WALKING
ON THE WATER - (Pamplin Records, 1998)
This
sophomore release, produced by John and Dino Elefante,
proves to
be mature lyrically as well as instrumentally. According
to Walter
(drummer/vocalist), "We wanted to focus on challenging
and
encouraging content, not just a feel good pop record."
The first radio release, "Heaven
out of Sight," is an apology to God for
misrepresenting him. "I remember the excitement
I felt when I accepted
Jesus as my Lord and Savior," states Renatto (lead
vocals). "The only
thing was, I started ridiculing my family for their
religiosity. All that did
was tick them off. We need to be bold in our walk but
we need to show
God's love too."
The second release, "Forefathers," touches
on how our country, which
was built on biblical truth, has gradually abandoned
what our currency
states, "In God We Trust."
"Hole Hearted," originally
recorded by the band Extreme, talks about how
we can fill our hearts with temporal happiness: drugs,
money, power, etc.,
when what we truly need is to fill the void in our
hearts with eternal joy,
Jesus!
With Dan Needham on drums, Jeff Roach
on keys, George Maranelli on
electric guitars, Bill Batstone along with Eddie Aguas
on acoustic guitars,
Matthew Pierce on bass, Walter Aguas on percussion
and all three Aguas
brothers on vocals, you'll find that this project will
prove to be spiritually
challenging and encouraging as well as musically pleasing |
