"Until the Day I Die" introduced Story of the Year in 2003, the debut single from their first album, Page Avenue, and it was born on the road: the band dreamed up the intro riff crammed into a 15-passenger van during a two-week tour supporting Goldfinger. That band's frontman, John Feldmann, took them under his wing, sat them down at a house in Orange County and pointed out every bit of filler in their songs, then produced, recorded and mixed this one himself, even adding backing vocals.

The result is lean and loud: Ryan Phillips and Phil Sneed's guitars chiming then crashing, Adam Russell and Josh Wills slamming the rhythm home, and Dan Marsala swinging between croon and scream. MTV2 and Fuse kept it in heavy rotation, which did it no harm at all.
