I don't want to sound like a jaded old man, but I'm a big believer in bands earning their success. Say what you will about a band that gets signed right to a major label with major label dollars behind them, but they will never know the kind of life that so many bands live when they pursue a career in music. They don't know what it's like to spend six weeks touring in a van only to come home with nothing more than a hand full of change and some great stories. It's no secret that life as an indie rock band is hard, but I don't think people really know how hard it really is.
Nothing brings a band together like adversity and Goodbye Tomorrow has seen their share of roadblocks in a pretty short amount of time. After signing with indie label Equal Vision Records about a year and a half ago, the band lost their original lead singer and were forced to pretty much start over from scratch with ex-Terminal singer Travis Bryant. After more line-up changes, the band has emerged as a completely different band that is blazing a unique trail for themselves. They have been on tour now for most of 2007 and will continue to be on the road after their Equal Vision debut in early 2008. They deserve all the success they are sure to get in the near future.
