any crap from us," laughs Montgomery. The
album also features three guest artists: Sonny
Sandoval from P.O.D. on "The Only Name,"
Jake Luhrs from August Burns Red on "Set
Apart," and Tommy Green from Sleeping Gi-
ant on "Under God." For Today's three previ-
ous albums Ekklesia (2008), Portraits (2009)
and the aforementioned Breaker have sold
more than 75,000 copies, combined.
Montgomery feels that For Today's music
needs to be more meaningful to their fans
than just an outlet for teen angst. "I meet a
lot of the kids that come to For Today shows
and I've realized that a lot of them don't have
strong father figures in their lives," says the
singer, who is also a married father. "Whether
it's through divorce, death, or their fathers just
being emotionally detached, they need some-
one to enter their lives and tell them, "I love
you and I'm proud of you." That's something
that is really important for me right now. I
want to be someone in these kids' lives that is
an example worth following, and more impor-
tantly, let them know that I see the value in
them and what they do."
For Today has delivered their positive message
to the masses, playing over 1,000 shows on
five continents, since their formation in 2005.
The band has shared the stage with everyone
from The Devil Wears Prada and We Came
As Romans to Emmure and August Burns
Red. But as popular as For Today is poised to
become, Montgomery's heart remains in one
place: "No matter how popular we become,
we'll never downplay our faith and relation-
ship with God."
"Across the earth, we stand as one. We are
not dismayed by the darkness that surrounds
us here, because we know that when all hell
closes in, if we stand and fight, we are not
alone. Though we walk through the valley of
the shadow of death, we will fear no evil for
you are near." For Today
