This is one of those odd situations when a band actually put out a demo after they had already released a successful album. Maybe the album wasn’t as successful as I think it was but anyway Reunion Records didn’t sign them for a follow up so the band got together and released a demo themselves. Personally I loved their album Things Break but I wasn’t aware of this album. Because of this I was pretty excited to hear it and I wasn’t disappointed. While it follows in the footsteps of their first album it definitely had an updated more 90’s sound. I don’t understand how this album didn’t get picked up by a label. It’s got excellent production and the band had already paid for the production so this was a freebie for some label. Anyway it wasn’t so many of you probably never heard but it’s a great listen with an updated 90’s feel that you should hear.

Never knew of this 2nd release – great find. 1st song reminded me of Hokus Pick. Rosser Teeple has a great voice and yet musically, the sound was very atypical for most of the mainstream CCM releases and this came out of one of those mainstream labels – Reunion. The group Recess was another band with a Reunion release with a solid sound and while they did get a 2 album deal, they then fell off into oblivion. It seems like this could have been picked up by Frontline Records or Exit though their signings were mainly from West Coast California area. I agree this is a good release with strong production, but it seems like a sound that the small CCM audience was not ready to embrace. It is unfortunate because there is great talent here.
Glenn Teeple (Keyboards) had a really good side project too https://real80sccm.com/2025/09/29/special-division-bonds-of-trust-1989/
