• World Service is your sixth studio album. How is it different from previous records?

Every album seems to be the best album we’ve ever done. World Service IS the best we’ve ever done!!

• Premier hears you're making it big in the States. How do manage to balance your work on either side of the water?

This is a question we continually ask ourselves. One of the things over recent years with the success of the band has been that there seem to be more and more opportunities all the time to go to so many different countries. I know we have probably not always got this balance right but we do trying our hardest to make all these things work as best we can, along with trying to have a healthy balance between work and family life. However, in 2004 we will be playing in the UK more than we have these past 2 years,just check out our website for details.

• How long did it take to do the whole album?

From starting writing to finished master about a year

• What message do you want to put across to people who listen to it?

That God is truly alive and its okay to believe and be proud of the fact.
Also that Grace is there for when we succeed and also through heartache.

• How do you feel when you see so many Christians & even non-christians at your gigs singing praises to God with your songs?

Feels like an incredible privilege to have started life as a band writing and performing songs for a few mates to travelling the world and seeing people touched by God.

• How do you stay grounded in your faith when you are leading a very busy life?

Wife, kids, family and Church...
