“Pain And Frustration” is the psychedelic new song from Today Is The Day, which arrives through an equally mind-altering new video. The song marks the third single to drop ahead of the band’s anxiously awaited fourteenth official studio LP, Never Give In (SuperNova Records), nearing October 3rd release.
Never Give In marks the first chapter of a two-part concept, conceived and created as one massive body of music and then methodically orchestrated into two albums. 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.
The video for “Pain And Frustration” was created by David Hall. Alongside its release, Austin writes, “I am psyched about David Hall’s new video for ‘Pain And Frustration.’ Dave has made a ton of really sick videos and films for Today Is The Day. He went all out at making this wild video. Dave’s a true original and his psychedelic horror touch fits perfectly with the song. It’s an honor to have him create this crazy, wild ride.”
The sister album to Never Give In will be released in the first half of 2026. Additionally, Steve Austin supplies guitar and vocals to five of the fifteen songs on Gridfailure’s Sixth Mass-Extinction Skulduggery III album which arrives October 3rd, the same day as Never Give In. Austin will also soon be unveiling the first official music from his upcoming debut country album.
