Interview with David from For Today

HEr

Here is my interview with David from For Today for my other site (christian hardcore news). Interview with David from For Today! David, drummer for our Unsigned Band of The Week, For Today, was gracious enough to answer some questions for me to post on this site! If you don't know For Today right now, you will in the near future. Here is my interview with, David. 1. How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard your band? Technical Metalcore with tight breakdowns and sweeping. Haha. That would be the easiest in my oppinion. 2. What bands are your biggest influences? Oh man. If you mean by influence as the bands that we love listening to it would be - Boys Like Girls, Misery Signals, Life In Your Way, August Burns Red, etc...  Bands that we sound somewhat similar to in certain aspects - August Burns Red, Between The Buried & Me, etc. 3. You guys are on tour for the next four months, basically. How is the tour going so far and what can expect when they see a For Today show? Everything has been going awesome. We're actually on tour for about 14 months, haha. We have been out non stop since August currently minus a couple like 2 days off, etc... We are full time so we will always be out ;-) 4. How is the record label search going? Record Labels are the slowest, most annoying companies in the whole world. (Don't tell them that, haha!). It's been better. We turned down a couple smaller labels earlier in our career, had an offer from another label fall through this summer and in the meantime we are just doing our thing out here on the road and waiting for the right one. We are in discussions with a couple labels currently but there's nothing for certain to be announced at this time :-( 5. You just got a new vocalist, Mattie, who used to be in the band Beseiged. How did this come about? God. That's the simplest answer. Basically what happened is our vocalist quit because he didn't want to tour full time, etc.. At the same time, Mattie had quit Besieged but they hadn't made the official announcement. A good friend of ours let him know and it's history from there ;-) 6. What kind of a role does christianity play in your band? Every single person in our band is a Christian and has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I can't think of anything else more important, so the role is crucial. We are not afraid to tell anyone that we ARE a christian band. We are NOT a band made up of christians or a band that will hide behind a mic and talk for 10 seconds telling kids that we are pushovers and won't tell you what to believe, etc.. We are bold and we're here to stay. 7. How long will it be before we get a full length album from you guys? We recorded a full length album in June of 2007 with Jamie King (between the buried & me, once nothing, etc.) and our old vocalist is on it. So whenever we sign to a label and re-record vocals with Mattie - THEN you will get a full length! 8. Is there anything else you'd like to say that I didn't cover? You are awesome, what's your favorite kind of ice cream? (run on sentence, i suck)  Thank you so much for the interview, David!
