Ash Costello’s unmistakable vocals and New Years Day’s dark theatrical style helped the band carve out a distinctive place in modern hard rock and alternative metal. This complete list of New Years Day songs from A to Z explores the band’s entire recording career, featuring every officially released song, fan favorites, breakthrough singles, and deep cuts from one of the most recognizable hard rock bands to emerge from the 2000s.
Formed in Anaheim, California, in 2005, New Years Day first gained attention through MySpace before building a dedicated fan base with relentless touring and a steady stream of new music. The band released five studio albums, My Dear, Victim to Villain, Malevolence, Unbreakable, and Half Black Heart. Their biggest songs include “Angel Eyes,” “Kill or Be Killed,” “Defame Me,” “Shut Up,” and their popular cover of “Gangsta.” The band’s 2015 album Malevolence became the first New Years Day release to reach the Billboard 200, helping establish the group as a major force in modern hard rock and metal.
New Years Day earned an MTVU Freshman Award for the video for “I Was Right” and developed a reputation for energetic live performances and a strong connection with fans. Much of the band’s identity is tied to vocalist Ash Costello, whose work outside the band includes The Haxans and numerous guest appearances with other artists. Despite multiple lineup changes throughout the years, New Years Day has continued to evolve while maintaining the heavy sound, gothic imagery, and theatrical presentation that first attracted audiences. Their combination of powerful songs, memorable visuals, and passionate performances has helped the band remain a respected presence in modern rock for more than two decades.
