The Band Your About To Hear (TBYATH) has just released their first full-length album called 'Removed,' Dec. 9. TBYATH is a Christian rock band out of Lynchburg , VA that started in the fall of 2008 at Liberty University. The band started out with six members, a keys player, acoustic guitarist, electric guitarist, drummer, lead singer, and sound engineer. Since then, this Fall of 2009, TBYATH has added a seventh member, a bassist.
I listened to this album after it came out on Wednesday and I was pleasantly surprised as to what I heard. I thought that the music that new, intricate and very thought out. All the instruments blended so incredibly well together, even though there are so many. I do really like that there is only one electric guitar and one acoustic guitar in the sound, usually there is so much going on with two electric guitars.
The songs themselves were very well written and executed. The lyrics are very powerful and really grab your attention while you are listening. One specific song I really enjoyed was 'Removed'. The lyrics caught my attention and the build up fromthe verses to the chorus and again to the bridge just captured the essence of what the song was trying to portray.
I think that this band will go far, and their first album, 'Removed' will be a huge hit on the charts. I am excited to see how it will rank over the next couple weeks and months. This first album is only one of many great things to come out of TBYATH. I hear they are starting, even now, writing for their next album to be released sooner than most would expect.
This group of young musicians got together in a snap, out of nowhere for a talent show called 'Coffeehouse' at Liberty University, where all members attend college. It was totally a God thing, they all say, or else this ministry wouldn't be growing an prospering so rapidly.
This band definitely started out with the hand of God and if it is what He has in store for them, then their ministry will go very far very quickly.
