Today Is The Day’s catalog of 13 albums can now be purchased and streamed on all digital platforms, released through frontman Steve Austin’s SuperNova Records.
MVD and Amphetamine Reptile partner with Robel Films to release The Color of Noise, a film about the history of the label and its founder Tom “Haze” Hazelmyer.
