However, over time the drama of labels and many other mishaps, one of which was their band name conflicting with a clothing brand, sank the ship and members were forced to move on to other projects. Some of these included Vanity Kills, Sin City Angels and they even formed a new band called Brute.
A former member of Die Trying took to Instagram to post the cover of the band's last EP “For Our Friends” now available on streaming platforms after a decade of sitting idle in a vault.
I don't recall seeing very much of these people. I do, however, remember when “Oxygen's Gone” received heavy rotation on said music channels, but unfortunately, Die Trying faded into oblivion never to be seen or heard from again.
This was also around the time Chevelle dropped “Wonder What's Next” in 2002 and 2004's "This Type Of Thinking(Could Do Us In)" eventually plowing over those other people. My memory of Die Trying resurfaced March of 2025 as I compared and contrasted the years in which they dropped their debut alongside Chevelle and their albums during early to late Y2k.
Sometimes I wonder if I was ever supposed to be on this path before the whole thing fell apart after a string of bad luck. I remember when the early 2000s were saturated in hard rock bands hitting the scene, but this is also a big deal, moreover, because it's the beginning of the new era and my new identity fixing to come in between 2017-2026 after the completion of the last chapter in 2015.
Wherever these guys are now I wish them the best. Give that EP a listen and tell me what you think for old time's sake.
