Just before starting the summer tour, Meeks had told interviewers that all of his fellow band members were holding him back and, consequently, were being released from the group. He said they were disappointed by this decision but he thought they would remain friends. An Outpost spokesperson, claimed that “Travis just talks” and nothing was official. Before they could fulfill club touring duties with Finger Eleven and Flight 16 in December, without citing reason, Meeks canceled in early November. Various explanations were given by band members and a label spokesperson including poor tour scheduling, band fighting, and Meeks being physically ill. It was confirmed in February 1999 that the band split up. Todd Whitener, Mat Taul, and Jesse Vest formed C14, renamed Tantric , while Meeks formed a new band under the Days of the New name.
