It Dies Today (formed in September, 2001) is a Metalcore band based in Buffalo, New York. Their first album contains harsher vocals than their follow-ups[citation needed]. The band announced their break up on the last day of the Never Shave Again Tour, in Clifton Park, NY. However, this later turned out to be a joke played by the lead singer to a few people: Their MySpace page confirms this. On January 17th, 2007 it was announced that frontman/lead vocals Nick Brooks had left the band and that Jason Wood would be the new vocalist. The band will also be playing at Warped Tour summer of '07. It Dies Today has posted two songs with new vocalist Jason Wood on their official myspace page. They are currently in the studio recording their third album due in the summer.
