Yeah, those guys! Billboard reports say the band will release an album next year with Hold Fast going to radio before 2010 arrives. Touch, Peel, & Stand broke the record for most weeks at #1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. Then they virtually disappeared after that album squeaked out another #1 single. Now 13 some years later, I hope they can catch some more magic. I liked their big hit.

They had more than one big hit. I personally didn't really get into TP&S much but do acknowledge now its a decent song. I remember them(him) for "Enemy" more than anything.

I mentioned they had a second #1. But I don't remember the title. Enemy doesn't ring a bell either. These guys seemed like another Hootie & The Blowfish or rock from that same era. One smash album then obscurity.

The Down Town had 10 weeks. They also had a number three off the same album with Shelf in the Room. The second album charted two top 10's including Enemy.
listen to it, i'm sure you'll remember

Days Of The New will probably be even more remembered for giving the world Tantric. After all, after their first album, Travis Meeks fired the rest of the band and they formed Tantric with Hugo. Great business decision on his part.

What about Travis' apparent episode of Intervention? Couldn't that arguably be the most memorable thing about DOTN?

Well considering Day Of The New had the biggest #1 rock song ever and followed with another, I'm not sure Tantric can be considered up there with them yet.

Biggest #1 rock song ever at the time of its existence as a current. And it didn't last long, "Higher" by Creed quickly took care of that record

Although it should be noted that Tantric has been around six years less than DOTN and has already released more material. And while "Breakdown" was not #1 as long as "Touch, Peel, And Stand" was for DOTN, they have had as a collective whole more singles chart than DOTN and are still fairly active and relevant, whereas DOTN hasn't put an album out for almost ten years. |

I agree on the more material part.
