About Kutless:
Since
signing to BEC Recordings in 2001, Kutless has transformed from a new rock band
to a staple artist in the industry that has multi-format, top-charting hits,
sold millions of records and more than eight million streams. Launched by original
members Jon Micah Sumrall (lead vocals) and guitarist James Mead, the band
formed first as a modern rock/worship band at Warner Pacific College in
Portland in 2000. Kutless has two RIAA Gold-selling albums for Strong Tower and
Live from Portland. The band has had 12 No. 1 radio singles across all
formats including their major hits "Strong Tower,” "What Faith Can
Do" and "Carry Me To The Cross.”
After
more than 15 years together and reaching fans around the world, Kutless
continues to be focused on sharing the Gospel with a younger generation that is
searching for answers.
“We
really believe that music can make a difference in people’s lives,” shares Jon
Micah Sumrall. “Music is an incredibly powerful tool that can break down walls
and allow us to communicate a message of hope to people who may not listen
otherwise. We are still recording and performing because we really do believe
it makes a difference. We hear stories all the time from people who share with
us how a concert or a song has radically impacted their life, and it’s these
types of testimonies that keep us going year after year.”
In 2012,
Kutless formed EOTA Ministries (End of The Age) to expand their evangelistic
outreach around the globe. EOTA is the non-profit arm that aids Kutless in hosting
large, free outreach concerts and events. In 2015, they partnered with other
organizations to bring concerts to Kiev, Ukraine and other cities for six
events - the largest of their kind in that country. The next year, Kutless
returned to 11 cities in Ukraine as well as in Belarus, a communist country,
where more than 100,000 heard the Gospel and over 40,000 commitments to Christ.
With
their upcoming album ALPHA / OMEGA, Kutless has created a collection of
rock and worship songs of both original and cover tracks that are true to who
the band has been for the last 17 years. They wanted to create a project that
would engage the Christian community and have the greatest impact. The songs
are true to who the band is at their core - rock and worship. ALPHA / OMEGA features
a new version of “Strong Tower” as well as the debut radio single “King of My
Heart.”
My Thoughts
I am really enjoying this album by Kutless. While many of the songs I already know (they are common worship songs) there were a few that I wasn't familiar with. The songs that I did already know, they did a wonderful job in keeping it the way I had heard it. Many times people take an original song and make it sound totally different (this is a pet peeve of mine). Kutless did not do this I made me enjoy the songs even more. If you enjoy great music this is the album for you!
