I know of some really great music. I tell people whenever I can, but I feel like at this point its blog-worthy.
Three words: United Pursuit Band.
Last year my friend Brittani gave me their CD and it didn’t leave the CD player in my car until I sold it to pay for the trip. Their a group of Christians and their sounds is just different. Which I like. Within my group of friends they were well known and so I assumed everyone already knew about it.
Enter The World Race.
After Ignition Training Camp some of us Texas Racers got together and spent a day at the lake in Austin and just got to know each other a little better. Grant and I were talking music and I got to direct his ears to the sweet sounds of UPB. I passed the CD on and was stoked a couple weeks later when he told me that he learned a couple of the songs for a worship concert he was putting on before he left for the Race. Since then he’s led us in worship with those songs countless times. The song “Fill Me Up” has become especially significant for us as we pour out more and more of ourselves here on the Race. So even out here, I’m passing on their music every chance I get.
But I decided not to wait for people to ask me about it to share it. Why not just tell everyone I can about it all the time? This is my widest-reaching medium of communication these days, so I thought I’d advertise some music that, for me, has made a HUGE impact on my walk with the Lord and continually inspires me to obedience and worship.
Their EP is great and is what I’ve had the most exposure to, so I recommend that one for sure. But when I started to write this blog I decided to get all the nad’s info to pass on. It was then that I discovered they have TWO new CDs! Radiance has a lot of songs from their EP but the new tunes are definitely worth lending your ears their way. And then they partnered with Will Reagan to create In the Night Season which I’m loving and is basically just a whole separate CD of new music. (My newest fav: “Break Every Chain”)
I’m no musical expert, but if you want some new music that will encourage you and spur you on towards the Father then head over to iTunes, download their music, and get filled up!
