Barfield and Scott Krippayne (with added lyrics by Brian and Jason), Nicole Nordeman's lovely "Please Come," "How Great" by Ed Cash (a live cut that features audience call and response), Chris Tomlin and James Reeves Lincoln Brewster's "Love the Lord," Nathan Arnold' "Grace" and Laurie Klein's gorgeous "I Love You, Lord." A welcome surprise is the 11th "tune," a tour-de-force beatbox talk and demonstration by Brandon Bell. "Before" has 10 richly-harmonic songs that feature state-of-the-art vocal percussion by group members Brandon, Jason and Steve, and some of the best faux trumpet (actually, it sounds like a whole trumpet section) we've heard on the title tune and "Somebody's Watchin'." Other favorites are an original by group member Brian Sell, "I Cry," "Unleashed" by Wm. Now, 6 excellent CDs and one live DVD in the PAC catalog, and a whole lot of wonderful live performances later, "Before the Throne" shows just how well these talented, deeply spiritual men have fulfilled their commitment. Review: Formed in 1996, Gresham, OR-based Contemporary Christian male quartet Rescue dedicated themselves to a ministry of learning, writing and performing a cappella songs. Rescue has also had the privilege of opening for artists such as Nicole Nordeman, Acappella and Scott Krippayne. Other highlights include performances at MusiCalifornia and the National Church Music Conference. Highlights of recent performances include appearances at the CreationFest West and Spirit West Coast Festivals, TV appearances on Good Day Oregon and AM Northwest, and visits to hundreds of churches in the US. After the release in February of 1999, the response to the CD lead to an overwhelming amount of ministry opportunities for the group. Together they formed a quartet and committed to learning, writing and performing a cappella songs.Īfter independently raising funds, Rescue entered the studio in November of 1998 and recorded their first CD. Having had previous conversations regarding a shared passion for singing, Jason got in touch with high-school and college friends Jason McKenney, and former members: Chad Krober and Matt Lusk. Impressed with his performance, his professors urged him to pursue his musical talents in the field of a cappella music. It all started in the spring of 1996 when Jason Overstreet had just finished his senior college recital, in which he had written and performed several a cappella songs. With the doors that the Lord is continuing to open, Rescue is looking to take their music to every corner of the globe. Influences include the well-known Take 6, Rockapella, and Acappella. Their sound is described as fresh and exciting, as they have developed their own captivating style that brings listeners into an entertaining and worshipful arena. Rescue is drawing in listeners of all ages.
