Over the past year, Abilene,Texas based alternative worship band LOOKTOTHESKY has seen much change. From member changes to the anticipated release of their debut album...'Our march to April' LOOKTOTHESKY has embraced the different seasons of adjustment that God has brought their way. 'We have seen our band/ministry take off in a blessed way.' says bassist Landry Meeks 'To see the vision God gives your group come to life is just awesome. It's humbling to see Him bring everything full circle.'
With their energy-charged debut album 'Our march to April', LOOKTOTHESKY has embraced the idea of change as they seek to push the definition of worship with their emotionally saturated album. In 'Our march to April' LOOKTOTHESKY successfully drives the limits of worship with realistic lyrics that seek to ignite the heart of believers with the heart of God. 'As a worship band we want to open the doors of creativity in worship to God.' says lead singer Jordan Osborn. 'With this record we feel we have done that. Our whole pursuit is to bring energy and creativity to the genre of worship music.' With a modern alternative sound LOOKTOTHESKY hopes that believers of all ages can worship with the band, singing songs that are direct cries of their hearts to the throne of God.
Having formed initially in the summer of 2006, the band has accomplished much in a matter of little more than a year. The past year of 2007 has been an incredibly busy year for the guys from LOOKTOTHESKY. With an opening slot on BGCT's YEC FX stage (the event consisted of Shane and Shane, Kutless, and The Afters), and BGCT's Annual Convention, the band has seen more doors open as they played at the 2007 Youth Outdoor Festival with major label artist By The Tree, RUNKIDRUN, The Turning, and Jeff Johnson,as well as leading worship at the 2007 New Mexico Assemblies of God Youth Convention, working with Teen Unite and tour dates with The Myriad, Everyday Sunday, A Road Less Traveled,Crimson Soul, Eowyn and others. Along side playing big conference events, LOOKTOTHESKY continues to play youth rallies, camps, DNOWs, concerts, and are passionate about playing events that give access to students. 'This isn't about playing cool music. This is so much more than that. Its about building relationships with students and investing in lives with the love of Christ.' says singer Jordan Osborn.
With their debut album coming in the Winter of 2008 and a tour to follow, LOOKTOTHESKY is excited at the
changing seasons in their band and ministry, and the direction God is taking them. Be looking for the band

Recently awarded the “Best Independent Band of 2007” in CCM Magazine Reader’s Choice Awards, A Road Less Traveled has created an attention-demanding buzz amongst live music circles across the country. Dubbed a “Famecast Fenom” through a worldwide online video competition called Famecast, they were awarded a notable cash prize through the support of their wide-spread fan base, affectionately referred to as ‘Roadies’.
During the fall of 2007, two tracks off of their debut album “Rescue” achieved national air play without the funding of a record label. This project contains 12 hard-hitting songs that will leave you humming the melody to tunes like the lyrically inquisitive and hope-infusing “Maybe”.
Amongst other highlights such as sitting on the Top 30 spots on ChristianRock.net, and playing on radios everywhere, ARLT has emerged on the scene with an obvious fervor to make their presence and their purpose known in the Christian music industry.
“We just really want to present a message of hope to anyone who will give us an honest listen,” says Shawn Anglin, electric guitarist for the band. “We play for a generation that is just tired and discouraged, and they need to know that they are needed and they can have something positive to contribute to our world”.
Sharing the stage with acts like Family Force 5, Pillar, Tait, Seventh Day Slumber, Superchick, Kutless, Building 429 and Barlow Girl, this band presents a willingness to play anywhere they can. The November 2006 issue of CCM magazine noted, "A steady diet of touring, from churches to festivals to camps and bowling alleys, has solidified these five into one of the best independent outfits on present rock scene." After playing more than 100 shows in 2007 it’s easy to see that 2008 is definitely a year of promise for A Road Less Traveled.
We all seek it. We all want it.
We all need it. We can't buy it.
