Hailing from Louisville, KY, via Charlestown, IN, Days of the New is a teenage alt-rock quartet that slams out heavy, post-grunge ock with the force of a group twice its age. Frontman Travis Meeks was only 17 at the time the group recorded its eponymous debut, but his songs aren't light, naďve things -- they are laden with heavy meanings and throttling chords. Occasionally, Meeks reaches too hard -- every so often, his vocals and lyrics strain to hit their mark -- but he shows promise, and he's backed with a band that can hammer away such slight flaws. Days of the New isn't a perfect album, but its best moments prove that teenagers can rock as hard, and with as much purpose, as adults.
Fellow MOGger, Terry Staunton made me remember some other things about music, when I was a kid. There were some songs, at the time, that scared the crap out of me. It was the way the songs sounded that used to creeped me out, along with some visuals, that didn't help in any way. I was about 5....maybe 6 and I was living in Florida at the time.I have a short list:Whole lotta love - Led Zeppel...
