Days of Worth were a five-piece English rock band. Formed in 2002, they quickly forged their own variation on the UK rock sound of the time, influenced by the likes of Hundred Reasons, Hell Is For Heroes and more obscure bands such as Handsome and the Boston based outfit Cave In. They also name early 90's bands such as Soundgarden as influences.
In mid-2002 the band released their debut five-track EP, "Extended Play", through indie label Alpha9. Four of the five tracks, "Ladies and Gentlemen", "State of Me", "Take Me Through" and "Narcolepsy" would later be re-recorded for their first album, "The Western Mechanism". The fifth track, titled "Retainer", remains the only track to be exclusive to the EP.
Although the band were quick to distance themselves from their first recording it gained them a sizable local following and attracted the attention of London-based label Visible Noise, who signed them in early 2003.
The album "The Western Mechanism" was released in 2005 to great critical praise. However, despite continued support for the band from the rock press in the U.K, Days of Worth remained somewhat of an obscurity, and were eventually dropped by Visible Noise. They disbanded shortly after.
The band members were: Simon Ellis Griffiths (vocals), Alex Jarczok (guitar), Chris Gane (guitar), Kerry Lambert (bass) and Andy Green (drums).
Bassist Kerry Lambert went on to join DIY indie rock band fiN who have since released four 7" vinyl singles and a digital only album entitled Life Is Wasted On The Living. fiN have toured with the likes of Muse, Incubus, Feeder and Mona and continue to play shows as often as possible all over the UK and Europe.
Simon Griffiths went on to join Post-Hardcore band Radio Alcatraz in late 2010. Radio Alcatraz released their debut album 'Populous: In The Belly Of The Beast' on August 1, 2012, after support slots with Anti-Flag, Godsized and ex Hundred Reasons/Reuben band Freeze The Atlantic.
