There for Tomorrow formed in 2003 while all of its members were teenagers. They played locally and released a full-length album in 2004. After two regional runs on the Vans Warped Tour in 2006 and 2007, they met with James Paul Wisner, who produced their 2007 Pages EP. He returned to produce their self titled EP, released on August 5, 2008 with Hopeless Records. Just over three months later, the band won the MTVU Woodie Award for breakout artist of the year, beating established acts such as All Time Low and We The Kings.
