They have performed with Jason Mraz, The Pixies, Plain White T's, Jonas Brothers, Paramore, Papa Roach, Cypress Hill, Green Day, Phantom Planet, The Misfits, Blue October, Breaking Benjamin, and more recently with Army of Anyone and Sick Puppies.

Dropping Daylight began when the original members (Sebastian Davin, Rob Burke and Jacob "Jake" Englund) were in junior high under the name "Associated Mess".

Jake had the vision and worked with local officials in their hometown to start a youth center featuring live music—giving roots to The Garage.

Liking the sound of it they called former Associated Mess member, bassist, Rob Burke who was looking through a dictionary and found the band name "Sui Generis."

Promoter Rich Best of Live Nation combined with Producer Chris Grainger, and Jon Delange played key roles in getting the self titled Sui Generis Record into the hands of Music Business Attorney Charles J. Biederman and Vice President of A&R for Epic Records and Sony Music, Pete Giberga.

The band has also spread the word of a possible live release from their concert at Wilkes-Barre's Wachovia Arena and Kingston's Joe Nardone's Gallery of Sound.
