an American independent record label founded in 1997 by Christopher Tzompanakis.

[3] [4] One Day Savior Recordings was originally headquartered in Williston Park, Long Island, New York, where it remained until it was put under hiatus in 2008. The company was eventually sold to Tommy Melissen in 2010, its operations relocating to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. [5] Under Melissen's ownership, the company lasted a brief two years and was officially put to rest in 2014 after two years of inactivity.

Background

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.

One Day Savior Fest

Tzompanakis organized a one-day festival named One Day Savior Fest which took place on October 19, 2002 at the Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers Union Local 7 in Farmingdale, New York. [7] The artists that performed included The Killing Tree, Boys Night Out, Tabula Rasa, Dearly Departed, Blood Red, Regarding I, In Dying Days, Kid Brother Collective and The Chase Theory. [8] [9]
