P.O.D. Dance Onto Billboard Top 10/ Christian Soundscan At # 1
(4/16/2008)Multi-Platinum rockers P.O.D. are back to reclaim their place atop the rock scene with their INO/Columbia Records debut, When Angels & Serpents Dance. The disc nabs the #9 spot on this week's Billboard Albums Chart and #1 on the Contemporary Christian SoundScan chart. This marks P.O.D.'s fourth Top 10 release. "Satellite" (2001), "Payable On Death"(2003) and "Testify" (2006) also debuted in the Billboard Top 10 when released. In addition, P.O.D. have landed the coveted #1 spot on iTunes Rock album chart this past week.
Lead vocalist Sonny Sandoval says: "After 16 years of being in P.O.D., the loyalty of The Warriors continue to make us look good. We are truly grateful and blown away to see another Top 10 debut."
The San Diego quartet's renewed vigor is evident throughout When Angels & Serpents Dance. From the searing guitar which kicks off the hard-rocking first single, "Addicted," and the striking and poignant, "End Of The World" (complete with gospel choir); to the album's most ferocious track, the savage "God Forbid," the disc has been receiving rave reviews in both the CBA and General Market:
The Oakland Press says: "The band deliver their most mature and ambitious outing to date. It's a fresh start to P.O.D. rather than merely returning to the good old days."
The disc also received an impressive 2 1/2 stars from USA Today and the band's hometown San Diego Union Tribune quipped: "It's during the softer moments, such as the questioning acoustic ballad "Tell Me Why" and the meticulously layered "Rise Against," that P.O.D. best demonstrate its new maturity, dynamic range and emotional and musical depth."
CCM magazine boldly stated that "If this amazing album doesn't get the music world's attention upon its release, there just might have to be a revolution," while Aspiring Retail remarked, "P.O.D. reemerge as aggressive as ever, but have a more mature, passionate pulse, purposed to please their passionate fan base. "When Angels and Serpents Dance" displays an impressive range in this13-song collection."
When Angels and Serpents Dance (produced by Jay Baumgardner: Evanescence, etc.) is ultimately a record of P.O.D. in 2008. "As far as P.O.D. goes it's always for the moment," Sandoval says. "I just kind of go through it and whatever the song brings out in us that's it. There's a lot of passion on this record."
Indeed, When Angels and Serpents Dance is the sound of a rejuvenated band: passionate, aggressive and with a message for our times.

Revelation, Third Day's Follow-up To Wherever You Are Is Set For July 29th
(4/14/2008)Third Day To Perform At Papal Youth Rally On April 19th
Revelation, multi-million selling rock band Third Day's first studio album in three years, will be released on July 29th by Essential Records, a division of SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT. Recorded with producer Howard Benson (Daughtry, P.O.D., Flyleaf, Hoobastank) in Los Angeles, Revelation is the follow-up to Third Day's Wherever You Are, which debuted at No. 8 on The Billboard 200 chart in 2005 and went on to become the band's third consecutive studio album to win a GRAMMY award.
One of the top-ranked touring bands according to Pollstar, Third Day has embarked on its most ambitious outing to date, which will take the group to more than 100 markets in 2008. The band is particularly honored to have been selected to perform at the Papal Youth Rally at St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers, NY on April 19th. The rally will be one of the key stops on Pope Benedict XVI's trip to the United States, which will include visits to Washington, DC, the United Nations and the World Trade Center site.
"Call My Name," the achingly beautiful lead single from Revelation, released to radio on April 4th with an impressive 69 adds out of the box. The album reflects Third Day's Southern-rock influences, but also exudes a palpable vulnerability in both song matter and performance as the Atlanta-based band explores mankind's never-ending search for identity. Guest artists include Chris Daughtry (on "Slow Down") Flyleaf's Lacey Mosely (on "Born Again") and pedal steel guitar wizard Robert Randolph (on "Otherside").
Billboard has called Third Day "one of the best rock bands, period" and, over the past decade, the group has racked up 24 No. 1 radio singles, sold more than six million albums and garnered three GRAMMY awards (with eight nominations), 23 Dove Awards, two consecutive American Music Award nods and multiple ASCAP honors. They've been covered by CBS' "60 Minutes," ABC's "Nightline," NBC's "Today" show and USA Today, performed on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and forged a historic partnership with Chevrolet.
Comprised of lead vocalist Mac Powell, guitarist Mark Lee, bassist Tai Anderson and drummer David Carr, Third Day's humanitarian efforts include raising nearly $300,000 for the victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita and charities such as the Blood:Water Mission, and encouraging more than 15,000 fans to sponsor children across the globe through the work of World Vision.

Radio Responds To Third Day's 'Call My Name'
(4/12/2008)Longtime fans of the epic, rock sound of Third Day got their first taste of the band's upcoming studio album Revelation (7/29/08) with the release of the project's debut single, "Call My Name," which became an instant smash hit at radio across the country.
"Call My Name" was an immediate add for 69 stations (52 AC, 17 CHR) from all over the country, including some of Christian radio's key outlets, such as KLOVE, WAWZ - Star 99.1 New York City, WFSH - The Fish Atlanta, WLFJ - His Radio, WFFH - The Fish Nashville, KTIS - Minneapolis, KSBJ - Houston, KXOJ - Tulsa, KCMS - Spirit 105.3 Seattle, KFIS - The Fish Portland, and KDUV - Fresno/Visalia.
The driving guitars, the instantly familiar yet startlingly tender voice of Mac Powell, and the universal theme of reaching out to God in the midst of the everyday has touched a chord with listeners anxious for the return of Third Day to airwaves and concert stages alike.

Also performing will be New Artist of the Year Nominees 33 Miles, Brandon Heath, Group 1 Crew, Mandisa, Rush Of Fools and DeWayne Woods.
The vibrant tapestry of artists tapped for performances ensure that the 2008 Dove Awards telecast will include many extraordinary moments, including several especially created for the occasion:
• The world premiere of music created for Compassionart (http://compassionart.co.uk/), a newly formed charity founded by Delirious? frontman/songwriter Martin Smith that is dedicated to seeing works of art generate income for the poorest of the poor. Smith hosted an unprecedented gathering of award winning Christian music songwriters in the UK in January and recording is underway for a charity project that will release in the fall. Smith, along with Aussie worship leader Darlene Zschech will appear via satellite video to introduce the first live performance of "So Great" featuring previously announced performers and Compassionart songwriters Chris Tomlin, Steven Curtis Chapman, Israel Houghton, Michael W.
