In The Face Of War

about

Coming a long way from their inception in 2001, IN THE FACE OF WAR has grown from a way for a few friends to relieve Indiana boredom to a mainstay in the ever-changing Midwest punk/hardcore scene. Over the course of the band's life they have gained a loyal following and have proved themselves to be as dedicated to hard work as they are to having fun. Three years later, after many local and regional shows, and some member changes, ITFOW fine-tuned their sound. In December of 2004 the band released their second CD, "Live Forever or Die Trying" and decided to take on the road. In the course of 2005, ITFOW played more than 150 dates all over the country, in support of the new recording (released by Init Records). During this time ITFOW shared the stage with some of the heaviest hitting bands in today's underground music scene, including but not limited to: Bane, Comeback Kid, Underminded, Haste the Day, This is Hell, The Dillinger Escape Plan, As I Lay Dying, Evergreen Terrace, Embrace Today, Blacklisted, Norma Jean, Casey Jones, Shai Hulud, Verse, Breather Resist, Stretch Armstrong, and Ruiner. Entering ITFOW's sixth year as a band, all told it hasn't been easy. It hasn't always been fun. It hasn't always been cheap. But working through the hard times, the down times, the angry times when it seems like nothing will work out, has solidified their passion and desire to push boundaries of hardcore, to not settle for open chugging mosh riffs or anthems devoid of humility.
