Louisville, United States (1995 – present)

Days of the New is an alternative rock band from Louisville, Kentucky, formed in 1995. The band consists of vocalist/guitarist Travis Meeks and a variety of supporting musicians. They are best known for the hit singles “Touch, Peel and Stand” and “Shelf in the Room,” both from their self-titled debut album.

Early years

Days of the New began as an experimental rock/metal trio called Dead Reckoning, with Meeks, Matt Taul, and Jesse Vest. When they turned to an acoustic sound, they changed the name of the band, as well as added guitarist Todd Whitener.

A demo version of the song “Freak” appeared on the Harvest Showcase Volume 3, a compilation of Louisville area artists. This recording features a solo performance by Travis Meeks but is credited to Days of the New. Jesse Vest and Matt Taul are listed as band members in the liner notes; although, they do not appear on this recording.

Producer Scott Litt signed the band after their third live show.

1996-1998

The band recorded their debut album in October and November 1996. The first Days of the New release, an eponymous album frequently called “Orange” or “Yellow” after the color of the disc and liner notes, was released in 1997, selling 1.5 million copies worldwide. Three songs from this album were hits: “Touch, Peel and Stand,” “The Down Town,” and “Shelf in the Room.” The former was #1 on Billboard’s Rock Chart for 17 weeks; “The Down Town” and “Shelf in the Room” were each top 40 hits.
