new years day formed in late 2005, after bassist adam lohrbach left the band home grown. lohrbach carried over the many emotional elements present in home grown's final 2004 ep "when it all comes down" and cultivated it into new material for new years day. meeting with lead vocalist ashley "ash" costello and guitarist/keyboardist keith drover, the three friends wrote and rehearsed songs about their difficult and emotional relationship break-ups. soon after, the group produced a two-song demo and invited a mutual friend of the group, eric seilo, to play bass during their 2005 tours. ultimately, seilo left new years day at the end of 2005 to pursue higher education. after acquiring former wakefield guitarist mike schoolden and drummer russell dixon, the group decided to call themselves new years day. the name was chosen in 2005 as a symbol of the fresh start they all hoped and desired for as a band.
