Sanctus Real News

Posted by Kevan Breitinger Dec 15, 2006

One of the top Christian rock bands of today, Sanctus Real launched three national CHR radio singles, “I’m Not Alright” and “The Face of Love,” both from the current, best-selling The Face of Love CD, and “Closer” from the acclaimed 2005 release, Fight The Tide. A multi-format hit, “I’m Not Alright” also landed at No. 1 and No. 5 respectively on the CRW and R&R yearend Christian Rock charts after spending six full weeks at No. 1 and becoming the band’s first MTVu video. The band’s third single from The Face of Love, “Don’t Give Up,” goes to radio today.

Sanctus Real released its third national studio album, The Face of Love, April 4 to wide critical acclaim. Inspired by real-life heartache and rediscovered joy, the emotions behind each track on The Face of Love are vulnerable and undisguised, making this album the band’s most accessible project of their career and exhibiting the band’s progression both musically and lyrically. Embraced by fans, the album jumped back on the Billboard Top 200 earlier this month, landing at No. 2 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart as the band prepares to embark on the 34-city Winter Jam 2007 Tour Spectacular that launches Jan. 12 in Johnson City, TN.

Sanctus Real is about tangibly being the “face of love,” not only with friends and family, but reaching outside of that comfort zone. Since Sanctus Real broke on the national scene, the band has looked for opportunities to partner with charitable organizations. They most recently joined forces with African Leadership after realizing the incredible need in Africa.
