There For Tomorrow, the four piece set from Orlando Florida, in the last two months just released their brand new 8 track EP Pages, were signed to Hopeless Records and have been on featured on national tours with All Time Low, Anberlin, Ivoryline and the Warped Tour. They are technically considered punk rock but their songs don't the whiny quality (which I love) that many other mainstream pop punk bands have. The band was formed in 2003 but they've just hit it big in the past year with features on MTV, MTVU the Daily Chorus and Alt Press. Though they were the first set of 3 opening bands for Anberlin when they played at the Wonder Ballroom last Sunday they were miles ahead of any of the other bands (Straylight Run, Scary Kids Scaring Kids) in terms of creativity and energy. While listening to the other bands I was tempted to leave and take a cab back to campus because after listening to TFT they seemed dull, old and uninspired. Also the fact that the oldest band member is still not able to drink makes it all the more enjoyable because they actually want to stick around after shows and talk to fans because we're all the same age. They are the first band I've encountered in a while who actually wants to be friends with there fans and have no problem standing around and talking for hours or adding you on facebook. They are basically just a group of really really talented kids who have the ability to create awesome music that makes it impossible to stand still during their shows. Plus they're funny as shit which always makes shows more fun, and they do a sick cover of Icebox.....listen now!
