This Day Forward Tickets

Some bands make music. Other bands shape a whole new sound,
bring things to a separate level and strive to forge a new genre in
creating living, breathing encounters with the mind, body and soul.
Pennsylvania’s This Day Forward borrows all the traditional stylings of
hardcore, metal, and rock, then wields them together with childlike
passion, profound imagery and astute precision. They are the yinyang
of hardcore, forever in search of the perfect equilibrium of darkness
and light.
Formed in ’96, This Day Forward began as an after school hobby
among five guys with similar musical tastes. Like most new comers,
things pieced themselves together in the practice room. The band
organized shows wherever a drum kit could fit and soon enough TDF
were opening small D.I.Y. hardcore-punk rock shows at all the local
venues. Before long the band had forged a dedicated following, each
show garnering a better turnout than the last which ultimately led to
the release of their acclaimed albums. Fragments of an Untold Story..
and The Transient Effects of Light on Water (Eulogy).
A big break came at HellFest 2000 where hundreds of kids got their
first glimpse of these upcoming emo-metalcore deities who then
returned the following year to an audience who knew them by name.
Two years later and the band has an entirely new guitar section along
with a brand new record and sound. With new members and long time
friends Vadim Taver (formerly of A Life Once Lost) and Brendan
Ekstrom (of 200 North), TDF has its most powerful line up to date.
After completing numerous US tours and releasing three acclaimed
records, This Day Forward joined Equal Vision Records in late 2002
to release their next full-length effort entitled, In Response. Without a
doubt their most urgent and self-defining release to date, In Response
shows the band ever evolving while still maintaining a sound that is all
their own. Musically the record delivers all the punch of previous
releases, but the material is much more focused than the older
efforts. In Response showcases the band’s diversity by intertwining
hardcore and rock music like never before.
