Phelim and Donni met in Bristol around 1997. A love of good lyrics and music brought them together. They were signed after a short time by Virgin/Melancolik and released their critically acclaimed debut ORDINARY MAN in 2000, recorded in Bristol/London and mixed in L.A by Producer Mario Caldato jr. A heavy touring schedule followed with the guys taking in much of Europe. They then decamped to L.A. to work with Mario again in his home studio. On their return all was not well in "Record Company Land" so the guys left and ventured into the big wide world. Returning to normality enabled Phelim and Matthew to focus on writing quality songs for the right reasons. Their music has featured in many Film/Tv/Advertising campaigns including, Cruel Intentions,The Big Tease,Six feet under,Trigger happy tv. In 2007 the group found a new home with One Little Indian records, and their new album PROBABLY ART is now available.
I'm so happy I'm one of 7 people who love Day One, I thought I was the only one.

We saw them a few year ago on a festival it's was incredible So we decided to see them again with new album but the singer was in very bad mood and a very strange "atmosphere" were a little bit disapointed ... But if they come back in Brussels I ll will surely go to see them maybe it was just a bad day ?

I've been listening to Probably Art for a while now and it's great! My sis and I saw Day One in the Wolves Little Civic way back when, Phelim and Donni are really sweet guys. The acoustic version of Ordinary Man was beautiful! My favourite track will always be Autumn Rain.
