The Wrecking

The Wrecking is defined by an unparalleled drive for what is deeper. Musically, emotionally, and spiritually this band communicates on a level that is undeniable. Commonly referred to as perfectionists in their obsessive pursuit of sonic excellence and explosive execution, The Wrecking has cultivated a truly unique sound that is readily accessible. By interlocking hook-driven rock with urban grooves and futuristic adventurism, The Wrecking has emerged from the East Coast music scene as a critically acclaimed powerhouse.

The WreckingExplicit sincerity as musicians as well as people has allowed The Wrecking the ability to seamlessly navigate between Christian and mainstream venues with instant credibility and great success. As drummer Darren Elder explained in a previous interview, "Christ has changed my life and the lives of all the guys in the band, and we are so thankful for that, that's the essence of what the songs are about. We truly respect what anyone believes and want to be sensitive to that, we just want to say, Hey, His love is beautiful and it sustains us".

This passion has sparked an ever-increasing blaze of not only hope inspiring songs but a attlecry for the abolition of slaves around the world. With a stunning debut recording and with a reputation for an exacting live show, The Wrecking is releasing some of the most buzz worthy songcraft emerging from today's alternative music scene. The Wrecking's National Debut "A New Abolition" hit stores in August of 2008 via Chosen/Executive/Universal Music Christian Group.
