I really dig it. Somewhere around here I have an old Will McGinnes interview. It was from the Zombie tour.

wow!! nice song

How many bands can members of DC Talk front?

If you're going to bring back Audio A, and you want to make a big splash, and Mark's voice is shot, is there really anyone else that could have to front the band?

Listened to it and it didn't do anything for me... Feels like I've heard this 100 times before - and it didn't do anything for me those other 100 times either.

Kind of like it, and would like to hear more before I give a thumbs up. I will say that during AA's heyday I was not a big fan; I saw them in the early 90's at a festival and you could tell that alot of the sound was prerecorded.

I watched a live clip from an event they did in Nashville. It was another decent song with a good lyric. I'm guessing they pulled it in favor of making this one their first official release.

Three at one time (Michael - Newsboys, Kevin - AA, Toby - ...), but I guess as many as they want to lol

Same here.

Ditto.

Wonder what people thought about them in Tulsa tonight....

I've been listening to this song nonstop for the past week... Someone on a Compassion International forum posted it there, since we were having a discussion on songs relating to missions/sponsorship/whatever. I remember hearing it a while back and was okay with it, but it really stuck with me this time around... the story behind it is pretty amazing too.

Ya know, I just remembered this the other day. Way back in 96, when the Creation Festival was moved due to flooding conditions, I end up camping next to a guy from Ohio. We've been camping together ever since. Anyway, he's a good friend of Dave Ghazarian, guitarist for AA. My friend took Dave to one of his first Christian concerts, which happened to be a Petra show. Cool Petra connection there. I'll bet he would cite Petra as influencing him to get into Christian music.
