Bio

Life Support is a modern rock/worship collective whose passion is to lead people into God’s presence. The band’s second album, “Roar of Heaven” is a thoughtful and compelling call to worship that pushes the musical and lyrical boundaries of the genre... The band's journey began at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish N.S. when a few friends decided they wanted to change the atmosphere on campus. With a handful of instruments and an abandoned chapel, they began to gather for worship. Within two years the small group of ten exploded into hundreds of students. Many lives were radically changed; God’s Kingdom had begun to invade... Life Support consists of Deanna Leil (vocals/synths), Alex Stephen (vocals/synths), Rob Reid (guitars/vocals), and Andrew Asare (Drums).  They have been touring their country full time for almost six years, partnering with organizations for major conferences such as YC Alberta, Soulfest, Ichthus Festival, Alive On The Island, Toronto’s Mission Fest, Global Day of Prayer, BCOQ's Blizzard, and Jesus To The Nations and have shared the stage with bands such as Leeland, Starfield, and Jeremy Camp. They are also actively involved in ministering to churches, youth groups, camps, and retreats. Life Support has been together for eight years and has since moved beyond the walls of St. Francis Xavier University to become missionaries to Canada. Their partnership with Compassion Canada led them on an exposure tour to Quito, Ecuador. This trip was instrumental in increasing their passion for world missions. Seeing the face of poverty first hand, the band advocates for the poor and less fortunate of the world. They use the stage and their music to increase awareness of how we can impact and give hope to people in need. Life Support released their full-length debut in April 2006. Mixed and mastered by Tim Abraham at the Hive in Toronto, the album picked up a nomination for a 2007 East Coast Music Award under "Gospel Recording of the Year". Their song “Out Of Order” was also nominated for a 2006 Canadian Gospel Music Award for “Rock Song of the Year”... For their second album the band joined forces with Tim again. This time he took on the role of producer, engineer, and mixer. They also teamed up with Craig Douglas (The Craig Douglas Band / The Meeting House) and both Tim and Craig lent a hand to composition. The band spent the spring and summer of 2007 writing and reworking material for their sophomore release. Through the pre-production process, the band began shaping a new, experimental sound with more complex compositions, atmospheric sonic textures, and extended instrumental explorations. The result could be called “art rock” worship, and draws on the influences of Mute Math, Switchfoot, and Hillsong United. The album has picked up six music award nominations: A 2009 JUNO AWARD nomination for Contemporary Christian Album of the Year, A 2009 East Coast Music Award nomination for “Gospel Recording of The Year”, A Music Nova Scotia Award nomination for “Inspirational Album of The Year”, and three Canadian Gospel Music Award nominations for "Modern Worship Song of the Year" ("Made For This"), "Rock Song of the Year" ("Your Love in The World"), and "Modern Worship Album of the Year" ("Roar of Heaven")... The album was recorded between the Hive and Metalworks Studios, Toronto and mastered by Phil Demetro (Our Lady Peace, The Trews) at Lacquer Channel, Toronto. J.T. Daly (Mute Math) of Nashville took care of the album artwork and design... It was Life Support’s desire with this album to capture the sounds of Heaven, creating music that will be an expression and extension of the Kingdom, and ultimately bring glory to God! It is Life Support prayer that the roar of Heaven will resound in this generation and that believer and seeker alike will experience afresh the great love of our Father.
