All Things New
Price 10.10 - 19.75 USD
A band of fresh-faced 21-year-olds may not be the average person"s most obvious source for life wisdom and spiritual depth, but the risk is worth the reward at least with All Things New, the surprisingly insightful act signed to BEC Recordings. On the surface, singer Garrett Hornbuckle, drummer Luke Wycuff, bassist Joshua Schou, and guitarist Jeff Stein are young, easygoing, and stylish: two guys met playing junior high baseball together and music runs in several of their families. But dig a little deeper and you"ll find Godly men who know too much too soon about broken homes, broken faith, and broken hearts. Although the members of this worshipful, contemporary, and often folksy Florida quartet could talk about their childhood like it was yesterday because it practically was the songs they write and sing on their self-titled debut album already contain the clarity of a hard-won life lesson: things break apart in this world, but God restores them. From those experiences, All Things New wrote its first single, "New Man," a strong opening statement about how God creates beauty from ashes. Combining heartfelt vocals, muscular musicianship, and a graceful string section, the song grips listeners with a compelling force comparable to chart toppers like Tenth Avenue North. "That one"s just an awesome thing to have been part of such a God-breathed song," says Luke who contributed to the lyrics after reading Isaiah 61:3. "I"m just so moved by it and am pumped up knowing people will hear the message within "New Man ." All Things New will be releasing their debut album on BEC Recordings April 9, 2013. They will be supporting the record on the God"s Not Dead! Spring 2013 tour with Newsboys and Building 429.
