Inspiring How UC That

Brian is here to shine the spotlight on one of his new favorite bands, the absolutely incredible The Warning! Begun in 2013 in Monterrey, Mexico, THE WARNING is comprised of the three Villarreal sisters: Daniela "Dany" (guitar and lead vocals), Paulina "Pau" (drums), and Alejandra "Ale" (bass). They achieved Internet viral fame at a very young age for their awe inspiring Youtube covers, most notably of Metallica's "Enter Sandman". Through their growth, you can see them become incredibly gifted musicians and songwriters. Led by Dany's enchanting rock voice, they have a unique sound that is at once fresh, and also reminiscent of some of the best classic rockers in music history! To date, The Warning have released one EP (2015's "Escape the Mind") and two full length LPs (2017's "XXI Century Blood" and 2018's "Queen of the Murder Scene"), and will be releasing their brand new EP "Mayday" later in 2021. With phenomenal songs such as "Evolve", "XXI Century Blood", "Dust to Dust", and Brian's favorite "Choke", we're excited to see what's next for the Villarreal sisters! They even recently teamed up with Alessia Cara to perform a mind-blowing reimagined version of "Enter Sandman" for Metallica's new Blacklist albums! So if you're looking for a band that will restore your faith in good old rock and roll, you NEED to check out The Warning!

ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS* Biographical information on The Warning from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Warning_(band)): The Warning is a Mexican rock band from Monterrey, Nuevo León, formed in 2013 by the Villarreal Vélez sisters: Daniela (guitar, lead vocals, piano), Paulina (drums, lead and backing vocals, piano), and Alejandra (bass guitar, piano, backing vocals). Their most recent album Error was released in June 2022. The Villarreal Vélez sisters were raised by a musical family in Monterrey, and all received training on various instruments at an early age. At some point in their childhood, Daniela and Paulina had selected guitar and drums as their primary instruments, respectively. When the youngest of the three, Alejandra, selected bass guitar as her primary instrument at about age 7, the sisters decided to form a rock power trio. They learned to play rock songs, often via the Rock Band video game series, and posted videos of their performances to YouTube. In 2014, 12-year-old Paulina was profiled in the women's drumming publication Tom Tom Magazine. The band first gained widespread notice later in 2014 when, at ages 9 through 14, their YouTube video in which they performed Metallica's "Enter Sandman" went viral among rock music fans, eventually earning more than 20 million views. The video received attention from Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett, who offered particular praise for Paulina, saying "The drummer kicks maximum ass!" Due to notice gained by their "Enter Sandman" video, The Warning decided to seek a record deal and develop their own songs. They raised money through a successful GoFundMe appeal to record the six-song EP Escape the Mind, which was released in 2015. During production of the EP, the band met producer Jake Carmona, who went on to contribute to Escape the Mind and their next three albums.

ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS* Biographical information on Chevelle from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevelle_(band)): Chevelle is an American rock band formed in Grayslake, Illinois, in 1995. The band was originally composed of two brothers, Pete Loeffler (lead vocals and guitar) and Sam Loeffler (drums and percussion), along with Matt Scott (bass and backing vocals). Scott was replaced by Sam and Pete's brother, Joe Loeffler, in 1996. When Joe left the band in 2005, Geno Lenardo subbed in as the touring bassist until he was replaced by Pete and Sam's brother-in-law, Dean Bernardini. Bernardini departed from the band in 2019, and in 2021, Kemble Walters joined the band as a touring bassist. The band's first studio album, Point #1, was released on a small record label called Squint Entertainment. Chevelle's second album, Wonder What's Next (2002), was certified double platinum by the RIAA after a debut at No. 14 on the United States albums chart, Billboard 200. This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In) (2004), the band's third album debuted at No. 8 and has been certified platinum. Chevelle has since released six more albums: Vena Sera (2007), Sci-Fi Crimes (2009), Hats Off to the Bull (2011), La Gárgola (2014), The North Corridor (2016), and their latest NIRATIAS (2021). Other releases from Chevelle include two live albums, two DVDs, and two compilation albums. As of 2022 the band has sold over 6 million records. Chevelle has been classified as hard rock, alternative metal, alternative rock, post-grunge, nu metal, and indie rock. The band's debut album Point #1 has been described as indie rock. The band's most popular albums, Wonder What's Next and This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In), are both described as nu metal. Wonder What's Next had been described as having a radio-friendly sound. Albums such as La Gargola and The North Corridor feature a heavier, more riff-oriented sound with lyrical themes influenced by horror. Their ninth studio album NIRATIAS incorporated elements of progressive rock and art rock along with a science-fiction theme. Their primary musical influences as stated by the band members are Helmet, Tool, and The Cure. Chevelle has frequently been compared to Tool throughout its career. Pete Loeffler's singing voice was stated to sound similar to that of Tool's Maynard James Keenan, and the band's music has been compared to Tool's "soft-loud vocal dynamics." According to Lauren Wise of Phoenix New Times, "[Chevelle have] never strayed far from their controlled chaos and somehow gentle rampage or their mix of dark magnetism and gothic pop (think early Tool meets The Cure if you haven't heard radio-dominating hits like "The Red")."

ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS* Biographical information on Fire From The Gods from their website (https://www.firefromthegods.com/): For some artists making music isn't a choice, it's fueled by something larger than themselves. This is undoubtedly true of Fire From The Gods whose second full-length American Sun sees them adopting the tagline “In Us We Trust” meaning “we the people” are responsible for change; a unifying statement in order to try to prevent society from succumbing to the growing malaise brought on by soul-sucking technology, divisive politics and environmental destruction. “With this record what we're trying to drive home is that our differences and where we are from doesn't need to define who we are moving forward,” frontman AJ Channer explains. “Like [2016's] Narrative I'm telling the story from my perspective, but it's a story that people from all walks of life can relate to in the sense that we all face the same challenges... and the only way to conquer them is if we face them together.” Fire From The Gods have experienced their share of ups and downs since the Austin, Texas-based act released their David Bendeth-produced (Breaking Benjamin, Paramore) debut three years ago. Since then, the band—which also features drummer Richard Wicander, guitarists Drew Walker and Jameson Teat and bassist Bonner Baker—have toured incessantly with acts like Sevendust and Of Mice & Men, played festivals ranging from the Vans Warped Tour to the country’s largest Rock festival, Rock On The Range, re-released their debut as The Narrative Untoldfeaturing new songs produced by Jonathan Davis of Korn and spread their message to fans all over the world. However instead of resting on their laurels, the act doubled down on their message with American Sun, their first album after signing with juggernauts Better Noise (fka Eleven Seven Music Group). “I think this record is a lot more personal because I've become a lot more open about who I am and what I've had to deal with,” Channer explains. Channer spent his childhood shuffling between London, New York, Los Angeles, Norfolk and Ghana, giving him a unique perspective on the world, however the issues that he's dealt with such as anxiety, depression, anger, rejection and loss are universal.

ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS* Biographical information on GFM from their website (https://www.thegfmband.com/about-gfm): If you enjoy the melodic content of Paramore, and the character themes of Slipknot, then you have found the perfect matchup in GFM. The three sisters of GFM started taking music lessons around the age of five, and all three ended up falling in love with music. As they grew up, they decided that they wanted to pursue this love for music professionally and have been putting blood and sweat into creating a business and career out of GFM. The most important goal of GFM is to use their gifts to reach people for God and to always spread a positive message. The stage is their home, and they want to share their home with their fans. GFM is not your average teenage girl band… they’re sisters for crying out loud. Their musical journey began in 2016 when they worked on their first album “Identity Crisis” with producers Jake Jones and Justin Forshaw (formerly of We as Human). In 2017, the girls went on their first U.S. tour, and the demand was so strong for GFM that they went out again the following year in 2018 on another U.S. tour, finishing out the touring season with their first trip to Germany for a festival. GFM was met with thousands of loving fans and instantly became a festival favorite. In 2019, GFM released their much-anticipated EP “Oh, The Horror!” after working with Eric Varnell and Billy Decker (Uncle Kracker, Sam Hunt). ​

ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS* Biographical information on Spiritbox from their website (https://spiritbox.com/pages/about): Having a hit song is one thing, but backing up that success in a sustainable manner is something else entirely. Tales of bands eaten up and spat out by the music industry after failing to build on early promise are commonplace, and it’s that fear of failure, of not living up to the hype, that can crush artists and stifle their creativity before they’ve had the chance to truly blossom. But that’s not the case for Spiritbox, a band who amassed 66 million streams before they’d dropped a debut album, growing that number to 155 million following the release of first LP Eternal Blue, which hit #1 on the U.S. and Canadian Rock and Hard Rock charts, and peaked at #13 on the Billboard 200. Formed in 2017 by husband and wife Courtney LaPlante (vocals) and Michael Stringer (guitar), Spiritbox are named after a device some believe is capable of communicating with the dead. There’s a gleeful sense of the paranormal running through all the band do, but despite their celestial stylings, this is a group of artists who are very much brimming with life and creating something remarkable with their music. The release of the single “Holy Roller” by the Canadian metal four-piece in July of 2020 was a runaway success, scoring the band – Courtney, Michael and drummer Zev Rosenberg – the No. 1 song of the year on Sirius XM and peaking at No. 25 on the Billboard Hot Hard Rock chart. And with Eternal Blue now out in the world, Spiritbox continue to usher in accolades. Gracing the cover of esteemed rock outlet Kerrang! – who, in a perfect 5/5 review, labelled Eternal Blue “the debut of the year” – Spiritbox are spreading their unique brand of metal far and wide, also appearing on the covers of Revolver, Poll Star, Metal Hammer and Rock Sound, and garnering support from the likes of Loudwire, Forbes, Billboard, AltPress and Spin. The elements that make Spiritbox such a special band – fierce intensity, unwavering emotion and technical splendour – are present across Eternal Blue, but the formula is never once repeated. Whether it’s the anthemic metal of “Circle With Me” – which reached #15 on the Sirius XM ‘Biguns’ 2021 countdown and #1 on Sirius XM Liquid Metal 2021 (making Spiritbox the first act to top the chart two years in a row) – or the ambient melodies of album closer and single “Constance” (#15 Billboard Hot Hard Rock chart), each of Eternal Blue’s 12 tracks bring something fresh to the table.

In today's Artist Spotlight, Kevin and Brian wanted to talk about a band that's a little different from other's we've previously discussed, and that's German heavy metal group FINSTERFORST! With their unique brand of folk metal, Finsterforst rights songs revolving around nature and German mythology.

ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS* Biographical information on Finsterforst from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finsterforst): Finsterforst is a German folk metal band from Schwarzwald, Baden-Württemberg, whose lyrical themes deal with nature, German myths, and fantasy worlds. Formed in 2004, the group has released five studio albums, one extended play and one compilation album. Finsterforst means "dark forest" and it is a reference to "Schwarzwald" ("black forest"), a wooded mountain range in the band's home state. Besides the usual line-up of instruments used in metal (electric guitars, bass, drums), the band's sound relies heavily on accordion melodies, with the occasional use of instruments, such as the tin whistle and the oboe. The band's genre is often dubbed pagan metal because of its use of harsh vocals. Several Finsterforst members also play in Cryptic Forest, a black-metal band from Schwarzwald, Baden-Württemberg. The band was formed at the end of the year 2004 by Tobias Weinreich, Sebastian "AlleyJazz" Scherrer, Simon Schillinger and Marco Schomas. Because the line-up was not complete, the group decided to focus on songwriting. Since the band felt it needed a real accordion-player, Johannes Joseph joined the line-up in the spring of 2005, followed by rhythm guitarist David Schuldis in October the same year. In spite of missing a drummer, the band booked Iguana Studios in Buchheim, Baden-Württemberg, and, at the end of December 2005, three songs were recorded with the help of a drum machine. The songs were released as the Wiege der Finsternis EP in March 2006. In early 2015 Finsterforst released their new studio album Mach Dich Frei. It was released on 23 January in Germany/Austria/Switzerland, 30 January in the rest of Europe and on 10 February in North America. Also in 2015, vocalist and accordionist Johannes Joseph left the band. In 2016, they released #YØLØ, which they refer to as an EP although they recognise some would call it an album. On 2 August 2019, they released the album Zerfall. It has only five songs, ranging from 8 to 36 minutes – the latter being their longest track to date, "Ecce Homo". A lyric video for a shortened version of it was released in July 2019.

ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS* Biographical information for Demon Hunter from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_Hunter): Demon Hunter is an American Christian metal band from Seattle, Washington, started in 2000 by brothers Don Clark and Ryan Clark. Although the brothers created the band together, only Ryan remains, since Don left the band to take care of his family. As of early 2010, the band has sold over half a million albums. The band's style is known for combining nu metal sounds and qualities with ones heard in metalcore. The name references historic and folkloric demon hunters. Don Clark stated, "I guess we liked to ride the fence. Then we got a little older, maybe wiser, and you know what, we're a Christian band. We're five dudes, we're all believers, we really don't want to ride the fence anymore." Ryan Clark claimed, "When we officially started we wanted to be very bold about it, we didn't see any purpose of just beating around the bush." Fans who are Christians are supportive of the band's bold faith position. "They respect that we don't walk the fence between a non-Christian and Christian band." According to an Esquire interview, after Metallica requested that the US military stop using their music during interrogations in Iraq, Demon Hunter allegedly contacted the US military, offering their music as an alternative, which was accepted. A Navy SEAL who claimed to have killed Bin Laden was quoted as saying "'[W]e stopped using [Metallica's] music, and then a band called Demon Hunter got in touch and said, "We're all about promoting what you do." They sent us CDs and patches. I wore my Demon Hunter patch on every mission. I wore it when I blasted bin Laden.'" The day after the story broke, Demon Hunter addressed the situation by saying they approved US servicemen wearing their patch, but they didn't volunteer their music, nor did they have any knowledge of it being used for interrogations.

ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS* Biographical information on Breaking Benjamin from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_Benjamin:) Breaking Benjamin is an American rock band from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, formed in 1999 by lead singer and guitarist Benjamin Burnley and drummer Jeremy Hummel. The first lineup of the band also included guitarist Aaron Fink and bassist Mark Klepaski. This lineup released two albums, Saturate (2002) and We Are Not Alone (2004), before Hummel was replaced by Chad Szeliga in 2005. The band released two more studio albums, Phobia (2006) and Dear Agony (2009), before entering an extended hiatus in early 2010 due to Burnley's recurring illnesses. Amid the hiatus, the release of a compilation album, Shallow Bay: The Best of Breaking Benjamin (2011), unauthorized by Burnley, brought about legal trouble within the band resulting in the dismissal of Fink and Klepaski. Szeliga later announced his departure in 2013 citing creative differences. Burnley remained the sole member of the band until late 2014, when the current lineup was announced, including bassist and backing vocalist Aaron Bruch, guitarist and backing vocalist Keith Wallen, guitarist Jasen Rauch, and drummer Shaun Foist. The band afterward released Dark Before Dawn (2015) and Ember (2018), which debuted at number one and three on the Billboard 200, respectively. Following these albums, the band released another compilation, Aurora (2020), featuring reworked acoustic versions of past songs along with one original new song. Despite significant lineup changes, the band's musical style and lyrical content have remained consistent, with Burnley serving as the primary composer and lead vocalist since the band's inception. The band has commonly been noted for its formulaic hard rock tendencies with angst-heavy lyrics, swelling choruses, and "crunching" guitars. In the United States alone, the band has sold more than 7 million units and yielded three RIAA-certified platinum records, two gold records, and several certified singles, including two multi-platinum, two platinum, and five gold.

ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS* Biographical information on All That Remains from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_That_Remains_(band)): All That Remains is an American heavy metal band from Springfield, Massachusetts, formed in 1998. They have released nine studio albums, a live CD and DVD, and have sold over a million records worldwide. The group currently consists of vocalist Philip Labonte, rhythm guitarist Mike Martin, former Diecast drummer Jason Costa, and lead guitarist Jason Richardson, with Labonte being the last remaining original member. In spite of this, the band's line-up had remained consistent from the release of 2008's Overcome until 2015's The Order of Things, spanning four albums. This line-up changed, however, in September 2015, when long-time bassist Jeanne Sagan left the band, with Patrick taking her place, and then again in February 2019, when the band confirmed that Jason Richardson would be joining the band to replace the deceased lead guitarist and original member, Oli Herbert. In 2021, Aaron Patrick parted ways with All That Remains to focus on his other band, Bury Your Dead. All That Remains has been described as metalcore, hard rock, melodic death metal, and heavy metal. All That Remains' music mixes "crushing" riffs, dual guitar harmonies, double bass drum patterns, and breakdowns that are prevalent in the metalcore genre. Vocally, the band combines singing, screaming, and growls. Phil Labonte's lyrics focus on themes such as relationships, personal struggles, society, and hope. All That Remains has been considered a notable act within the new wave of American heavy metal.

ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS* Biographical information on Zahna from her website (https://www.zahnaofficial.com/bio-miller): The explosive “Better Run!” is the first of things to come from Zahna, a riff-laden rocker that screams a challenge to those who abuse their power: “you run, better run, I'm not holding you back from everything you've done.” “Better Run” also inaugurates an independent era for Zahna, who is proving she can hold her own. That fresh confidence was born from years that tested every ounce of Zahna’s conviction. “The last three years have impacted me more than any other time in my life,” the singer and songwriter reveals. “I have learned how to be a wife, a business owner, a better singer, and my faith has been more deeply solidified in Jesus Christ. From the high of getting married and releasing a successful debut album Red For War during 2018, to immediately undergoing a difficult kidney transplant with a rocky recovery in 2019, these years taught me the value of life and how important it is to survive— no matter how difficult things may get.” Those survival instincts served Zahna well during the 2020 pandemic, when COVID-19 quickly shut down a headlining tour: “I had no idea that the lessons and resilience I had learned in the two previous years would be so imperative for me to navigate the pandemic.” Zahna spent the time off the road buckling down to write her strongest songs yet, supported by her husband and collaborator Patrick Madsen. The couple enlisted the skills of industry leaders Josiah Prince (Disciple) and Kellen McGregor (Memphis May Fire). The refining fire of the trials she’d lived ignited a fierce creative energy, creating a series of songs that will be released as a full album.

Kevin and Brian are back to talk about a fantastic female fronted rock band they've seen live, ICON FOR HIRE! Since their formation in 2007, this husband and wife duo comprised of Ariel Bloomer and Shawn Jump have released five studio albums, the latest being the independently released "Amorphous" in February 2021.

And we can attest from personal experience that their live show is energetic and extremely fun to experience. Both Ariel and Shawn are friendly and approachable individuals, making it easy to love them even more. Throughout their music, they have consistently focused on trying to help fans, particularly younger ones, through difficult times in their lives. Ariel even wrote an autobiographical book on the subject entitled "Turn Your Pain Into Art". Among the many Icon For Hire songs we love are "Off With Her Head", "Last One Standing", "You Can't Kill Us", and "Supposed to Be".

ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS* Biographical information for Icon For Hire from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icon_for_Hire): Icon for Hire is an American rock band from Decatur, Illinois. Formed in 2007, the band's current lineup consists of singer Ariel Bloomer and guitarist Shawn Jump. They released two EPs independently before signing to Tooth & Nail Records, through which they released their first two albums: Scripted in 2011 and Icon for Hire on October 15, 2013. Their third album, You Can't Kill Us, was independently released on November 25, 2016. Their album, Amorphous, was released on February 19, 2021. The band's sound combines pop punk and alternative metal elements with strings and electronics. Jamie Maxwell of Cross Rhythms describes them as a punk band, but notes that "the electronic influence evident in some of their tracks is a definite nod to the likes of Linkin Park and others in the nu metal mould." In describing the band's sound, lead singer Ariel has said that the band is "first and foremost just a rock band. That's where our roots are and where our hearts are. But a few years ago we started really getting into synths and programming. We love the combination of brutal, in-your-face riffs, with the fun candy of pop production sprinkled all over it." Influences cited by the band have included hard rock bands like Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, Pantera, Mötley Crüe, and Rage Against the Machine, as well as pop- and hip hop-oriented artists such as Skrillex, The Black Eyed Peas, Dessa, and Lady Gaga.

ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS* Biographical information for Godsmack from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godsmack): Godsmack is an American rock band from Lawrence, Massachusetts, formed in 1995. The band is composed of founder, frontman and songwriter Sully Erna, guitarist Tony Rombola, bassist Robbie Merrill and drummer Shannon Larkin. Since its formation, Godsmack has released seven studio albums, one EP (The Other Side), four DVDs, one compilation album (Good Times, Bad Times... Ten Years of Godsmack), and one live album (Live & Inspired). The band has released three consecutive number-one albums (Faceless, IV and The Oracle) on the Billboard 200. The band also has 25 top ten rock radio hits, including 18 songs in the top five. The band's seventh album, When Legends Rise was released on April 27, 2018. Since its inception, Godsmack has toured with Ozzfest on more than one occasion and has toured with many other large tours and festivals, including supporting its albums with its own arena tours. In honor of the band's success and the release of their sixth studio album, 1000hp, Mayor Marty Walsh declared August 6 as "Godsmack Day" in the city of Boston. Godsmack has been described as post-grunge, hard rock, nu metal,alternative metal, and heavy metal.] The band's primary influences include Aerosmith, Alice in Chains, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Pantera and Rush according to Erna, Larkin, and Rombola. Erna has cited Layne Staley as his primary influence. The overall sound of the band's first two albums have been compared to Alice in Chains' album Dirt.[120] However, Godsmack has attempted to distance themselves from the Alice in Chains comparison with Erna stating in an interview with Matt Ashare, "I've just never really heard that in our music." The band's music is often compared to Alice in Chains which the band cites as an influence. Adrien Begrand of PopMatters states, "Erna perfectly mimics the late Layne Staley's low, guttural, sinister singing and snarly, metal-inspired growls" and, "The band's music is a faithful retread of Jerry Cantrell's churning, tuned-down hard rock". Erna's singing style has been stated as "the snarl of James Hetfield", and "composed of dark harmony that sounds a lot like Alice in Chains". Merrill's bass style has been described as "bulldozer bottom with occasional slap-bass reverb". Larkin's drumming is thought to "worship at the twin altars of Neil Peart and John Bonham". And Rombola's guitar playing style has been praised as "guitars that sound like percussion instruments".

Brian is back with a very unique Artist Spotlight today, with an incredible Christian praise and worship singer/songwriter, Simon Khorolskiy!

With an intriguing folk country sound to his praise and worship songs, combined with an incredible voice that is reminiscent of Avi Kaplan, Simon has built a steady and loyal following on Youtube. The unique thing with Simon's music is that he sings many of his songs in his native Russian tongue (thankfully with English subtitles in the videos), while also doing many songs in English. Among the legion of incredible songs that Simon has created include "Have Mercy", "How Great Thou Art", "Holy Is The Lord", "Choose Life", and Brian's favorite "I Wonder As I Wander".

Hi there! My name is Simon, I am a singer based in Washington State, where I reside with my wife and 5 small children. Although I grew up in the United States, I was born into a Russian family that immigrated here in 1992 when I was two years old. Music has always been an important part of my life. After our Lord saved me and I grew in my personal relationship with Him, He has blessed me with a passion to sing and compose music for His glory. It is a great honor and privilege to wake up every day and be able to make music for a living. I find great inspiration for new songs in the Bible, many of them have been born while meditating on God’s word. In addition, the Pacific Northwest is full of God’s majestic natural beauty that I feature in my videos. It continually motivates me to praise and worship the Creator. My work is supported by viewer donations – not by a label or commercial company.

ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS* Biographical information on Veridia on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veridia): Veridia, often stylized in all capital letters as VERIDIA, is an American alternative rock band from Nashville, Tennessee. Formed in 2013, the group now consists of Deena Jakoub (vocals), Brandon Brown (guitar), and Kyle Levy (drums). The band's music has been charted on Christian rock and contemporary Christian music charts, although the band themselves reject this label. They released Inseparable EP in 2014 and Pretty Lies EP in 2015 on Word Entertainment/Curb, Warner Music Group. Summer Sessions Vol. 1 EP was released in 2016 as a free download. The Beast You Feed, their first full-length album, was independently released on October 26, 2018. They have been compared to Jesus music,[ contemporary Christian music, and female-fronted rock bands such as Flyleaf and Fireflight, their style fitting into alternative rock, and have been noted to have pop rock sounds. Signed to Christian record label, Word Records, they have been reviewed extensively by Christian media and have played and charted on Christian radio. Jakoub has attempted to distance the band from the Christian band label stating, "we've actually never classified our music as 'Christian rock', we have always been an alternative band on all formats." "I don't believe in using faith as a marketing tool, it's not a commodity. Just let an artist write from that place of vulnerable honesty, and let the listener connect through their own story."

ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS* Biographical information on Randall King from his website (https://www.randallkingmusic.com/): One of country’s new crop of modern traditionalists, Warner Music Nashville artist Randall King grew up on the endless plains of West Texas – and his sound is steeped in their timeless beauty, both gritty and graceful at the same time. He grew up singing in the back of a ‘93 Chevy Suburban, mimicking the pure-country vocals of stars like Keith Whitley, George Strait, Alan Jackson and John Anderson and over the years became drawn to the electrifying energy of modern stars like Eric Church, Dierks Bentley and Jason Aldean. After years of hustling and a road-warrior’s diet of 150 shows each year, King produced and released the defiant 2016 EP, Another Bullet, then followed up with a 2018 self-titled album. Now produced by traditional torchbearers Bart Butler and Ryan Gore (Jon Pardi), King is bringing an organic, timeless sound to country’s mainstream with his major label debut album Shot Glass. The 11-song collection, seven of which co-written by King, centers around a night out at a bar, with each track representing a different point of view of those in the room. With over 120+ million career streams to his name, the Pandora and Country Now 2022 Country Artist to Watch is looking to the anywhere-and-everywhere future with music that captures the essence of a Western poet who’s never been afraid to be himself.
