Today Is the Day is an American noise rock and experimental metal band from Nashville, Tennessee. They have a diverse sound that includes influences from alternative rock, grindcore, avant-garde music, jazz fusion, death metal and progressive rock among other genres. Most of the band's recordings are experimental in nature, displaying an extensive use of dissonance and sampling as well as psychedelic features. Lyrical themes include violence, altered states of consciousness, personal struggles, depression, warfare, drug abuse and mental problems such as psychosis, derealization and paranoia.

The band was founded by Steve Austin and Brad Elrod in Nashville, Tennessee in the early 1990s. The band released its debut EP, entitled How to Win Friends and Influence People, in 1992. This self-financed release garnered the attention of Amphetamine Reptile Records (AmRep) who signed the band (at this time consisting of Austin on vocals and guitar, Brad Elrod on drums, and Mike Herrell on bass guitar) in February 1993. The full-length Supernova was released later that year.
