ABANDON
Abandon EP
(ForeFront)
****
The story goes that record exec Chris York ignored his wife on a date, distracted by the music from a club next door. The inevitable dialogue ensued and a Texas worship band known as Abandon found itself signing with ForeFront Records. One listen to the EP will have you as interested and distracted as York and tuning in to one of this year’s best rock offerings.
The band’s self-titled disc instantly arrests your attention. The 2010 Dove Awards aren’t until April, but you’re already meeting next year’s “New Artist of the Year” by giving this disc a spin.
