{"product_id":"wake-cd","title":"Wake: CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eEmerging in an era where pop culture is dominated by vacuous personalities\nwith little of substance to convey, when ‘scene’ bands often concern\nthemselves more with clever marketing strategies than the urgent issues of\nour times, Iowa’s For Today stand decidedly apart. The band’s emotionally\nexplicit messages are torn from turbulent life experience, with an eye toward\nconstructive change designed to impact their fans, the world at large and\nthe band members themselves, in ways big and small. Plenty of bands offer\nup heavy breakdowns mixed with melodic choruses but few display the\nauthentic passion, the forceful optimism and the unifying anthem making\npower of For Today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLead guitarist and melodic vocalist Ryan Leitru, his bass playing brother\nBrandon, drummer David Puckett, and vocalist \/ frontman Mattie\nMontgomery crafted For Today’s most diverse offering, their fifth album,\n2014’s ‘Fight The Silence’. It built on the strengths of fan favourite albums\nlike ‘Breaker’ and ‘Immortal’ infused with the skills honed on countless tours\nwith contemporaries like We Came As Romans, Asking Alexandria, Devil\nWears Prada and Throwdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band’s potent blend of pummelling, powerful and evocative heavy music\nand outspokenly devoted lyrical force has earned them a dedicated following\naround the world. That passionate audience’s fervent support was evidenced\nby ‘Fight The Silence’s #32 debut on the Billboard charts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince forming in 2005, For Today have logged over 1,000 shows on five\ncontinents and have cumulatively sold over 200,000 albums in North America\nto date. The next chapter commences loudly with ‘Wake’. Recorded at\nNature Audio, New Jersey and produced by Will Putney (Suicide Silence,\nBury Tomorrow) ‘Wake’ sees the band ramping up their metalcore attack\nwith unprecedented precision and passion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“This is definitely the start of a new season for us,” concludes singer Mattie\nMontgomery. “‘Wake’ shows how far we’ve come. At the same time, it’s a\ngood introduction to the band. You don’t have to be a Christian to enjoy a\nFor Today show or buy an album. This is open to everyone. We’re all part of\nsomething very big together.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n1.\tNo Truth, No Sacrifice\u003cbr\u003e\n2.\tBroken Lens\u003cbr\u003e\n3.\tForced Into Fire\u003cbr\u003e\n4.\tDeserter\u003cbr\u003e\n5.\tBitter Roots\u003cbr\u003e\n6.\tWasteland\u003cbr\u003e\n7.\tHopeless Ambition\u003cbr\u003e\n8.\tDetermination\u003cbr\u003e\n9.\tFlooded Earth\u003cbr\u003e\n10.\tTime And Tide\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recordstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49981415981298,"sku":"727361361129","price":2.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/1621\/5794\/files\/SharedImage-55296.jpg?v=1787672844","url":"https:\/\/recordstero.shop\/products\/wake-cd","provider":"recordstero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
