Day & Nightdriving is the seventh studio album by American post-grunge band Seven Mary Three. It was released in 2008 on Bellum Records. The album's lead single was "Last Kiss".

Production

The album arose from acoustic jam sessions between guitarists Jason Ross and Thomas Juliano, leading to Day & Nightdriving's country-rock sound.

Critical reception

The Courier-Journal wrote that "the album turns slightly with the Wilco-esque 'Dreaming Against Me', which invites the listener to sing out loud, while 'Hammer & a Stone', with its acoustic guitar set against piano, is simply beautiful." Goldmine called the album "one of the most pleasant surprises of 2008," writing that the band "has tapped into a rootsy side previously only hinted at."
