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.
In mid-2002 the band released their debut five-track EP, Extended Play, through indie label Alpha9.
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.
[citation needed] 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.
On 1 August 2015 Days of Worth reunited to play a one-off gig celebrating the 10th anniversary of the release of The Western Mechanism.
