Idol Chatter: July 2007 Archives

If you haven't already heard about the up-and-coming Christian rock band Rush Of Fools, I highly suggest that you check them out as soon as possible.

This five-man group from Nashville stepped into the spotlight by winning Band With A Mission, an annual competition held to showcase new independent Christian artists and judged by key executives in the Christian music industry. A year later, their breakout album, "Rush Of Fools" was released.

Since then, their debut single, "Undo" has became a record-breaking hit--peaking at number one on both the Billboard Hot Christian Adult Contemporary music chart and the Hot Christian Songs chart, 25 and 22 weeks ago respectively. The song has managed to stay in the top five of those charts since.

The band derives its name from the Scripture, 1st Corinthians 1:25-27, which includes the verse, "For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength." The band members all come from Birmingham, AL, where they originally planned on going into other fields before realizing that music was their call. Kevin Huguley, Wes Willis, and JD Frazier play electric guitar, Jacob Chestnut handles bass, and Jamie Sharpe takes on the drums. As if this soft rock band wasn't already talented instrumentally, each member also takes turns on vocals--and do very well.
