New Years Day Albums Ranked

New Years Day is an American rock band formed in Anaheim, California, in 2005. After building a reputation strictly through promotion on the social networking website MySpace, the band released its debut self-titled EP in 2006 and its first full-length album, My Dear, in 2007. Six years after their initial debut, Victim to Villain was finally released, followed by Malevolence in 2015. Malevolence peaked at No. 45 on the Billboard 200, the band’s highest-charting thus far. New Years Day formed in 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 (born 1985) 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. Here are all of the New Years Day albums ranked.

4. Victim To Villain (2013)

“This album is like a less punky, more alternative rock and friendly version of horror punk-pop bands like The Creepshow and Mad Marge And The Stonecutters.”

3. Unbreakable (2019)

“I admire that this band is itching for a more varied sound (the complete and total abolition of genre as a whole sounds like an amazing idea to me), but there’s been far greater examples of variety this year alone; hell, knock on Amo as much as you want, but even that has a lot more to offer in that regard than this, I feel like. This strikes me more like a discount In This Moment record than anything else, and that band isn’t exactly the cream of the crop.”

2. My Dear (2007)

“I wasn’t planning on liking this…girl fronted power pop/punk rock is usually not what I would consider my favorite type of music…but this cd is actually really good from beginning to end…It’s short and an easy listen. Just don’t let any of your friends know you like this.”

1. Malevolence (2015)

“New Years Day are a girl fronted pop rock band. They seem to have the same feel as paramore, but with more ‘darker’ lyrics. Such as ‘your love is my heart disease’. But dont be scared off by the slightly more revenge/ boys are idiots based pop, as the songs are catchy and is overall a pretty good album!”
