Eventually the band decided to move to California and signed with We the People Records, where they released The Feel Of It EP in 2002.
The group toured heavily behind its EPs and received significant exposure on the internet, resulting in their signing with Fueled by Ramen.
On December 18, 2006 the band announced that they are no longer on the Fueled by Ramen roster,[2] but promised that new Days Away material will be released in the near future.
Keith Goodwin and Tim Arnold shortly thereafter announced they were working on a new project, Good Old War, with Daniel Schwartz.
Goodwin has made guest vocal appearances on the song 'Left Coast Envy' by The Starting Line and on Lover, the Lord Has Left Us..., the second album by The Sound of Animals Fighting.
