MySpace a place for friends

Flowing out of their dedication to Jesus Christ, Of the Son strives to offer all those that are willing to listen, an opportunity to experience an innovative approach to praise and worship music, “Praisecore”. After coining the term, the founding of praisecore.org followed in an effort to encourage bands to be up-front with their faith and to somehow support bands that do so. In keeping with this mission, Of the Son offers a clear message of hope and love in the midst of a world that is overwhelmed with trite spiritual clichés and empty religious metaphors.

In the fall of 2003 a random and unexpected conversation between friends resulted in a brief and even more unexpected phone conversation between complete strangers. The following practices would result in the friends (Ryan Furr, Jon Ridens, and Rob Dubinski) forming Of the Son. Almost unconsciously the three began the process of writing what would eventually become the December 2004 Wounded Records release The Dead Will Rise. After entering a local battle of the bands in March 2004 Ryan's younger brother Nathan Furr was added to play bass and the OTS roster was complete. 2005 saw the release of Of the Son’s “At War” e.p. on Harvest Earth Records. Ministry opportunities would eventually lead other members in different directions. In late 2006, Josh Linton was brought on as a guitarist, and in late 2007 Josh Sterling on drums to complete the current line-up of OTS. The band is currently writing for a new full-length album to be announced.

Ultimately, the words of an ancient Jewish sage provide the ground on which Of The Son will continue to build their music and their lives; But my life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus, the work of telling others the good news of Gods wonderful kindness and love. (Acts 20:24)
