One of my favorite bands, The Wrecking, released their new digital EP, The Catalyst, last week. The six-song EP includes sneak previews of songs which will be included on the band’s full-length CD set to drop in early 2010.The first single from The Catalyst, “Sound Of The Resistance,” hits airwaves this week.The video for the song was filmed at Acquire the Fire headquarters in Tyler, Texas, and makes a simple statement about taking a stand, says The Wrecking’s drummer Darren Elder. “How different would life be for most of us if our circumstances were met with love as opposed to fear or anger?” says Elder. “‘The Sound Of The Resistance’ is a song about deliberately taking a stand for truth, drawing a line in the sand if you will, while recognizing that our weapon is love.” Another song on the EP, “Our Feet Don’t Touch the Ground,” has been submitted to the producers of the soundtrack for the new Twilight movie, “New Moon.” Nearly 10,000 fans have already voted for the song to be included in the film at www.TheTwilightSong.com.”Twilight fans have been very supportive of the song,” says Elder, “but the song was actually written after my uncle died of leukemia. I was holding his hand when he died, and it was clear that he was longing to be with his Savior Jesus and that he was embracing what was next. In the end the veil was very thin and it was evident that God was in the room. The song is consumed with the contention that to love is to hurt. It reminds us all it was not nails that held Christ to the cross, it was His love for us. ” You can learn more about The Wrecking on the band’s website.
