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. After recording countless practice sessions, burning hundreds of CDR demos, printing thousands of fliers for shows, going through three vans with multiple breakdowns, losing members without warning, touring while bills mount up at home, ITFOW gained even more resolve; to play shows, to make people's jaws drop, and to show people that hardcore is not a dead or an overplayed genre, but that it still has heart and worth.
In 2006 ITFOW found a new home with the newly founded Detournement Records, and began the process of writing and recording for the new release, titled "We make Our Own Luck". They have put together eleven tracks with music and lyrics reflecting their unashamed passion. Don't just expect another hardcore album that you will tell your friends you may have heard but can't remember what it sounds like. With the release one of the most relevant hardcore albums in years, ITFOW is sure to become a band that everyone includes in their CD collection.

It's as if the commander faced a question, where will you stand?

Instead of “Don’t cling so hard to your possessions” it should say “The blood in my heart boils over”. And instead of “For respect makes empires fall’ it should be “Slaves (Or oppressed ones) arise, arise”

Because the specify subtitle is from English the internationale
Comrade
They tried using billy brags version, which is widely accepted as the English version now.
The Asian Piano boy
@Comrade Yeah but it’s not the proper translation
Hieronymus
@ComradeBrag’s version really really sucks. In meter, it’s horrible, in message, it’s pacified, and in substance, it borders frankly on bourgeois
Comrade
@Hieronymus I know, which is why I use the American English version, much better in my opinion.

Imagine a capitalist country uses the internationale as their national anthem 😅
