Classic rock band DECEMBERADIO has been making headlines since its debut initially hit the shelves, garnering a GRAMMY ® nomination, a DOVE Award win for Rock Album of the Year, three DOVE nominations and several hits including Song of the Year nominee “Drifter.”  The band’s recent sophomore release was named one of the Top 10 Critics Pick Albums of the Year by ChristianityToday, CCM Magazine and The Gospel Music Channel.   DECEMBERADIO is known for their rousing stage performances and gutsy, guitar expertise.  Whether opening a NASCAR event with songs like “Dangerous” or filling the AC radio airwaves with hit ballads such as “Find You Waiting,” the foursome has brought a defining sound and energy to the world of Christian music.

This pop-rock band has had a busy year signing with INO Records and releasing their new self-titled album digitally. Now they are preparing to release VOTA to all stores nationwide on Feb. 10, 2009. Produced by Nathan Dantzler (Relient K, Audio Adrenaline, Tree63) the 11-track album exerts high-energy artistic sounds, taking cues from the players’ previous alternative dichotomy and adding dance elements influenced by dance poppers Maroon 5 to ethereal rockers Augustana.

Coming from Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, Bread of Stone was formed by two brothers Ben (vocals) and Bill Kristijanto (guitar) and later joined by friends, Jeremi Hough (drums) and Tim Barnes (bass) When asked about the significance of the name “Bread of Stone," they state we are all merely stones that God turns into bread to feed the hungry and that without Him, no one can accomplish good in this downfallen world.
