The Profile

American rock band led by Travis Meeks, noted for a 1997 acoustic-driven self-titled debut (often called the 'Orange' album) and singles such as 'Touch, Peel and Stand' and 'Shelf in the Room'.

The band released three self-titled albums commonly referred to by their cover colors (Orange, Green, Red). The original lineup's collaboration lasted primarily for the first album; later albums involved different lineups. The debut album and several songs are repeatedly praised in the provided reviews.

Two reviews on DeBaser celebrate Days of the New's self-titled 1997 debut for its acoustic guitar work and Travis Meeks' distinctive voice. Reviewers single out songs such as 'Touch, Peel and Stand', 'Shelf in the Room', and 'Solitude'. Live performances and the band's later, less-noticed albums are also mentioned.

Notable Quotes

❝ Strange, even shameful how this band has vanished from the American acoustic rock scene... arriving in 1997 with this first master/work.

❝ I want to emphasize once again that the voice and acoustic guitar were a union of great intensity and challenging expression, and therefore the whole is perfect and rare.
