Days of the New is an American rock band from Charlestown, Indiana, formed in 1995. Known for their acoustic-driven post-grunge sound, the band was founded and led by Travis Meeks (vocals, guitar), supported over the years by a rotating lineup of musicians. Their music blends alternative rock with folk and classical influences, earning them both commercial success and a dedicated fanbase.
Days of the New rose to prominence with their self-titled debut album in 1997, which went platinum and featured breakout singles like Touch, Peel and Stand, The Down Town, and Shelf in the Room. These tracks became staples of 1990s alternative rock radio, showcasing Meeks’ distinctive voice and songwriting. Later releases included fan-favorites such as Weapon and the Wound, Hang On to This, and Die Born, cementing the band’s reputation for emotive, acoustic-heavy rock.
Although the lineup of supporting musicians has changed over time, Travis Meeks has remained the creative driving force behind Days of the New, shaping their sound with a unique mix of introspection, melody, and raw energy. The band’s discography continues to be celebrated for its authenticity and influence within the post-grunge and acoustic rock scenes.
