Virginia

Likened to Coldplay for their falsetto vocals and big piano-led pop/rock, Virginia band Days Difference are comprised of brothers Jeremy (vocals, keyboard) and Jonathan Smith (drums) and brothers Jeremiah (guitar) and Micah Ricks (bass). The band started rehearsing in May 2004 after the Smith brothers caught the other pair at a show where their drummer and keyboardist were absent. Days Difference's first gig was in September 2004. By 2006, the four members dropped out of college and quit their day jobs to make the band their priority. Their debut record, Numbers, arrived in June 2007. ~ Kenyon Hopkin
