For Today release official music video for Fight the Silence

For Today have released the video for their new song, “Fight The Silence.” Watch HERE ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaDSvzFZqoI). The song is from the band’s forthcoming new studio album Fight the Silence, which will be released on February 4^th 2014 via Razor & Tie.  Merch Pre-orders are available HERE. The video for “Fight the Silence” was directed by Daniel Davison (August Burns Red, The Chariot, Manchester Orchestra, Norma Jean).  Fight the Silence has a strong social message and proceeds from the sale of this song and forthcoming album will go to support the A21 Campaign to help shine a light on the issue of human trafficking. For Today lead vocalist Mattie Montgomery had all of the lyrics written for the song before he arrived at the studio to record it. Montgomery explains. Then the morning before we got in, I watched a video someone sent me called Girls Going Wild in the Red Light District. They were like, ignore the title. Just watch the video. In the video there are six girls standing in the window of a brothel in Amsterdam. This song starts playing and these prostitutes all start doing this synchronized dance to this music. Then at the end of it, these girls get done and the windows go black and this screen at the top of the building comes on and says, Every year thousands of girls are promised a dance career in Western Europe. Sadly they many of them end up here. Mattie sat in the studio and wept for a good twenty minutes. I was sobbing, snot coming out of my nose, tears coming down my face. How can we help? Where do we even start? I literally went through the lyrics to this song called Hope which is ironic. I went through the lyrics that I had written and selected everything and I hit delete. You know what? I want the world to hear about this thing. So I re-wrote them in 45 minutes that morning. Then we recorded it. That’s Fight the Silence. The band will work to raise funds via the album and touring to continue the global effort to rescue and rehabilitate those who have been victimized and to oppose and prosecute those who are responsible for the buying and selling of other human beings. For Today was recently announced as one of the first five acts confirmed for the 2014 Vans Warped Tour. The band will perform on the entire nationwide run from June 14^ththrough August 3^rd. For Today will also be headlining this January on the Fight The Silence Album Release Tour with Like Moths to Flames, Stray From the Path, The Plot In You and Fit For A King (tour dates below).
