This paragraph from the band's website says it best: "The combide creative energies of MCs CookBook, Flynn, Joey the Jerk, Sharlok Poems, and the Uno Mas - along with DJ ActivB come together to compose sonic synergies of poetic satire and classic beatsmithing. Beethoven it is not." LA Symphony last played at the Youth Rally in 2003 and we are excited to welcome them back this year.

We welcome back Starfield to the 2008 Youth Rally as our worship leaders for all four general sessions! This band, comprised of four 20-something guys from Canada, seeks to honor God and produce music relevent to young people today. They are best known for songs such as "Revolution", "Filled with Your Glory," and "The Hand that Holds the World," released in 2008.

In addition to releasing albums and a hectic tour schedule, this Canadian pop-punk quartet has kept themselves busy having their songs featured on television shows and commerc ials, portraing The Who on the NBC television show American Dreams, and making their big-screeen debut in the movie "Yours, Mine, and Ours." Their 2004 Tooth & Nail debut album will be re-released in a special edition this October and will feature bonus songs and video footage.

Comprised of brothers Tobin, Justin and Kyle Bawinkel (respecively frontman, drummer and bassist) along with tartan-toting, multi-instrumentalist Josh Robeieson, this Celtic punk band hails from Chicago, Illinois. According to their website "Most of the Flfoot live show is improvised, and it's all contingent on Robieson and crew making swift transitions between guitar, mandolin, bagpipes and whatever other eclectic instruments they bring to the party."
