Days of the New - Definition and Overview

Days of the New is a grunge rock band from Charlestown, Indiana (later relocated to Louisville, Kentucky), formed in 1995. The band was one of the first bands to be signed to Outpost Records.

The group's self-titled first album had two hit singles, "Touch, Peel and Stand" and "The Down Town". Not long after releasing the album, they went on tour with Metallica in 1998. Shortly after touring, vocalist Travis Meeks fired the rest of the band members but continued the band as a solo project. Later albums met with little commercial success but showcased a remarkably eclectic and progressive style of songwriting.

The three "fired" members of Days of the New went on to form the band "Tantric" with lead singer Hugo Ferreira and have seen some success with songs like "Breakdown," "Astounded," and "Mourning."
