Third albums in an artists discography are really interesting to me. The first two albums are there chance to figure stuff and usually one or the other is the growing pains album. But the third album is where often the artist gets to shine. They’ve now spent years on the road and in the studio honing their craft and now get to show the best they have to offer, using all the skills and resources acquired during the first two albums. For this fictional band the third album is also their make it or break it chance. Record label contracts expire and expectations are either met or you are no longer useful to the industry. I love it when a band goes into a studio and makes a defining piece of work during these make it or break it moments. Songs From Below No Name Face were at a crossroads. After years of relentless touring and only a small following to show for it Singer Greg Wise announced he was ready to leave the band and go back to college. However the other members were not quite ready to give up and convinced him to stay on for at least one more album. Bassist Andy Webber and Guitarist George Packard took the lead on most the songwriting this album, choosing to go back to their roots as a church band and focus a good deal on God. They let this lead them to write songs of worship, repentance, and above all redemption. The group once again teamed with producer David Moon and crafted the album in Moon's private studio. Surprisingly these hopeful and honest anthems led to their biggest success as a band yet.
