A Tribute To Our Creator

The Creation Festival is all about changing lives and glorifying our Creator. Our prayer for CREATION 09 is that people will be changed, restored, and challenged to serve the Lord and to make a difference in this world.

As the nations largest Christian music festival, Creation offers jam packed days filled with the top musical artists, kids activities, worship tent and more. However, the Creation Festival is about much more than music. Creation is also about honoring the Word of God through speakers and seminars.

Plan on joining us. It will be the highlight of your summer, maybe your life!

Remixed, Ready To Groove and COMING THIS SAT @ UMBC

Dance rockers Family Force 5 continue to break out of their futuristic space bubbles with the release of first-ever remix project Dance or Die With a Vengeance. The collection comes hot on the heels of last summer’s run on the “Vans Warped Tour,” followed by a headlining slot on this spring’s “AP Tour,” and features several friends the Atlanta-based troupe met along the way.

As the title implies, FF5’s 2008 dance-floor thrasher Dance or Die gets a complete facelift courtesy of its celebrity guests. And for those who found the first installment incited a series of percolating grooves, this latest round takes an even more explosive turn toward the club circuit. The title track transforms into a soulful synth-popper courtesy of The Secret Handshake, while “Rip It Up” merges alternative rock with electronica as re-imagined by The Pragmatic.

Relient K leader Matt Thiessen takes “The First Time” to a programmed ballad of epic proportions, as “Radiator” later recalls something straight out of Depeche Mode’s catalogue via the turntable twists of Red’s Jasen Rauch. Add in tour mates 3OH!3 taking a sci-fi stab at “Get Your Back Off the Wall” and the David Crowder Band dinging its way through the equally spacey “How In the World,” and FF5 truly creates a pulsating listening experience of supernatural proportions.—Andy Argyrakis of CCM
