Last week, Grammy-Nominated Aaron Gillespie (Underoath, The Almost) flew into Baltimore to produce our new album being released on 4.3.12. Originally, we had planned to call the album “The Red Sea EP”, however, as the songwriting, re-writing, demos, and actual recording began to take form, we quickly realized that this album had a much different meaning.

As Aaron Gillespie learned about what our band does “off stage” (The Hunger Strike, child sponsorship with Food for the Hungry, living amongst the poor, etc), he mentioned that our band is an example of how followers of Jesus should “Love on the outside”. As we recorded the 5 best songs that we have ever written, the album took on a tone of passionate worship & lyrics challenging the listener to simply “do what the Bible says”. (Don’t worry rock fans, we still have some good rock anthems on the record for you).
Therefore, today, we are happy to announce that the new name of our E.P. being released in April is: Love on the outside E.P. (Produced by Aaron Gillespie) We plan to release the 1st single off of this album in February. *(All pre-orders & kick-starter pledges for “the red sea e.p.” will be honored towards this album).
