Ready or not - Here they come: DCB !

The David Crowder Band will perform at the Crown Arena on Sunday, April 13, 2008 at 6 p.m.. Their latest release, REMEDY, featured the band’s fastest charting single to date, “Everything Glorious” which moved up to No. 12 on R&R’s Christian AC Monitored chart and cracked the Top 10 on its Christian AC Indicator chart, only seven weeks since its add date. The song was first performed live at Passion ’07 in Atlanta and has been a set list favorite throughout the band’s touring schedule this spring and summer. Other highlights on the album include a special guest appearance by the “Motor City Madman” Ted Nugent on “We Won’t Be Quiet,” the energetic and driving “Neverending,” and the synth-laden dance track “Can You Feel It?”

David Crowder states, “We perceive music as a means of empathizing with one another and enunciating something common among us in our experiences of life and faith. Our band’s latest musical offering is for us the next available step in this journey; musically, lyrically, and thematically it is the sound of one foot coming down firmly in the present while the other simultaneously rises, exiting the space previously occupied, throwing our weight in a forward direction of momentum and consequence toward whatever lies ahead.”

REMEDY offers ten tracks that are arguably the most accessible and pop centric of the band’s career while at the same time diving deep into the theology of worship and what it means to be a part of the remedy that people around the world seek on a day to day basis. Whether it is a cure for AIDS, bringing an end to extreme poverty or the seemingly endless violence and aggression around the world, the need for change is evident. On this album, David Crowder Band addresses the obvious need for an ultimate remedy, yet knows that words and songs can do little to create change. They are mindful however that in recent history, songs and popular music acted as a catalyst for such change and gave voice to movement. With REMEDY, the hope is to inspire action.
