Band History
New Years Day formed in
2005 after
bassist Adam Lohrbach left the band
Home Grown. Home Grown's final
EP,
2004's
When it All Comes Down, had diverged from the band's previous style of humorous
pop punk and incorporated many emotional elements that Lohrbach carried over into New Years Day. Meeting with
vocalist Ashley Costello and
guitarist/
keyboardist Keith Drover, the three began rehearsing songs that Costello and Lorhbach had written. These songs were heavily influenced by the members' shared emotional experiences, as Lohrbach and Costello had both recently been through difficult relationship break-ups. The group soon added guitarist Mike Schoolden (formerly of
Wakefield) and drummer Russell Dixon and took the name New Years Day.
The band began building a reputation through promotion and posting songs on the
MySpace social networking
website, and were featured on the
MySpace Records Volume 1 compilation
CD and in the soundtrack of the
video game Saints Row. After considering an offer from the
Pete Wentz-run
Decaydance Records label, the band signed to
TVT Records and released a debut
self-titled EP in
2006. Originally referred to as the
Razor EP, it was primarily a digital release made available through download services such as
iTunes, though CD copies were also available at the band's performances. They also performed at the
South by Southwest music festival that same year.
From 2006-
2007 New Years Day self-financed and self-produced their debut album
My Dear, recorded over an eight-month period at the home of producer Eugene Perreras. The album was released on
May 8,
2007 and includes collaborations with members of
Reel Big Fish and
Motion City Soundtrack. The band's debut
music video for the lead single "I Was Right" won an
MTVU "Freshman Face" poll and was added to the channel's playlist.
