Days Difference was a pop/rock band that formed in Virginia Beach, Virginia in 2004. The quartet consists of Jeremy Smith (lead vocals/keyboard), Jonathan Smith (drums), Micah Ricks (bass guitar) and Jeremiah Ricks (lead guitar). The group released their debut album Numbers in 2007. Their self-titled album Days Difference was released on October 6, 2009 and marks the group's first major release on the Universal Motown Records label. In 2011, the band was signed to Universal Republic Records for the release of their next album. The band officially announced in September 2013 that they had been broken up since 2012.
Jeremy Smith took piano lessons as a child. He is now the frontman and chief songwriting force behind Days Difference, a young quartet from Virginia Beach, Virginia. Jeremy formed Days Difference in May 2004 with his older brother, Jonathan Smith on drums and another set of brothers, Micah and Jeremiah Ricks, who play bass and guitar. The siblings met when Jeremy and Jonathan filled in for a no-show pianist and drummer at a high school concert that Micah and Jeremiah were performing. They played their first official gig in September 2004. By May 2006, they were fully committed to giving Days Difference a shot. They had opened up for several popular bands such as Paramore, Lifehouse, Third Eye Blind, Jack’s Mannequin, Owl City and Yellowcard when they had come through Virginia Beach, Virginia. In 2007, they had released a solo album titled Numbers (see below), and then went on a nationwide tour.
On their first tour, in a matter of 12 days, they got a flat tire on the first day. A few days later and it simply fell off, requiring them to buy a new trailer. Soon after, their drummer acquired a concussion playing soccer and the bass player broke his collarbone playing football. One promoter even got hit by a car, requiring the cancellation of more shows. To top it off, the band received a $300 fine.
Universal Motown saw potential in Days Difference and their ability to connect with a wide audience. The band signed to the label a mere 24 hours after playing a well-attended industry showcase in June 2008. Disney has also climbed aboard, casting Jeremy, Jonathan, and Micah as members of Miley Cyrus's backing band in the big-screen version of Hannah Montana: The Movie.
