Jonah 33
Self Titled
Ardent Records

This self-titled debut CD is full of big guitars, powerful vocals, and pointed lyrics. Lead vocalist Vince Lichlyter, after having been seduced by the grunge rock scene on the west coast, took a one way trip back home to Arkansas. Once home, Vince began an unbelievable journey of personal growth. He began to get involved with youth ministry and eventually through the will of God, Vince got a start with Ardent Records.

The soundtrack itself is in part typical modern rock, but I'm strongly impressed with the straight forward approach to the lyrics. There is a sense of urgency brought out in the words that is consistent with Vince's hunger for the gospel and the bands ultimate goal of advancing the kingdom.
