original work. In the months following the album, the band toured extensively, playing with bands such as Thursday, Murder by Death, Sincebyman, and Christiansen before announcing their breakup in November. The reasons for this are not well known. Among the rumors circulating were that some members were dissatisfied with In Response or disillusioned with the hardcore scene, but none of these appeared substantiated, although at one of their final shows with Poison the Well, Mike walked offstage in the middle of a song after a fight broke out, saying "and then you wonder why bands break up." The band played the final leg of their last tour in December with Alexisonfire, ending with their last show at the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia, a cherished local music venue where they had played early in their career. Current projects Although This Day Forward seems to be permanently defunct, nearly all of its members have been involved in various musical endeavors since 2003. Mike Shaw and Mike Golen are working on a musical tentatively titled Chateau, which is expected to be released in late 2022. Shaw has also done guest vocals for local band A Trunk Full of Dead Bodies on an unreleased track called "The First to Dance" which also featured Rachel Minton of Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer as well as local band I Am Alaska on a track called "Get Real". Gary has re-entered the working world, while Frangicetto and Ekstrom have teamed up with former Saosin vocalist Anthony Green to form the well-known Circa Survive. Vadim Taver had teamed up in an acoustic emo side project called Superstitions of the Sky with former Hot Cross guitarist Josh Jakubowski even before This Day Forward had split up. He also appeared on Hot Cross's 2004 EP Fair Trades and Farewells, Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer's first full length "Jalopy Go Far" and played guitar and performed lead vocals in Marigold before leaving and moving to California in summer 2006. In 2010, Taver released his debut solo album Expand, Escape on Falling Leaves Records.
