TODAY IS THE DAY released Never Give In in October of last year, the first of a two-part concept album series, manifesting all the loathing, despair, despondency, and resentment for the current state of the world. These songs merge elements of many eras and lineups of the band’s wide lineage while infusing elements never previously heard in TODAY IS THE DAY’s music, as cinematic and psychedelic motifs shroud the hard-driving metallic core of these ten immersive songs. Dismal and dystopian themes fuel the downtrodden, now antagonistic toward the powers that be, trudging through the quagmire of life in hopes of a triumphant outcome.

Never Give In was written by Steve Austin who handles guitar, vocals, electronics, and Moog Sub37, with touring members Colin Frecknall on drums/percussion and Tom Jack on bass. Several guests are also featured on several tracks. “Psychic Wound” sees Aaron Polk performing drums, and “Secret Police” sees Mac Gollehon (live/session brass for David Bowie, Onyx, Blondie, Héctor Lavoe) performing trumpet and trombone, and David Brenner (Gridfailure) supplying synth and background vocals, in addition to creating the video for the song. The album was recorded, mixed, mastered, and completed with artwork/art direction and videos all by Steve Austin at Austin Enterprise Recording & Mastering in Orland, Maine.

Never Give In is streaming everywhere and is available on LP, CD through SuperNova Records’ webshop HERE and Bandcamp where videos for “Never Give In,” “Secret Police,” and “Pain And Frustration” are playing HERE.

The sister album to Never Give In is in the process of being completed for release this Summer. Austin also unveiled the debut of his new outlaw country band, with the Marked Cards And Loaded Dice LP nearing release on May 1st.

“Largely inspired by the desperation and despair he felt during the pandemic, as well as the contempt and mistrust he developed for politicians, the media and anyone who tried to get too close to him during that time, Never Give In is a sprawling, disoriented cry for help and—paradoxically—an unnerving purge of the poisons that drove Austin to the edge of the abyss.” – Decibel Magazine

“Now fully independent, TODAY IS THE DAY are a liberated force, drunk on possibilities and beholden only to their leader’s reliably warped and wayward approach to getting this stuff down on tape.” – Blabbermouth

“…finds the band sounding as towering and shapeshifting as ever.” – BrooklynVegan

“When it comes to Steven Austin’s demented little band, TODAY IS THE DAY, expect the unexpected… It is safe to say Austin has secured his place alongside artists like Melvins and Swans, who procure heaviness in their own likeness rather than being dictated by the hallowed halls of heavy metal. The complex emotional disturbances depicted on the album are more heavy mental.” – No Clean Singing

“…I’m but a witness to the storytelling of someone who’s not afraid to share his experiences in all their glories and ugliness, and the fact that we have yet more TODAY IS THE DAY, given all that Austin’s had to endure, between loss, homelessness, and car crashes, is to be celebrated. It takes guts to paint an honest picture, and no one is as unflinching at it as Steve Austin.” – Angry Metal Guy
