Produced by my all-time favorite producer James Paul Wisner, Pages is the debut EP from rock quintet There For Tomorrow. These boys are textbook James Paul Wisner products as their riffs are heavy with energy, high on melody, and exploding with instant pop-rock appeal. If you’re a fan of Saosin, Boys Like Girls, and Hit The Lights consider yourself already a fan as There For Tomorrow effortlessly walk the line between these bands.

Pages is like a novella in itself possessing the infectious, suspenseful quality of a short story that you can’t put down. From start to finish each track will grab you in and keep you rocking. Opener “Wrong Way To Hide” punctuates There For Tomorrow’s high energy, vocally riveting performance style. Follow-up “Addiction And Her Name” is ripe with sing-along verses and get-on-your-feet riffs. I could go on to describe every track on this EP because they’re all worthy of your attention, but I’m going to save my breath and provide you a link to their myspace because hearing really is believing.

Admittedly, these Florida natives aren’t doing anything particularly new, but they do it so well that it’s easy to forget that tons of bands have already walked this walk. If There For Tomorrow don’t become your new favorite band in March, I’ll be shocked. Powerful vocals, addictive guitars, and crazy energy, what’s there to stop you from picking this up on Tuesday?!?

1. Wrong Way To Hide
2. Addiction And Her Name

5. Taking Chances

Standout Tracks:
All of them

Wow, this band is just as good as they are described, amazing. The few minutes it took to listen them was of course worth it.

Saosin and Circa Survive came to mind when i first heard this ep, and I agree with the “walk the line between these bands” remark that Julie Watanabe made, to some extent. However, I dont agree that There For Tomorrow are textbook James Paul Wisner products, since Saosin, Boys Like Girls and Hit The Lights never were produced by JPW. Matt Squire produced both Boys Like Girls and the lates Hit The Light record. Saosin were produced by Howard Benson. JPW produced bands in this category are:Nevertheless,Run Kid Run, Lorene Drive, Forever Changed, Further Seems Forever to name just a few. Anyway, I am looking forward for There For Tomorrow’s next full length album, beacause this is great stuff and so much better than their first effort “point of origon”.

Thanks for the comments Bengt, but if you go back and read what I actually wrote, you’ll see that I didn’t exactly say what you think I did. I wrote There For Tomorrow are textbook JPW products because “their riffs are heavy with energy, high on melody, and exploding with instant pop-rock appeal.” Thus your reference to Nevertheless, RKR, FC, and LD are all warranted. However, the line after this does something completely different in that it drops comparisons to TFT’s sound–namely Saosin, BLG, and HTL. The first part addresses a sort of production standard I see in many (if not all) of JPW’s releases. The second part goes on to clarify who may like There For Tomorrow. Ultimately, though, it wouldn’t make much sense to bring up other producers in light of the brevity of the review. If my goal were to the conduct a meta-analysis on music genres and album producers, maybe that would be the case. However, for the time being, calling a band like There For Tomorrow “textbook JPW” does not seem misleading in my mind. If it does for others, I apologize.

Julie,I see your point. You made a comparaison in sound, and Your favorite producer JPW produced this EP, and his trademarks are all the things you mentioned,no doubt about that.However,those things and standards are the same for a lot of other producers too, and specially those who produced those bands you mentioned. It might not be misleading, but if it is textbook JPW, why compare it to bands with different producers with the same standards? For me personally it’s no problem,since I know these producers and bands quiet well, but it might be misleading for others who dont know them. Well, you’v just clarified it, so thank you .
