For Today "Redemption" at Sonshine Festival 2007

[DrumNBum]

i like this lead singer way better. his high pitched voice is perfect

[Outofthishouse]

New vocalist sucks in my opinion. Guy with dreads is brutal as fuck, bring him back.

[pseudosacred]

@Outofthishouse This is old. The "guy with the dreads" is still in the band...

[1MiguelGonzalez1]

i honestly like Matt tyler's vocals over mattie for this song. Mattie was hard to understand but he cleaned it up alot. With that said, Mattie overall is better.

[AILDxDISCIPLE]

I honestly thought Mattie has always been the vocalist. They sound alike on Ekklesia.

[xsHarppz]

who the fuk is that D00d?

[AntonioAdiletta]

mattie is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyy better

[Maggot4life86]

lol mattie does better vocals. but matt tyler is a kool dude

[TheJoelD]

Don't you hate it when there's an awesome guitar part in a song, and the cameraman looks away? "Oh, palm muted C5 chords, check it out! Now there's a sweet, face-melting lead? Let's see what the drummer's up to."

[CoreyG852]

@TheJoelD I agree dude:(

[FloDrum2107]

@TheJoelD hahaha i know! the fuck?!

[ISeaLights]

That cowboy part is really gay when he says it.xD

[Cavs278]

@ISeaLights yeah this singer is a fucking pussy

[xNINJAB3ARx]

Mattie Montgomery is awesome, don't get me wrong. But you really have to appreciate For Today's roots. Matt Tyler was pretty sick!!

[SpiceStudios]

@xNINJAB3ARx Agreed. Without Matt Tyler, there would be no sick, inspirational Ekklesia lyrics...and no "ride em coyboy'!!!!!

[lightswitchband]

Lightswitch will be at Sonshine 2010 !

Hope we see you there!

[plouto50]

RIDEM COWBOY

LOVE IT

[godsdiciple13]

lol RIDE UM COWBOY! so randomly hilarious

[horchada1]

well at least on the album they kept the part where he sings " this is our freddom of right " love that piece in this song

[fatbaby316]

this guys is good, but mattie is way better. like theres no denying that.

[Maggot4life86]

lol no if you have ever seen matt in concert you would no he is better, dont get my wrong i still love for today and mattie is fucking sick, but matt tyler is the shit!

[thecleaze]

thank goodness for mattie.

[restinpeacejimi]

Keep rockin' ryan and brandon, hope u guyz r livin' life to the fullest

[SenorRobosus]

This guys isnt bad, in fact hes good. But since mattie has stepped in as lead vocals the band has taken off. Bottom line mattie lows are what make For Today.

oh and studio magic? Your an idiot, see them live and then say its all studio. Mattie>Matt

[tsstbiksose3gaibs4]

Yea dude! Mattie's vocals are intense but, For Today used to sound alot more hardcore with Matt.

I appreciate both versions of the Ekklesia album. It's funny how they're the exact same songs, but the vocals give the album 2 completely different sounds.

[MapleSteelie]

lmao look at the base player 1:00-1:10 :P

[NSSballa]

Base?

[burnttoast001]

i lol'd at that thanks to your comment.

thank you

[AlexIbenez]

i kinda miss mikey but mattie is better cant wait sonshine is in like 3 weeks

[kevinf192]

mike is still in the band?

he is the guitar player......

[rodrigoskatessteezy]

you mean matt?

[XjiminyX]

hands down i like both vocalists

[zoniie52]

mattie is better, this dude screams like a girl

[ForTodayfan777]

okay they are both good niether one is better so all you faggots shut up :D

[christiandrummer777]

The new vocalist Mattie, is so much better than this dude! Mattie can scream high and low, and quite well, might i add

[jeremyhum27]

matt tyler was 100% better than mattie m.(their current vocalist) especially on ecclesia. (before they changed it to ekklesia) mattie=studio magic. matt was just better.

[squrlskatesenjoi]

umm Bullspit.... have you heard Mattie live! Made me nut my pants

[jeremyhum27]

i have heard them both live, and recorded. and matt tyler dominates both times. mattie sounds like he drinks a lot of milk before they play. he's just not a good vocalist. if you heard Ecclesia with matt, instead of mattie. you would know what i mean.

[youwannashake123]

what?milk is good for screaming?...(i probably asked a question or a really stupid embarrassing question)

[kineticx]

Mattie=studio magic?? lol i am not agree, cause mattie sounds terrific live!! have u heard to his live videos, he gives a better show as well, the other matt wasnt even born to scream!! he sounds kinda weird!! or thats my opinion

[AlexSkates247]

Matt's screams don't flow, they're all choppy.

[Tyler3HF]

im glad they got a new vocalist... this guy is soo much better...

=]

[JBuB21]

Mattie's scream's are boring as hell. Matt was way better on CD.

[olisk8ordie]

omg Mattie is a fucking legend compared to this guy haha!

[JamesPthepimp]

i mean he's okay, but Mattie just brings so much more to this band.

but on that part where he says "this is our freedom" it sounds exactly like the new recording.

[Jonaswitness]

yea there old screamer sucked too!! lol

[treeslicer13]

lol guys, this is matt. Their old screamer. they picked up Mattie a while back so get up to speed :)

[KLOEBGUITAR]

Why new vocalist?

[son]

im glad they got a new vocalist hahaha.

[xDilemmachinex]

They don't have the black lead singer here .. Lame.

[RockZillaGirl14]

I love For Today... I was at that show... Mattie has done a good job filling such big shoes, but I really miss this dude. He was so energetic!

[ForTodayfan777]

i love how he is two stepping at the begining and trying to sing lol

[atreyukeyblade]

New vocalist is wayyyy better

[tcrslapshot1447]

I actually don't know a ton about For Today so this was awhile ago and this could have been the singer before him, but i don't think... anyone know for sure....

[Tengent]

This was the vocalist before Mattie.

[tcrslapshot1447]

People, Mattie is still in the band, he problably had some issue to deal with... CALM DOWN!!! By the way this has to be one of the worst replacement singers i have ever heard...

[glassSmile]

it's their old screamer...

-.-

[m3GTR201]

so where did mattie go?

[HeavenFort]

this is before mattie

[quique360]

the new screamer has more range on his vocals.

he has lows and highs.

[MichaelaSayWhat]

why isn't mattie in the band anymore?

[GrimAffliction17]

he decided to leave the band because he got married and he wanted to support his family. he got fucked over in that though and im not gonna go deeper then this cuz i guess thats his business.

[xCoryxEvansx]

RIDE EM COWBOY!!!!

[Melfi14]

lmao idk y but Matt reminds me of Seth Rogen :P

i think it might be cuz they both have jew fros :P

and idk about u guys but i think Mattie is much better that Matt

but Matt does a good job

[sionofdarkness]

dude yes, I agree with both. Ive been saying he and seth rogen have to be brothers for the longest time.

[bustedfan4life]

Dude, no way!!

Matt OWNS!!

It took me forever to get used to Mattie's vocals, and even after all this time, I'm still not very fond of him.

I LOVED when David used to do lead vocals

'Your Army Falls Tonight' and 'Last Showing'

AAGGHH

Freakin CLASSICS

But back on the subject, Matt owns fo' sho'

[Looktowardsthesky]

I love this song

Mattie is kinda better i think

but Matt is still good no doubt

[elementfreak80]

i love for today they are soooo amazing!

[CapnC5295]

dude they were soooooooooooo good last night! i love both vocalists by the way. i just love For Today, period.

[joeyyhawke]

We need to get Matt back he just looks like he fits way more than ugly dred head mattie. BRING BACK MATT!!

[g0p00plol]

dude, i was SO there! :) they were amaaaaaaaaazing@!

[TheIloveyoukid]

personally i love both vocalists, recording i think Matt did a better job, Live. i love Mattie, and Mattie was sick too when he was recording, i talked to David bout it, Ur right Matt doesnt fit this style that much but thats what makes it awesome, he is so unique. but i mean i love Mattie too, Mattie is just a beast on stage with a heart of passion

[entropy9206]

those of you saying how you don't like this guy doing the vocals and he isn't as good as mattie, I'll give you that...for For Today's sound he doesn't really fit, but go and check out the band Unworthy Eyes...that's his old band, and they are all around AMAZING!!! Unworthy Eyes...RIP

[jacobdyer4]

LoL to the guy that said mattie sounds like josh of liyw...two way different sounds

[poorhungryhobo8]

OMG!!! i love his VOICE what are you talking about!! i f*in love this BAND!! they sound GREAT LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!

[Andrew7727]

this guy isn't as good as mattie. idk i just don't like this guys voice

[skalswitch13]

AHAHA bassist should learn to headbang..

(and me, i should learn to speak english :p)

[Whitemoon2011]

ahh mattie is a lot better with this style of music they play and im not hatin on matt either though. i think mattie puts on a better show too hes an awesome guy

[Piechickenman]

how come this guy left?

I'm glad he did

the unearth-style vocals don't fit the rest of the music

[widicuwous27]

mattie is so much better than this guy

[xoncenothingx]

whoa wait wheres mike? i love that guy! he reminds me of captian caveman :)

[xoncenothingx]

psych. nvm.

[xxdiexromanticallyxx]

i love for today!

i miss matt as the vocalist

but mattie is awesome too! :)

[jmtproductioncompany]

agreed

but mattie is really good

i think hes better

[xoncenothingx]

ya matt #2 is better in my opinion too

[TonsOfFun411]

Matts better, I like his style x10 more than mattie.

Mattie has a generic scream. Hes talented though.

[bigshuckbrnxbombers]

Matt is extremely generic also. He sounds exactly like Life In Your Way or It Prevails

[TonsOfFun411]

I see what you mean when you say Life in your way, It Prevails is more yelling than screaming. But theres only a few with that style. Also the fact that matt didnt really ever hold out his screams was different, had sort of a yelpy sound.

[emericashoes]

it prevails is BOSS

[bigshuck2]

haha, no lie dude

[entropy9206]

mattie is an awesome vocalist, but in my opinion they were best back when David was the vocalist as well as the drummer, I miss the good 'ol days. When they came to my town they played the breakdown from Your Moment Your Life Your Time damnit it brought back some good memories and gave me goosebumps!!!

[shotdrummerstix]

Did they play twice? Cuz when I saw them they had the crowd shout "RIDE EM COWBOY!"

[breakdownxhardcore]

For Today is no doubt one of the most talented bands to ever have played at sonshine. They were amazing.

[slayer666metallica]

god this is fuckin' ace. hahahaha I love these guys. pure talent.

[coryalwayswins10]

you guys should hear the new vocalist!!!

he's soo freakin tight!

[volcanoofsushi]

damn looks like fun. RIDE EM COWBOY

[kihner]

Sonshine was so amazing this year! I had a blast, did you?

[samp1013]

YAY, thats me and my friend that jumped on stage

[shotdrummerstix]

RIDE EM COWBOY!

[wearecute12]
