Supervision's first break came through winning the first Ultimate Events National Battle Of The Bands in 2003 which followed with the boys storming the stage at the Alton Towers Ultimate Event in May that year to much acclaim.
In the months that followed Supervision were snapped up in a recording deal with Elevation and a release followed In the autumn of 2003 when the band spent time with producer Trevor Michael (Quench, Kindle) at ICC Studios in Eastbourne recording three tracks for THIS WAY UP a new album highlighting some of the up and coming bands in UK. The guys recorded "How Long"," Here I Am" and new song "Back Up" for the album. The tracks were mixed in Nashville by Russ Long whose credits include 'Newsboys', 'Sixpence None The Richer' and 'DC Talk'.
A month later Supervision were awarded UCAM Best New Band at the UK CMA's which were held at The Garage, London December 2003 closing a fantastic year.
2004 saw the band gaining momentum starting with a massive 36 date tour of UK with Replenish and the release of THIS WAY UP on Elevation. Appearances at Spring Harvest, Greenbelt and other festivals took the music to a wider audience before the band withdrew to write material for their debut album which was recording in December again with Trevor at the Helm.
2005 has been the best year so far with the new album 'Day of Small Beginnings' being launched in March followed by a headlining tour through April and May which again included Spring Harvest before a triumphant return to Alton Towers and 10000 fans to end the tour.
the summer has seen the band play more festivals (including 30000 people at Merseyfest) and a Greenbelt homecoming.
The band continue to sell well over 100 albums per week through gigs and word of mouth and September see's the launch of an electronic press kit and video for the song 'scream' aimed at raising more interest in the record industry

I´m just stopping by to send a little encouragement from the scriptures - those verses just struck me tonite ... :-))
Therefore we do not loose heart! Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal...
It is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come!!! (2. Cor 4,16 ff.)
Take courage and have a great week!!
Cheers and Blessings!

YOU CAN HELP!
The band and I have entered 'The Ultimate Showcase' Competition. Its like a battle of the bands come X-Factor / Pop Idol contest. For us to get through the first round we need YOUR VOTE. This is done by simply subscribing to our mailing list at www.musicfinity.com/Matt McChlery (click on link on my profile to get there quickly).
We are also running a COMPETITION. For the next 3 months, 5 mailing list subscribers will win a FREE CD and Songbook every month. So subscribe today! (draw dates: 31 Jan 07, 28 Feb 07, 31 Mar 07).
the new year has just begun, and it already held loads of changes for us as a family. We moved houses (still living out of boxes), I cut down working hours in the record company from 5 to 2 days in order to be able to do more worship ministry, and just now I lay finishing touches on 2 German worship CD productions .
One of them sounds like a mixture of Motown and Buena Vista Social Club, and is so much fun to produce. I think it is vital, that worship music today does not become to narrow musically. The whole brit pop thing is sounding great, but God has created all kind of music, and the church should reflect those different styles in the attempt to portrait God´s creativity in a proper way - instead of creating a mono culture ...
Not every church all of it, off course, but the body of believers in the whole world can do, if we still allow domestic styles and start to care for Christians in other parts of the world and their contribution to the worship experience!!!
Never before the times of the global village has it been so easy to enjoy diversity as different expressions of a superb creative maker!!! Well, I hope I don´t bore You with these thoughts, but they are kind of on my heart today!
In closing, here comes a little encouragement from the Scriptures:
"There are different kinds of gifts and service, but the same Spirit... To each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good...
In fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, were would the body be...
So there should be no division in the body, but it should have equal concern for each other! If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it." (1. Cor 12, 4ff.)

As the year comes to a close, I quickly wanted to say thanks for joining me on my myspace journey.

So do not throw away Your confidence, it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when You have done the will of God, You will receive what he has promised ... Faith is being sure of what we hope for and being certain of what we do not see ... (Hebrews 10, 35 ff.)
