After the EP's release, Day relocated to London, England to record Australia's follow up, which was provisionally titled From a Northern Sky.[9][unreliable source?] The album, which would eventually become Stop All The World Now, was recorded in London's famous Olympic Studios with Martin "Youth" Glover, the bassist for British band Killing Joke, whose previous production credits included The Verve's Urban Hymns, one of Day's favorite albums. While certain tracks on Australia had featured session musicians, Stop All The World Now saw Day joined for the first time by a permanent backing band, consisting of multi-instrumentalist Les Hall, drummer Laurie Jenkins, Drummer Mark Heaney, and ex-Verve bassist Simon Jones. In addition, the majority of the album's songs were co-written with either Better than Ezra frontman Kevin Griffin or Jump Little Children's Jay Clifford. In the autumn of 2002, Day was the opening act for Tori Amos.[10] A full-band tour to promote Stop All the World Now began on September 27, 2003. Due to other commitments, Simon Jones was unable to tour with the group and was replaced by Jeremy Curtis. The album was released one week and three days later on October 7 to tepid critical reactions. Rolling Stone's Pat Blashill referred to Stop as "not bad" but "indistinct",[11] but Popmatters' Devon Powers noted that though Australia had been an album one falls for passionately, "Stop All the World Now is an album you have a crush on, not one you fall deeply, complexly, and foolishly in love with. And crushes have a way of disappearing suddenly, without a trace."[12] Sales of Stop were initially sluggish, but slowly began to rise beginning in late 2004 with the single release of ballad "Collide", which became a popular radio hit and was featured on TV shows such as Cold Case, Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy, Bones, and Two and a Half Men as well as soundtracking a promotional trailer for the 2005 film adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Stop was finally certified gold in early 2005. Fan favorite "She Says", which was first released on 1998's White EP, was released as a follow-up to "Collide". Boosted by the slow success of Stop All the World Now, Epic released the Live From... EP on December 6, 2005. The 7-track EP contains live renditions of songs from Australia and Stop All the World Now as well as a cover of Crowded House's "Don't Dream It's Over". The EP has not been widely reviewed, though Allmusic referred to the release as "holiday market product", "tepid", and "directionless".[1] Be There EP (2009)[edit] Day released an EP, introducing his new album, featuring three new songs: "Be There", "40 Hours", and "Counting On Me". These tracks were available on iTunes. "Be There", produced by Kevin Griffin, Mike Flynn, and Warren Huart, was serviced to radio as the first single from the album. Sound the Alarm (2009)[edit] Day released his third full-length album, Sound the Alarm under the Epic music label on September 8, 2009.[13] After an extensive tour schedule following the release of Stop, Day decided to take some time off, during which he sorted through his emotions by writing songs, many of which have made their way onto Sound the Alarm. "I toured for five years straight before Stop All The World Now came out, then for three years non-stop after it was released," Day says.[14] To get his desired range of sounds and moods, Day recorded in a variety of locations, including Los Angeles, New York (Joel Hamilton), London, Minneapolis, and Bloomington, Indiana, between the spring of 2006 and fall of 2008. He also collaborated with several musicians and producers, including Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz, KT Tunstall), Mike Denneen (Aimee Mann, Fountains of Wayne), Mike Flynn (The Fray, Augustana), Warren Huart (The Fray, Augustana, Better Than Ezra) and Kevin Griffin. "Be There" and "Longest Night" have been used in the CW show The Vampire Diaries. Ceasefire EP (2011)[edit] Consisting of tracks that were left off Sound the Alarm, the Ceasefire EP was released on June 29, 2011. Lanterns (2015)[edit] Day performing in 2013 Day created a PledgeMusic campaign in December 2014 to fund a new album, Lanterns, which was released to pledgers on April 16, 2015.[15] The album was released on iTunes April 28, 2015. When asked about taking the PledgeMusic avenue, Day said "It not only helped pay some of the studio bill, it was also really encouraging to have the fans behind me during the process. I am incredibly grateful."[16] Day's loyal fan base have given mostly favorable reviews. Several songs on the album feature Aimee Mann on backing vocals. Parody of "Collide" at CERN[edit] In 2015, members of the CERN wrote a parody of "Collide", describing the experiments of the Large Hadron Collider from the point of view of a proton. After hearing the parody, Day visited CERN and recorded a cover of the parody of his own song, complete with a clip filmed on site in the tunnels of LHC and in front of the ATLAS detector.[17] Personal life[edit] Day received significant negative attention after two high-profile arrests. In 2004, Day was arrested and charged over an incident in which he was accused of locking a female fan in the bathroom of his tour bus and destroying the cellular phone of another, for which he was fined.[18] In December 2005, Day was arrested in Boston after reportedly verbally abusing the flight crew while under the influence of alcohol and sleeping pills. He was sentenced to one year's probation on April 26, 2006.[19] In 2013, Day reflected on his younger experiences by saying, "I was a kid from Maine who went from zero to 380 in about two seconds, so it was kind of overwhelming. But that's no excuse. I drank a bit too much. A lot of kids run wild, but it’s a big difference when people know who you are."[20] In April 2018, Day was charged with fourth-degree assault for shoving his girlfriend, Carrie Pencek.[21] Day was arrested for assaulting Pencek a second time in August 2019. While staying in a New York City hotel, Day allegedly choked her and threw her to the floor, causing injury to her face, hands, and neck.[22] Day was charged with third-degree assault, harassment, obstructing another person's breathing, and criminal possession of Xanax, a controlled substance.[23] Discography[edit] Studio albums[edit] Title Details Peak chart positions Certifications(sales threshold) US[24] US Rock[25] US Heat[26] FRA[27] Australia Release date: November 1, 2000 Label: Daze Records Formats: CD, cassette — — 18 — Stop All the World Now Release date: October 7, 2003 Label: Epic Records Formats: CD, cassette 46 — — 172 RIAA: Platinum[28] Sound the Alarm Release date: September 8, 2009 Label: Epic Records Formats: CD, music download 82 31 — Lanterns Release date: April 16, 2015 Label: Independent Formats: CD, music download — — — — "—" denotes releases that did not chart Singles[edit] Year Single Peak chart positions Certifications(sales threshold) Album US[29] US AC[30] US Adult[31] USPop[32] 2003 "Perfect Time of Day" — — 21 — Stop All the World Now 2004 "Collide" 20 14 7 14 RIAA: 4× Platinum[28] 2005 "She Says" — 31 6 39 2009 "Be There" — — 23 — Sound the Alarm "—" denotes releases that did not chart Singles and EPs[edit] Single/EP Release date Label Format(s) Notes Howie Day (Demo) 1998 Self-released CD Four-song promotional CD for booking The White EP (#1) 1998 Self-released CD Four-song promotional CD The White EP (#2) 1998 Self-released CD Four-song promotional CD The Blue EP 2000 Self-released CD Four-song promotional CD released in advance of Australia IRA Live EP 2002 Epic Records CD Four-song promotional CD released after Australia Madrigals EP April 29, 2003 Epic Records CD Featured bonus DVD "Standing in the Sun" November 4, 2003 Epic Records iTunes single Extras April 1, 2004 Epic Records CD Four-song promotional CD Live From...
