   About This Beautiful Republic

Following the critical and commercial success of its 2007 debut, Even Heroes Need a Parachute, Ohio rock band This Beautiful Republic returns August 19 with Perceptions, a new ForeFront Records/EMI album that clearly showcases the act’s increasing creative and spiritual strengths.

Lead singer Ben Olin explains, “The title deals with the idea that there are at least two sides to every story. Things inevitably appear different to each individual based on their experiences, predispositions, prejudices, or vantage point. When we understand this—that what we see may not be the whole truth—we arrive where grace and love prevail.”

Perceptions is an effort that decidedly goes to the extremes of modern rock and timeless worship. It was produced by Allen Salmon (MuteMath) and comes in the storied wake of This Beautiful Republic’s first two years of touring together as a major label act. The band shared stages with headliners Sanctus Real and Family Force 5 among others and traveled overseas for shows in the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, Ireland and Sweden.

“I think the overall toll that being in a band takes was underestimated by us. Until you’re doing it and seeing how it affects your friendships, relationships, your bank account, your physical health, and your mental health, you can’t really get a true grasp on it,” says Olin. “Yet at the same time, we never knew it would be so good. We’re so proud that we’re being allowed to do what we are doing right now. Perceptions is a huge step for us and a better representation of where we’re at as musicians.”

This Beautiful Republic first made headlines when pioneering EMI-owned Christian rock label ForeFront Records (dc Talk, tobyMac) chose the act as its first new signing in five years. The band’s debut album, Even Heroes Need a Parachute, charted the singles “Jesus to the World” and “Casting Off” and earned glowing reviews. MusicFaith.com called TBR “my vote for New Artist of 2007” while Christianity Today compared the band to Foo Fighters and estimated it was “capable of improving from good to great.”

In regards to your bulletin;

I'm Jenny Clay, a 17 year old senior at Harlan County Highschool!
I saw you guys in Big Stone Gap,VA a few months back and you were amazing!
I'm a member of First Priority Leadership. In case you haven't heard of us,First Priority is a Christian organization much like FCA, or Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Our school consolidated just over a year ago into a student body of 1300, and now we have the biggest First Priority Club in existence! We were considering booking a band for our hook week during school sometime in the Spring. It hasn't been cleared with administration and such yet, but I was just curious if you were interested & how much it would cost!

You can message me back if you'd like.
& my cell phone number is 606-273-4181.

thanks for your time!
Jenny Clay

Hey I hope that all is well and that you guys are having an amazing time on tour. I really hope that I can see you guys sometime soon. I love your shows the most. They are really comforting, and energetic, and really bring me closer with God. I know I see you guys a lot, but each time I do, it is a different and amazing experience. You guys deserve the best there is out there. Love you guys very much. Be safe out on the roads, and on stage (Ben) haha.
