It was just recently that I used to listen to the songs of this band, Casting Crowns. I heard this band before but never was on my mind that their songs were great.


Casting Crowns started six years ago. This GRAMMY, American Music and Dove Awardee and having 8-chart topping radio singles band remains focused on discipleship through music. With lead singer and songwriter Mark Hall’s 18 years in youth ministry, the band’s message remains rooted in the student services he has led on a weekly basis since 2001, at Eagles Landing Baptist church near Atlanta. The songs start as messages for his 400 teenagers and their families. With boldly honest, hard-hitting lyrics, the band continues to challenge, strengthen and pour into the body of Christ, giving listeners a fresh, relevant perspective on loving God and loving people.


The band is composed of seven talented musicians. Mark Hall – lead vocals, Juan DeVevo – guitar/vocals, Hector Cervantes – guitar/vocals, Chris Huffman – bass, Megan Garrett – piano/vocals, Melodee DeVevo – violin/vocals and Brian Scoggin – drums.


They released their albums on 2003 – Casting Crowns, 2005 – Lifesong, 2007 – The Altar and The Door, 2008 – Peace On Earth. And this year, they released their album entitled “Until The Whole World Hears”. Living life with a kingdom focus, a reaching-out, loving-the-world-like-Jesus-does purpose – is the focus of the band’s latest album.


This band offers not just great music and voice but also wonderful message on every song.
