KUTLESS - Featured Artist of the Week

It's been a while since my last entry for our featured artist of the week; I have just been a bit busier than normal lately. Anyhow, I believe it's right about time I do another one this week. For our featured artist of the week I went back to my early college days when I had my binder notebooks covered with bible verses and pictures of contemporary bands. During those times, when instead of an iPod, I had my trusty walkman play DC Talk and Jars of Clay.

Christian Contemporary music has come a long way since the 90s and one particular band stood out from my playlist. Kutless is a Christian rock band from Portland, Oregon formed in 1999. Since then the band has made a strong name for itself currently selling 2 millions records. The one thing I love about this band and why I think they stand out from the rest is how their songs "reflect the ways these men are growing in spirit, in creativity, and into one of today’s most exciting, thoughtful rock-meets-worship collectives".


"Strong Tower" was the first song I heard from the group and it talks about how we can find strength in our Lord. The album of the same title peaked at No. 87 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Their song "Sea of Faces" from their second full-length album of the same name talks about how every man is special in the eyes of God that no matter how vast the world may be and how many millions of people there are, God sees each and everyone of us.

Recently, the band released their 7th album Believer on February 28, 2012. It topped the iTunes Christian albums sales chart. It debuted at No. 36 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Christian Albums chart for the week of March 17, 2012.

The fourth single from the Believer album, "Even If", talks about waiting on God and trusting Him even if the we don't get all the answers we want.

Kutless is Jon Micah Sumrall on lead vocals, occasional rhythm guitar, and piano, James Mead on guitar and backing vocals, Dave Luetkenhoelter on bass guitar, Nick DePartee on lead guitar and backing vocals, and Kyle Peek on drums.

The name Kutless came from Romans 6:23 "Christ took our beating and paid the wages of our sin". He took our cuts for us leaving us..."Kutless".
