Tricia Brock, the frontwoman of the GRAMMY-nominated rock band Superchick, has announced she is releasing her first solo effort, The Road, on June 7th (Inpop Records). While Superchick is still very much a band and currently in the studio recording for their next project and on tour throughout this summer and fall, Brock couldn't resist God's calling to release a worship project.
 
While fronting her band, Tricia Brock never set specific plans to record a side project but last year, she literally found herself in a spiritual desert in between Superchick's album recordings while also constantly feeling a call to lead worship. She soon realized that now was the time she used her voice to offer the musical worship that she was called to by God, and she began paving the way for The Road.
 
The songs from The Road are a departure from the well-known rock sound of Superchick, yet will take the listener down a refreshing new take on Brock's contrasting – yet recognizable - musical path. The album, produced by Brock's husband Nick Baumhardt (Stellar Kart, FM Static, Thousand Foot Krutch), is a collection of songs meant to breathe hope and to inspire new life into a battling heart. “We may be broken, but we’re never destroyed,” the album’s lyrics proclaim. Brock wants to share that at times the listener may feel without hope, but there’s no need to fear. Hope, refuge and strength are always with us when we are with God.
 
The Road features unique versions of “Always” and “Jesus I Am Resting, Resting,” in addition to new tunes, many which are co-written by Brock and come from deep moments from her personal journal. The project’s first single is “You Are My Shepherd,” which is currently at AC radio.
 
The first on the project, “Breath Of God,” creates the image of how just one breath from God can give us life, while “Lean” shares a time in Brock's life where writing songs of worship was difficult, feeling like God had completely disappeared. “Impossible” showcases the life and power in the name of God, that with Him nothing is impossible. A special moment on the project is the last song where Brock is joined by her father on "Broken For Love's Sake."
 
The Road is also offering a digital deluxe version on iTunes that will include two bonus songs, "Desert Song" and "Your Grace Is Amazing." A two-week pre-sale campaign is already set with iTunes, and the advance pre-release with press kit is currently being shipped for review. Her digital EPK is also available by clicking here.
 
“This world isn’t about me,” Tricia Brock explains. “If I have one purpose to fulfill during my time on this earth, it’s to bring someone closer to God through the love and compassion that He’s given me… however that may be. How can you stand in front of a crowd and preach the news of the Lord’s boundless love without doing everything in your power to model your life after His?”
 
If Tricia Brock is traveling the world with Superchick in sold-out arenas or leading worship as a solo artist for an intimate Sunday morning service, she sings songs that resonate with anyone who is longing with a passion for justice, an authenticity of faith or a restructuring of a heart’s foundation.
 
“Whether the message shared in The Road brings you tears of joy or pain, you are welcome here, and through the words that God has shared with me, my hope is that none of you will walk away unchanged,” Tricia adds.

Centricity Music’s breakout band, Me In Motion, is scheduled to embark on their fourth major tour over the last twelve months.   The band will join Superchick’s 2010 Reinvention Tour launching September 22nd in Hobbs, New Mexico.  The tour, which also features Manafest and Bread Of Stone, will visit 20+ cities through early November.   For more information about the tour please visit, www.superchickonline.com.

“I'm super-pumped for the opportunity to hit the road this fall with such a great artist line-up,” says Me In Motion’s frontman, Seth Mosley.  “It’s an extra special thrill to share the stage with Superchick, as I've been attending their shows since I was in youth group.  Their light-hearted ministry and effective message to teens shares a kindred heart with the message of Me in Motion.  I have no doubts that this could be the most fun tour Me In Motion has done yet.  Fans can expect high-energy performances from beginning to end. The 2010 Reinvention Tour in one word….Super! "

Since its debut on the Christian music scene late last year, Me In Motion has maintained a heavy touring schedule and performed with some of the biggest names in the industry; newsboys, Sanctus Real, Red/Pillar.  Me In Motion immediately started developing a strong fanbase with their high-energy performances and heartfelt lyrics. The group’s debut self-titled project released in March of this year and the first single, “Losers,” peaked in the Top Twenty on the Christian CHR chart and their second single, “The God I Know,” is positioned at #17 on the CHR chart.

Me In Motion recently was in the studio to record The Lifted Hands EP, a three-song worship collection that they are selling at concert dates only and will be available on the Superchick tour.  The EP is also available for purchase online through all music digital outlets.

Besides being the frontman for Me In Motion, Seth Mosley continues his songwriting and producing sessions with other artists in the Christian music industry.  Mosley co-wrote and co-produced the newboys recent mega hit, “Born Again,” that topped the CHR charts for nine weeks.  He’s also been writing with Britt Nicole, Aaron Shust and Newsong and producing and co-writing four songs for Provident Music’s new band, Anthem Lights. And if that isn’t enough to keep Mosley busy, he married his Swedish bride, Celi, on July 21st, who he met last year while touring Sweden.  The happy couple are residing in the Nashville area.  

Grammy nominated pop/rock band Superchick kicks off its fall 2010 “Reinvention Tour” Sept. 22, 2010. Visiting 20+ cities through early November, Superchick will be joined by guest artists Manafest, Me In Motion and Bread of Stone.
 
In support of Superchick’s latest release, Reinvention (April 20, 2010), the tour will feature reinventions of popular songs from the band’s more than 10-year career. Opening with a concert in Hobbs, N.M., the tour will visit mainly West Coast and Midwest cities, supported by Superchick’s latest radio single, “Still Here,” currently impacting both Christian AC and CHR.
 
“‘Reinvention’ is a word that means change, and that is what we expect on this tour: GOD to show up like never before and change our lives forever,” says Superchick bassist Matt Dally. “We want your life to be different when you walk out of the show; I want my life to be different as well. Come and see God transform us all to be closer to Him. Oh and it’s going to rock your face off too!”

Superchick’s 2008 release, Rock What You Got, turned out the group’s highest ever first week sales numbers and has received significant licensing placements on MTV’s “The Hills,” ABC television spots for “True Beauty," and the Style Network’s reality series “Running In Heels,” to name a few. The album additionally received a 2009 GRAMMY nomination for Best Rock Or Rap Gospel Album and produced the Top 5 radio hit, “Hold.” Its latest project, Reinvention, released April 20, 2010, touches on significant lyrical themes that have resonated with Superchick’s fans over the last decade. Heavily influenced by the band’s television and film exposure, it is a soundtrack album for a world filled with fast car chases, giant fighting robots, teen romance and bad guys walking in slow motion. Three new songs accompany nine reinventions pulled from every album in the band’s discography. For more information, visit www.superchickonline.com.
 
Over the past seven years, Chris Greenwood has used the moniker Manafest to organically build his fan base playing hundreds of shows on three continents. Manafest dropped his fourth studio project, “The Chase,” in 2010 to much acclaim including the hit song "Avalanche," currently Top 5 at CHR. After his other three records that received international acclaim including huge success in Japan, Juno nominee Manafest released "The Chase" as his most aggressive and sonically evolved record to date. In 2006, Manafest released “Glory” from which the rock anthem “Impossible,” featuring Thousand Foot Krutch’s Trevor McNevan, became a global hit.  This release dramatically increased his record sales 5x over.  In 2008, Manafest followed up with “Citizens Activ,” which catapulted success garnering multiple TV placements and his overall presences in the US and internationally.
 
Me In Motion broke out on the national Christian music scene the beginning of this year with the release of their single, “Losers,” from their debut self-titled album on Centricity Music.  The song peaked in the Top Twenty on the CHR Christian chart and the accompanying video world premiered on the Air 1 website, besides garnering airplay from several video outlets that included the Gospel Music Channel and Godbeat TV.  Their second single, “The God I Know,” is currently at #18 on the Christian CHR chart and still climbing.  Me In Motion, which is comprised of Seth Mosley, Brian Dexter and Tim Wilson, is becoming a favorite on the touring circuit with their high energy performances and song lyrics that are connecting with fans across the country.  Due to the early success and incredible talent of Me In Motion, the group was asked to appear on three high-profile tours earlier this year with newsboys, RED/Pillar and Sanctus Real.
 
With a new range of vocals, talent and tour experience, Bread of Stone hits the mark with their highly anticipated, long awaited third album, "Saturate." The bands goal is to share what God has been doing in their lives personally and as a group. The pop/rock 5 song EP features "Beautiful," which was inspired after a recent trip to Indonesia. Lead singer, Ben Kristijanto said "we spoke with a recent convert named Abraham and he told us that when we heard about the Gospel of Christ, he was in awe of how Someone so great would come down for someone like him and turn it in to something beautiful. Bread of Stone has toured with some of the top names in Christian music including the newsboys, Stellar Kart, Decemberadio, Petra, Building 429 and many others.
