Artist description Classic guitar rock is the best description of my sound: agressive guitars dominate a sonic landscape that ranges from straight ahead rock to psychedelic pop to surreal techno imagery. Jesus Christ is the focus of this ministry even when the lyrics may not specifically name Him. Music for believers and unbelievers alike, the message can be subtle or straight in your face.

Music Style Christian Rock with a message

Press Reviews This is a powerful guitar-driven album with lots of upfront positive music, CCM, and good old Jesus rock. Recommended. - The Critical Review October 1999 This is an album that grows on you. It's a good first listen, but a better second, third and beyond. - Paul Gentry CMCA David Patton's songwriting talents are not the only thing he does well. He rivals Phil Keaggy on his guitar playing ability, too. And with a voice that reminds this writer of Neil Young, the complete package becomes evident. - J.T's Christian Record Review
