Today Is The Day, featuring Curran Reynolds on drums since last year, are currently in the process of wrapping up their ninth studio album, dubbed 'Pain Is A Warning'. Curran just finished tracking the drums."I have so much respect for those guys. Like Brad Elrod, the original drummer, was such a creative, amazing player. Of course, Brann Dailor was in the band, Derek Roddy was in the band. These are all world-class drummers. Now, I’ve already done a tour with Today Is The Day. I think honestly any sort of pressure that I would have felt to live up to anything in the past, I think that sort of pressure was pretty much squashed after doing that tour that I did. (...) I am the seventh drummer to record with Today Is The Day. In addition to those seven guys, there’s even been more guys who have done tours and filled in with Today Is The Day. I’m trying to do the legacy justice and pay tribute to all those guys, but at the same time, it’s definitely my thing. I’m just trying to bring my own energy to it and make the songs rock as hard as possible."
In the interview Curran also talks about his background as a drummer, how Today Is The Day's new material is different from the rest of the band's catalog, his involvement in the creation of the songs, his other band Wetnurse, and the record deal with Black Market Activities among other topics.

Today Is The Day is planning a five week trek of Europe. The co-headlining tour with Soilent Green starts off on April 1 in Iceland, followed by the UK, mainland Europe and the rest of Scandinavia. A band called Retox, featuring Justin Pearson and Gabe Serbian from The Locust, are opening.
