Of Pillar's release of For the Love of the Game, and the start of the band's ninth headlining tour, Pillar lead vocalist, Rob Beckley, exclaims. "We are so glad to be back on the road, interacting with our fans, sharing hope to all through the love of Jesus Christ and performing these brand-new songs. With the release of For the Love of the Game on Tuesday (2/26/08), that is just further reason to be thankful and excited for what we love to do. It's a great feeling to be carrying big production on this tour, and going back to our roots of putting on a great show for our fans. This really is the most fun we've had since Pillar began!"

Pillar's game is definitely on.
