Hawk Nelson Artist Profile

On the title track and opening song of its fourth album, Hawk Nelson urges its listeners to “Live Life Loud." That sentiment, founding member Daniel Biro notes, is “as Hawk Nelson as Hawk Nelson gets."It's not just a matter of volume, mind you; it's a philosophy. The Hawk Nelson we hear on Live Life Loud knows how to do just that -- How to live life at the extreme that the title suggests is embracing all of life, accepting and even celebrating a little pain and darkness and finding a way to let it enrich life. From the high-octane anthems “Never Enough,” “Eggshells” and “Alive” to the melancholy “The Final Toast,” “Lest We Forget” the string-laden “The Meaning of Life” and the adapted hymn “‘Tis So Sweet” the Hawk Nelson we hear is a bit more serious but also richer and more complete, a group that's comfortably "growing up," but without losing the brash spirit of punk rock that's fueled its music during the past seven years. "It's funny," Biro acknowledges, "because contrary to the title of Live Life Loud, there are more acoustic songs on this album and more deep issues. I don't know if it's part of maturity or being four albums in, but we're definitely at a point where we can have fun -- a lot of fun -- but still go places that are a bit more serious."And by doing that, Biro and his mates – singer-frontman Jason Dunn, guitarist Jonathan Steingard and drummer Justin Brenner -- have also crafted their most accomplished album yet, an 11-song set that sweeps from the manic to the mellow and all points in between. Dunn may sing "Can we get back to the basics?" in "Long Ago," but Live Life Loud’s breadth speaks to a more advanced level of ambition."Stylistically, we're not one genre. You can't pinpoint us," Biro agrees. "Sometimes you struggle with a bands identity -- Who are we? What are we? Hawk Nelson has always been known for fun, lively, catchy, poppy hook songs. That's not a bad thing. That's something we've accepted. It's a big part of who we are. We're just trying to find out how to be the best Hawk Nelson we can be. That's what we've always really tried to do."That exploration started in 2003 in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada where Biro and Dunn first played as SWISH before changing the group name after signing with Tooth & Nail Records via the patronage of Thousand Foot Krutch frontman Trevor McNevan, who's remained a friend and collaborator. Doors quickly flew open for the group, which was named Favorite New Artist by CCM magazine. Hawk Nelson has been nominated for a Grammy, Juno and GMA Dove awards, and its 2006 sophomore album Smile, It’s The End Of The World, was named Modern Rock/Alternative Album of the Year at the GMA Canada Covenant Awards. The video for its song "The One Thing I Have Left" hit No. 1 on the VH1 Top 20 countdown, and the songs "Bring 'Em Out" (recorded for the film "Yours, Mine and Ours") and "The Show" have been used in commercials for NBC's "Sunday Night Football." Hawk Nelson also portrayed The Who in an episode of the NBC drama "American Dreams."With all of their successes Hawk Nelson has also continued to give back to the community and those less fortunate. They recently partnered with TOMS shoes to provide shoes to children in Haiti as part of TOMS “One for One” initiative. For the band’s effort, every pair of shoes purchased via Hawk Nelson’s website equals a pair of shoes that TOMS donates to a child in Haiti towards the band’s ongoing involvement with the Hands & Feet Orphanage. Hawk Nelson has also partnered with TOMS to release a shoe designed by the band in the fall of 2009.Live Life Loud follows 2008's Hawk Nelson Is My Friend and its Grammy-nominated album package. The band decided to go back to where it all began and closed ranks in its current home base of Nashville. As Biro explains, "We were like, 'OK, what do we want to do. Forget what everyone else is saying. Let's go back to square one when we were in the garage and the church basement and find out what we love about doing this.' Let's just do what we've done, but do it better. “I think it was a normal re-evaluation point a lot of bands go through around this point in their careers."This time out Hawk Nelson decided to go with producer Steve Wilson, with whom the group had worked on the Christmas EP Gloria with and hunkered down in his garage studio in Music City. "We really liked him," Biro says, "and working with someone who's young and hungry for it helped make us believe in music again."Live Life Loud also marks the first time Hawk Nelson wrote songs by "getting together as a band and jamming together," though it also collaborated with friends such as McNevan and TobyMac. The album was recorded in two different sessions, bisected by a hectic touring schedule; a process that Biro says let the group gain some perspective as they were working. "We were able to sit back and say, 'OK, it doesn't quite feel like a record. What do we need?' So when the second session came around, it was more like filling in the blanks."That was when some of the "more heartfelt" material started to surface for Live Life Loud. Dunn first wrote "The Final Toast" to sing at the funeral of his grandfather. "The Meaning of Life" grew out of a conversation with co-writer Matthew Gerrard. After hearing an inspiring hymn in church, the band felt it was time to do that type of a song, which brought “'Tis So Sweet” to the table; and they’re still amazed that Wilson was able to find a bagpipe player in Nashville to give the song more sonic weight.Hawk Nelson will continue to Live Life Loud as the album rolls out, maintaining its typically heavy touring schedule and giving the new album's songs a life alongside the others in its catalog. "There's nothing better than starting a song, new or old, and having people sing or shout it back to you," Biro says. "When they know it and they feel it, that's when it feels like a success."

Thousand Foot Krutch Artist Profile

Talk about veterans of the genre. Thousand Foot Krutch is a staple of the Christian rock scene, and though the lineup has changed erratically since the band's start (vocalist Trevor McNevan being the only founding member still active), the band has always been well-respected for their shameless lyrical honesty as well as their inhibitions to rock hard. With a grand track record behind them, the bar has been raised. Does Welcome To The Masquerade, their fifth major release, continue the trends that made TFK the monumental Christian rock legends they are? The answer: yes, and then some. "The Invitation" serves as the lead-in intro to the title track, and while usually I don't care for intro tracks, this one works well to give the whole album a strong, epic beginning. From the intro, we are led into the opening riff to "Welcome To The Masquerade." It's pounding and intense, perfectly starting things out. After this point, it should be apparent to a seasoned listener of the band that Welcome To The Masquerade is a much more produced effort than previous ventures. While the sound is more polished, the band's signature edginess is retained, and this makes for an amazing result. "Fire It Up" follows, and this is the track that really proves to be one of the best implemented on the record. The whole "pump-it-up" concept for songs has been done time and time again, but here, Thousand Foot Krutch has taken it to a whole new level. With a monster guitar riff and aggressive vocals to accompany it, it's the perfect party starter. The lyrics aren't particularly deep or profound, for the type of song that it is, they fit like a glove ("I've got a bad case of turning it up/It's getting cold in here, so somebody fire it up"). Next up is "Bring Me To Life." When I heard this track through Taco Bell's Feed the Beat contest (of which TFK was one of the three winners, I might add), I thought it was quite epic, maybe too epic for a single, as well as believed the sound to be somewhat pretentious. In hearing the whole album straight through, however, its place in the track-listing fits quite well. "E For Extinction" continues the fast-paced hard sound, and lyrically, it's one of the more innovative songs on the release. The fast-paced melodies show up later in "The Part That Hurts the Most (Is Me)" and "Scream," both of which are as meaningful and hard-rocking as the previous tracks, without managing to fall into going through the motions. TFK slows things down a bit on a few occasions, as well. "Watching Over Me" acknowledges the Lord's presence and concern for our well-being in the midst of adversity ("I know You're out there, and I know You care, 'cause I feel you like an angel watching over me"). It's almost Skillet-esque in composition, but there's enough distinctiveness to not fall into a mold. "Look Away" is another slower ballad, which almost seems more akin to an FM Static (McNevan's side project with drummer Steve Augustine) track than it does a TFK one, but nonetheless, it's a very inspirational track in the bunch. Speaking of inspirational, "Forward Motion" is probably the most inspirational track on the disc, and that's saying a lot taking into account the whole album's optimistic concept. It's actually a very unique track musically, with the dirty guitar sound mixed with some pop flavorings. It just proves further how versatile Thousand Foot Krutch really is, as they can even pull off a "pop" sound with dexterity. While the tracks "Outta Control" and "Smack Down" are admittedly not quite as memorable as the rest of the album, they are still tracks I could see being fan favorites in the future, especially "Smack Down" (Yes, the title says it all; it's an arena anthem in every sense of the word.) "Already Home" closes the 13-track set, and it could not have been executed better as a closer to complete this fantastic album. Lyrically, this is the album for those who need encouragement. The titles of the songs give it away completely ("Bring Me To Life," "Already Home," "Watching Over Me" just sound like optimistic titles, don't they?), and with the theme of uncovering our shames and secrets throughout, the title of the album correlates flawlessly. And while this element to the record is of the least importance and doesn't reflect the music itself, to top it all off, Welcome To The Masquerade's cover artwork is some of the best I've seen in years. Besides its obvious connection to the album's title, it's edgy, epic, charismatic, and charmingly misleading. All in all, TFK dons a more produced approach to hard rock this time around while at the same time maintaining the unrestrained and raucous vibe the band is known for. And this being the fifth album from the Canadian band, there's a progression here that many old and new fans have waited to hear. What's made the difference? Could the return of Aaron Sprinkle as producer be the reason (who also produced the much-acclaimed Phenomenon), or has the band just hit an apex musically through their experience? Welcome To The Masquerade has taken everything that made the band great and turned it all up by a few notches. While moving forward, they don't forsake their previous work either (the flame emblem from the last album's cover is highlighted here as well). But it's the little improvements that go a long way, and Thousand Foot Krutch has crafted a record that will go down as one of the best, if not the best, of their career.

#61 - "Believe" by Skillet

John Cooper: [This song is] about believing in the relationship and not giving up even though there are hard times.

One of Christian music’s top-selling rock bands, GRAMMY®-nominated Skillet, returns with its latest recording capturing the raw energy and multi-textured sonic landscape for which they have become known. A mixture of dissonant chords, anthemic builds and memorable vocal interpretation combine to form a progressive, yet classic rock-influenced sound that’s all their own. Skillet’s straightforward message and innovative sound has garnered the band seven #1 songs and an avid fan base.Pounding, classically influenced rock with a progressive edge, colored by dissonant chords, and gutsy vocals are all found on Skillet’s latest release, Awake. Relevant, innovative and unforgettable, Skillet continues its tradition of a straightforward, in-your-face gospel message of hope.I recently spoke with John Cooper about his song “Believe,” my favorite song from Awake. You can listen to our entire conversation here. Please tell me the personal story behind writing this song?"Believe" was the last song we decided to add to the record. It barely made it on to Awake. The song didn’t make it on the pre-release copy. What people liked about it was the fact that it is a love song that doesn’t sound like a love song. It sounds more real. It’s a really honest love song. It’s about believing in the relationship and not giving up even though there are hard times. Sometimes you might be fighting and say dumb stuff, and you know you can work it out but what we really need to know is that our significant other still believes in us.That married couple picture for me fits the picture of Christ and The Church with us being the one that says and does the dumb stuff and then asks for Christ to still believe in us.
