}}The Days were a British pop band, formed in 2005, originating from Ivybridge, Devon, UK.[1]

History

Formed in 2005, the band's lineup was brothers Luke (vocals, piano) & Dan Simpkins (bass guitar), and Harry Meads (drums).[2] After the members went to university in London and built up a fan base, and were joined in 2007 by guitarist Tim Ayers.[2][3] All the members had attended the same school.[4] After gaining interest from several record companies they were signed by Atlantic Records.[2]

In November 2007, they released an EP, Evil Girls. This was followed by singles "No Ties" and "Never Give Up".[5] "No Ties" peaked at number 91 on the UK Singles Chart.[5]

They toured as a support act for Paolo Nutini, The Fray, Supergrass, Elliott Minor, and Scouting for Girls, and headlined their own UK tour in 2009.[2][3][6][5][7] In the same year, they visited Droitwich Spa High School.

They recorded an album in 2008 at Grouse Lodge with producers John Cornfield and Youth, but it was not released.[3][4]

On November 16, 2009, they announced that Ayers had left the band but that they would continue as a three-piece band.

The band cited The Beatles, The Eagles, and Ben Folds as influences.[3][4]
