Today Is The Day's Steve Austin Launches SuperNova Records[views:3179][posts:6]_____________________________________ [Oct 3,2006 4:32pm - the_reverend ""] Groundbreaking musician and renowned producer Steve Austin proudly announces the launch of his own label, SuperNova Records. Hailed since the mid-90's as an icon of extreme individuality, Austin now takes one further step toward total independence with the launch of his own label, SuperNova Records. As a musician, Austin is best known as the visionary force behind Today Is The Day, one of the most unique and influential bands of the past fifteen years, whose hellbent marriage of metal, noise, psychedelia, and rock has won worldwide acclaim. With albums released through legendary indie labels Amphetamine Reptile and Relapse, and with world-class musicians like Brann Dailor (Mastodon), Bill Kelliher (Mastodon), and Marshall Kilpatrick (The Esoteric) passing through its ranks, Today Is The Day reigns as one of the most important bands in the history of extreme music. As a producer, Austin has collaborated with some of the biggest names in metal and hardcore; for over a decade, he has worked from his own studio, Austin Enterprise, to help create landmark albums with such artists as Lamb Of God, Converge, and Deadguy. Recent clients include Jello Biafra and Germs (member of La Coka Nostra, with members of Limp Bizkit and House Of Pain). Now, Austin expands his empire with the launch of his own label, SuperNova Records. Austin intends SuperNova Records to be a home for both his own musical endeavors and for some of the best new bands in the underground. Today Is The Day will release its eight studio album, "Axis Of Eden", through SuperNova Records in 2007. Some of the other SuperNova Records releases planned for 2007 include: a reissue of Today Is The Day's seminal 1994 album, "Willpower"; two Today Is The Day DVD's featuring rare live performances from the band's formative years; and new albums by Boston hardcore punks Defcon 4, Nashville rockers Christine, Jersey thrashers Diesel Theory, Portland doom outfit Roanoke, Italian noise-core unit Orange Man Theory, and Today Is The Day side project Taipan. The SuperNova name dates back to the earliest days of Today Is The Day -- SuperNova was the label Austin created to release the first Today Is The Day demo, "How To Win Friends And Influence People", which would earn the band its deal with Amphetamine Reptile. The label lay dormant ever since, until this year when Austin resolved to launch SuperNova Records, full force. SuperNova Records will be run out of Austin's new home of Nashville, Tennessee. A native of Tennessee, Austin has spent the last decade in Massachusetts and is currently in the process of relocating his entire operation -- label, recording studio, band, family -- back to his home state. http://www.supernovarecords.net |

Yes, but they had to change the band name to Rockstar Supernova because a Cali band with the name Supernova sued them. The producers of the show couldn't afford Google. |
