This group would later become “Days of the New”, and the day after his high school graduation, Jesse Vest was on tour supporting the band’s debut album. The project turned out to be quite successful. Appearances on MTV, The Late Show with David Letterman, and opening shows for bands like Metallica and Aerosmith helped the band to become a platinum-selling artist in both the U.S. and Canada. Citing creative differences the band split up in 1998. Jesse moved on to co-found another band. Tantric, whose first album was released in 2001, enjoyed much of the same success.
