Days of the New is the name, really great post-grunge music. Most famous for the songs "The Down Town" and "Touch, Peel and Stand", if that rings any bells....

If you haven't heard them/him, I really recommend it, very beautiful music.
Here's the myspace:

    I thought they split up and half of them went on to form Tantric???

    Yeah, they, or, he's still going strong, or something. Playing at small clubs and stuff, I think he's trying to come back after getting clean, I don't think it's going to be the same thing, but we'll see...

    Yeah, he/they sound at bit like Alice in Chains, and for me, and loads of other people, that may be a bit disturbing, but I like the music anyway, it's really good. Not as good as AiC, but still good.

    yeah the dude fired his whole band, they formed Tantric and he has done nothing. However, the 2nd S/T album is pretty decent, but you have to listen to it straight through

    i thought the lead singer pulled a Axl Rose and fired the band and kept the name. a couple of times

    OK, that explains it...or part of it.

    I assume it was the singer that fired the rest of the band? After he fired them did he get more musicians or was it like a solo thing still using the Days of the New name?

    That idiot was touring with the remaining members of the Doors for awhile. I hate all these grunge rip-off bands like STP, Creed, Days of the New. All of them suck!

    Days of the New's first 2 albums were good.Actually the second one was really good..Travis Meeks the lead singer just turned in to a total Dickwad and fired the whole band who went on to form Tantric which happens to be a pretty good band.. There new Album came out Apr. 22 and is their third..



    Rumour has it the Travis was in the running for the now defunct VR but when Scott was available the took him...Hey Travis looks like there's an opening...Now your competition is Sebastian Bach and who knows maybe even Chris Cornell....

    Exactly, AIC cover band. They are in competion with Godsmack as the most obvious AIC clone. That being said, I have the 1st cd and I like some of it.

    Stone Temple Pilots actually formed before grunge went into the mainstream.
    What the fuck is this world?

    Yeah, I can't hate on STP. Sometimes their 1st two cds sound generic, blaa to me, but I don't think they're ripping off the grunge bands. The 3rd album is an all time album for me.

    aye but they sure cashed in when the other bands started releasing stuff that was selling millions by imitating their sound. They found their own sound after the first couple of releases though I suppose.

    it seems to me their first album is the only one that sounds different

    probably due to the producer

    much like pearl jam's first album.

    Odd how that happens huh?
