BIOGRAPHY - DECEMBERADIO

Few bands more effectively fuse music and ministry than this Virginia-based foursome. Miker along with lead vocalist/bassist Josh Reedy, lead guitarist Brian Bunn and drummer Boone Daughdrill burst onto the national scene with their self-titled Slanted Records' debut in 2006. The project was nominated for a GRAMMY for Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album and earned the group four Dove Award nominations, including nods in the Best New Artist category and Song of the Year for "Drifter." That night the band claimed their first Dove Award when DecembeRadio was honored for Rock Album of the Year, an impressive feat for a new band.

Their winning streak continued at radio where "Love Found Me" and "Dangerous" heated up rock radio airwaves while "Drifter" and "Find You Waiting" became back to back Top Five hits in the CHR format and won fans among AC listeners as well. "Dangerous" became the theme song for the Discovery Channel's "Hazard Pay" program and was used in the CBS-TV drama "Cane." DecembeRadio was named Breakout Band of the Year at the Rock Radio Summit and were the only Christian act touted among Billboard Magazine's 2006 "Artists to Watch." Christianity Today named them Best Band of the Year and Best New Artist.

That creative energy and sense of fun leaps from the speakers when listening to Satisfied. "Gasoline" is like a musical Molotov cocktail, filled with fiery guitar and Reedy's blazing vocals. Bunn cites it as one of his favorite songs that the band has ever recorded. "It's about the revival that we feel when God changes our lives and it burns like gasoline," he says. "It's just a rockin' song. Sometimes I really feel the love of God and I get excited about that; that song sounds like what's inside me." Daughdrill says there's a very celebratory feel to the new record. "[There is] the peace and joy that only Christ can give and it's the reason we do what we do. A lot of these songs are about love, hope and enjoying this awesome life that God has given to us. It's a celebration!" In addition to the unbridled rock anthems, Satisfied includes "For Your Glory," a beautiful worship song with an instantly memorable melody. "Look for Me" is a gorgeous ballad that reminds us God is always there for us no matter what we're going through. "Find You Waiting," which has already become a top-charting hit at AC and CHR stations, was inspired by tragic circumstances. "A close friend of ours named Chris was battling cancer and cancer took his life," says Miker. "His wife really relied on God and remained strong. That really touched our lives--her whole outlook and perspective."
