This morning Facedown Records announces the signing of Sioux City, Iowa band FOR TODAY.

Says drummer David Morrison of the signing: "We couldn't be happier to have signed with
Facedown Records! It's been a long battle but God has finally put us where we are
supposed to be at the right time!"

Along with this morning's announcement come two new songs on the band's myspace: "Words
of Hope" and "Infantry" were just added alongside "Agape."

Fest and beyond. Tour dates are below with many more dates coming soon. "You can expect
to see us on the road all over America in 2008 so get ready!"

BIO:
From the heart of the Midwest rises a beast whose ferocity and aggression is rivaled only
by its poise and focus. For two years For Today have clawed and scraped their way into
the spotlight. Seldom is there to be found a band whose passion and integrity are a
matched by their technicality and musical merit. As forthcoming about their faith as
they are about their musical prowess, vocalist Mattie Montgomery sums up the band's
mission: "This has nothing to do with music and everything to do with our faith in
Christ." But music is a catalyst and For Today uses their August Burns Red-meets-Between
The Buried And Me sound to spread their message across the nation.

For Today have become widely known as one of modern metal's most technically proficient
bands and have earned their spot by playing over 200 dates in 2007 alone. Fusing
extensive and prestigious backgrounds in both hardcore and metal and promising to ‘up’
the touring ante in 2008 they have stamped their name in the hearts of fans from all
across the globe.

For Today’s debut full-length “Ekklesia,” produced by Jamie King (Between The Buried And
Me, The Human Abstract) is marked for release on April 1 and with the backing of Facedown
Records (along with a relentless tour schedule) For Today stands poised and ready to
stake their claim in today's modern metal scene.
