Todd Anthony Joos and the Revelators: Press

I went to a live concert at The Refuge Rock in Cedar Rapids Iowa last week featuring "Todd Anthony Joos and his band the Revelators". They were outstanding! They are the real deal. I've seen many live Christian concerts and a lot of them are major label national touring Christian acts. Very few of them are as good with their music as these guys were. Plus the message that came from Todd Anthony Joos was obviously anointed by God. I was so blessed and impressed that I bought this CD Sundays at Church. Let me tell you, IT ROCKS!! It has not left my CD player in the car for over a week now. I can't wait to see Todd and his band live again!

People, you really need to get this album!! The thing I like best about Todd Anthony Joos is that his music is real and he's not afraid to tell it like it is. Just listen to the title cut "Sundays at Church" and you will hear something that most of us that have gone through when it comes to our relationships with other Christians. The Chorus says it all, "and all the tears I cry are drops of pain flowing into a river of doubt. But still they push and persecute me. We're all Gods children, made from the Fathers hands. I wish you'd see I'm just a child of the Lamb." Then in the song "Faith" the second verse starts out with, "Sometimes the church is cold lonely place full of evil. And it's only through God's devine grace that we can keep climbing up these hills. So rise to your feet raise your hands to the Lord put real meaning behind the words that you say. And reach out to your sisters and brothers. Hold them up with the words that you pray." So again, you really need to get this

I am always on the lookout for better choices I can make when it comes to music and entertainment. The internet has been a big help in this process. There are a lot of Christian artist out there that I would not know about if it wasn't for the web. Really that's a shame, but that's a topic for a much longer post. So I found this guy Todd Anthony Joos on Myspace. I sent him a note and told him how much I enjoyed his music. I didn't figure he would even respond. Most of the time the artist that are on myspace never do. I think many of those sites are run by fans or record co.'s. So to my surprise he wrote me back and he was really cool. I've bought music through Cdbaby before but he told me his page wasn't up yet so I bought the album through his Snowcap store. Let me just say this guy has a sound just like the description claims here on cdbaby. This album is one of the best releases I have purchased in a long, long time.

Sundays at Church is hard-hitting, relevant music that goes straight to the heart of today's committed Christian. The musical range of the album is broad, with shades of everything from grunge to gospel included on the 10 cuts. The range of the messages is solid theology here, too. The title cut expresses anger and frustration at the pettiness and worldly distraction of the modern church while Wash Me in the Blood of Jesus, perhaps the breakout hit of the album, pleads the cry of every broken and contrite sinner to Christ. It's the song you'll find yourself humming in the shower and singing in the car for years to come.
