Kutless

For this album, lead singer Jon Micah Sumrall set pen to paper to craft a dozen more cuts of intensely personal reflections that also connect with relational appeal across an alt-rock centring that ranges from bone crunching to heart wrenching.

The album is packed with the band’s boldest artistic statements to date, stemming in part from work with producer Pete Kipley (The Afters, MercyMe, Phil Wickham). The band also added extra fuel to the fire by packing their bags for London, England and setting up shop in the famed Abbey Road Studios (The Beatles) to record with the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic.

Seeking out world changers in the lost corners of a generation, Superchick noisily challenges the status quo, while journaling the band members’ battles with depression and cancer in the quieter moments of the record.

Trevor McNevan from Thousand Foot Krutch guests on “So Beautiful” and “Kick It”.

The Myriad

Seattle-based quintet The Myriad strives to be as much a musical vision as it is a band.

Matt Maher

For singer/songwriter/worship leader Matt Maher, there is nothing more special about his call than anyone else’s, and like those before him, he is trying to live that same call, as his 12-track debut album’s title states, to be made Empty & Beautiful.

Maher breaks open these two simple words on the project in songs that are both corporate and reflective, driving and soft -  each one telling the story from a different perspective.

Several of Matt’s songs have been recorded by other artists, including “Your Grace Is Enough” (Chris Tomlin) and “Unwavering” (Bethany Dillon).

Although Matt now makes his home in Arizona, he was born and raised in Newfoundland.
