Q & A with Andy Rocker

"My King"

CHRIS AND CONRAD

Thought-provoking and epic, the soundscape of Chris and Conrad what your heart would describe as a welcome push towards a closer relationship with our Savior.  The positive messages from this rock duo will inspire your own direction in faith and spirituality.

The music of Chris and Conrad is a well-structured maze of aural intuition. Inspired by Jars of Clay, David Crowder and Lifehouse, Chris and Conrad also pull from the ranks of yesterdays mainstream hit makers such as Chicago, The Police and U2. Each instrument and sound lends purpose to each track.

EVER STAYS RED

Albums

On the Brink of It All (03.11.08)

Purchase this album on Amazon

Ever Stays Red was formed in the fall of 2002 and began recording their debut album for VSR Music Group in late 2007. Enlivened by the opportunity of an aggressively promoted international release, the band began writing with renewed energy and excitement. What has come out of those studio sessions is a refreshing blend of guitar driven rock, compellingly honest vocals, and spiritually gripping lyrics aimed to please fans of rock and roll and worship music alike. The heartbeat of the album is the band’s firm belief that the dreams that inspire us should never be allowed to die. "If the sky should fall, we will be alright, we'll take up shelter here, beneath these dreams that speak of what we will become," writes Carlson in the song Meant to Be, boldly setting to music a message Ever Stays Red has been living everyday for the past five years.

Abandoned to You (03.11.08)

Purchase this album on Amazon

Re:zound continues to break down musical barriers between rock and worship. With their new release Abandoned to You their heart for worship is more apparent than ever. As they continue their mission to spread the message of Christ’s unfailing love internationally, your support is critical to ensure they continue to see this vision complete.

The success of their previous trip to Vietnam in 2007 is undeniable, playing in front of crowds that reached an estimated 75,000 live and millions more over the government’s own television network. In this one trip thousands came forward seeking a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ. This band is bold and willing to push past any barrier that comes against the goal at hand. They have seen tremendous acts of God’s favor and blessing upon what they set out to accomplish for his glory, making history by being the first Christian artist to publicly worship in Vietnam.

OUT OF RUIN

Purchase this album on Amazon

Gram and Ben Messer, the heart of the musical group "Out of Ruin", have been recording and performing together for 13 years, giving these two brothers a special bond and chemistry. Starting a band in their teenage years, they knew performing and writing music would be a lifelong passion for the both of them.

After four tough years of writing, recording, and performing as a four piece rock band, the group splintered and left Ben and Gram unsure of what to do next. Feeling as though they needed a fresh start, Ben and Gram began writing songs on acoustic guitar and piano. Gram also set the drumsticks aside, and picked up a microphone to front the duo for the first time.

"Something almost magical happened," comments Ben. "When Gram started singing, he really feels the music deeply, and you can hear that in his voice. We knew we found what we were looking for!"

KELLY MACK

Phoenix-based singer/songwriter Kelly Mack’s compelling debut Take Me With You (VSR Music Group/EMI-CMG distribution) is sure to strike a chord with listeners and leave them wanting more. Expounding the intricacies of faith with beauty and charm, Mack delivers an 11-track project that resonates with decidedly intimate warmth and deeply reverential timbre. The project was released on October 14, 2008.

With wisdom and maturity that belies her age, Mack is forthright about her calling in life. " My passion is encouraging people," she says emphatically. "I’m just amazed at how God is using me to help people glorify and connect with Him."
