The Day Of is a four-piece Christian band that began in April 2007 when founder Nick Hickman (N-Luck) begin an individual project. N-Luck’s Split Personalities LP was released in January 2007, and upon release, Nick embarked on a mission to assemble a band in order to achieve the full live sound that he desired. After the many member changes that occurred over the following few months, The Day Of was finally born.Nick (N-Luck) began his musical career in a christian trio known as New Addiction. New Addiction was a very talented vocal trio that combined mainstream beats and music to christian lyrics. The group accomplished many things during their time. The group saw themselves opening for some of christian music's biggest acts. The band seemed to have it all until member Marcus Fuqua left the group. Upon Fuquas departure it was back to the drawing board.After a year-long hiatus, N-Luck released his solo album, Split Personalities. It was upon that release when Nick decided to restart his mission to complete a band. The first member to join Nick was RJ Helton. RJ began as the bass player, but after various changes in the group, he moved to rhythm guitar, where he now remains. RJ’s mission and ministry has always been headed in the same direction as Nick's, so the fit was perfect. After various changes in drummers, the need for a committed and qualified drummer became a growing concern. After much search and prayer, the group stumbled upon drummer Preston Baker. Just like the other members, Preston shared the desire to be with God in worship, and became yet another perfect fit for the band. The next member to join the band was Greg Compton. Greg had just moved to Tennessee and was in search of a Christian band that he could become a part of. After much searching, Greg stumbled across N-Luck’s website. After the two musicians met, shared ministry ideas, and jammed together for a little while, they soon realized that Greg was a much needed component for N-Luck’s new band. And soon enough, he became the lead guitar player. The Day Of has a vision of changing the world for the better, as all members have decided to devote their lives and musicianship to their Lord and savior. Although they have only been together for a few months, they are already receiving many accolades. In the band’s first couple months together, they were able to share a venue with Sanctus Real and Decemberadio – two of the biggest names in Christian music. In addition, The Day Of has also recently become endorsed through Christian Music Presenters, and although things may be seem hectic for the band, they truly appreciate the doors that God has opened for them.The band is now in the studio working on their debut album, Awaiting Takeoff, an album that will showcase all of their talents, including amazing harmonies, incredible solos, and tremendously catchy lyrics. The album will touch on many different aspects of life, and members are sure it will be a classic upon release. The album is set for release towards the end of the 2007.
