Orlando, Florida quartet There For Tomorrow promises to leave audiences with something powerful, poignant, and most importantly, permanent, one spin of the band’s Hopeless Records debut EP will provide ample proof. Recorded with multi-time Gold record producer James Paul Wisner (Paramore, Underoath, Dashboard Confessional), the self-titled EP captures There For Tomorrow’s driving, Technicolor-rich alternative/rock in full bloom. From the sweeping dynamics and emotionally riveting choruses of “Pages” to the rich harmonies and powerhouse riffs of “No More Room To Breathe,” the EP also shows how far beyond their years this still-young group (average age: 18) are as songwriters. “Our sound has been evolving since day one,” says vocalist/guitarist/programming wiz Maika Maile, who co-founded TFT in 2003, “but with these new songs, I feel like we’ve grown as people as well as musicians. Lyrically and musically, these songs are straight-up, honest, and filled with everything we had to give.” It's easy to picture TFT's hooks and raw emotion grabbing audiences on a wide scale, that's partly because the band first honed their craft in front of a crowd. Just a few years after forming, the group hit the road with a vengeance, finishing an East Coast tour in the summer/fall of 2006 and returning home to win an O-Rock 105.9 (Orlando) competition and play before 10,000 people at the station’s annual “No Snow Show” concert. Additional gigs both large (L.A.’s venerable Key Club; a live acoustic performance on Orlando’s Real Rock WJRR 101.1 FM) and, well, larger (two regional runs on the Vans Warped Tour) didn’t just find TFT reaching more listeners: A chance run-in at one show with James Paul Wisner’s drum tech also put the band in contact with the producer, who worked on TFT’s self-released, 2007 Pages EP before rejoining them to flesh out the tracks for their self-titled Hopeless Records EP. As much as performing onstage has pushed There For Tomorrow – vocalist/guitarist Maika Maile, guitarist Christian Climer, bassist Jay Enriquez and drummer Chris Kamrada – to grow at light speed, it’s also given them the chance to share their material with audiences before committing it to disc. “Our songs are pretty personal,” says Climer, “and when you write that way, you want to be able to make that sort of bigger connection with people when you get back into the studio.” Adds Maile, “We’re not the type of band that just shows up, plays, and then gets offstage to do our own thing. We’re grateful to be doing something audiences can relate with, and I can’t imagine ever losing sight of that.” Indeed, whether they’re opening large venues for AFI or Taking Back Sunday (as they did at various points in 2006 and 2007) or accompanying labelmates All Time Low on a sold-out tour this summer, There for Tomorrow are winning over audiences for the long term. And it’s not just fans that are responding: Profiling the band in July 0f 2007, Alternative Press predicted that ‘Last call for the ground floor on them is almost here… They play some of the most finely sheened pop this side of Epcot,” while AbsolutePunk.net wrote that TFT’s Pages EP “aids in the never-ending search for ‘roll your window down’ tunes.” While we wholeheartedly endorse blasting them out an open window, it’s not important how you discover There For Tomorrow. When you finally do make that connection, it’ll be a permanent one. “We want people to have fun when they listen to us, but it’s also important to have a deeper, hopeful foundation behind what we do,” says Maile. “It’s a big, scary world out there, but if we stay in this together, we’re all gonna be OK.”
