Ace AugustineRising from the same fertile Pennsylvania grounds as August Burns Red and Once Nothing, Ace Augustine take their musical cues from the style they naturally grew into. Ace Augustine play solid, technical metal mixed with hardcore elements influenced by not only their Lancaster, PA spearheads, but also by various indie acts.

Ace Augustine are known for being some of the youngest artists to perform with such national acts as Sky Eats Airplane, Anberlin, and MyChildren MyBride. This band is full of tenacious young talent, five promising musicians in their salad days turning their dreams into reality.

The band released their first EP “The Glory of Trumpets” in 2009, and are set to release their debut full length on Strike First Records on Jan. 18, 2011.

This new project follows the band’s first two acclaimed CDs, 2008′s Wonder Of The World and 2007′s Rush Of Fools.

“I’ve been working with Rush Of Fools from the start of their career, and we’ve become family over the years, sharing so much together,” comments Bob Morrison, VP of Christian Music at eOne. “I feel very blessed that we can continue our journey together. My passion for the band and the strengths of eOne will provide them a strong home for their future recordings and career growth. There are exciting things to come!”

AUDIO ADRENALINE’S MARK STUART AND WILL MCGINNISS TO LAUNCH KNOW HOPE COLLECTIVE

By on December 16, 2010 in Music News

Ground-Breaking Initiative Combines Worship Music with Stories of Hope and Inspiration

Know Hope Collective CD to Release February 15

Know HopeMobile, Alabama – (December 15, 2010) – Audio Adrenaline lead singer Mark Stuart and bassist Will McGinniss have returned after a three-year departure. Partnering with Integrity Music and joining some of their favorite emerging voices of worship, these two talents have created the Know Hope Collective, a ground-breaking initiative that combines worship music with stories of hope and inspiration.

According to Stuart and McGinniss, the Know Hope Collective will be an ever-changing group of musicians from a variety of backgrounds who come together to create worship music while sharing their unique experiences and testimonies. “The Know Hope Collective is driven from an emerging style of worship and a place of vulnerability,” explains Stuart. “We go on a journey together through the good, bad and ugly to the redemptive side.”

Stuart says the Know Hope Collective grew out of their own cathartic experience of sharing life stories with friends and church members. “We’d meet at Will’s around a campfire and talk vulnerably with each other about our successes as well as hardships. It was a time of healing and redemption as we discovered the evidence of God’s hand in our lives like never before and the importance of telling one’s story.”

The duo’s pastor urged them to initially take their story-telling on the road, creating an intimate and hope-filled night of music, testimony and worship with friends. Since then,  the Know Hope Collective has appeared across the U.S. and Canada. Additional tour plans are slated for spring 2011 and will be announced shortly.

Their first recorded self-titled project is an enhanced  CD slated to release February 15. The ten-track album was produced by Stuart, McGinniss and Josh Heiner.

“This project was birthed out of the failure I went through,” Stuart says. “But the next one might be on missional living, orphan care or clean water, wherever God is leading us.”

For the Know Hope Collective CD, Stuart speaks far more now than he sings, and shares the microphone with Julia Ross (of popular Disney group Everlife), David Leonard (former Jackson Waters, NEEDTOBREATHE and currently with Sons and Daughters), and 2010 BMI Christian Music Award-winning Songwriter of the Year Jason Walker.

The group introduces new cuts, including “Jealous God,” the radio singles “Attention” and “Build Us Back,” along with meditative reworks of Audio A hits like “Ocean Floor,” “The Good Life,” and “Hands and Feet.”

Following “Attention,” “Build Us Back” is the project’s next radio single, releasing December 27th to AC, CHR and INSP stations.

The enhanced CD includes videos where the Know Hope Collective artists share their personal stories of hope. The project also links to additional content, including information about Hands & Feet, a ministry founded by Stuart and McGinniss to aid orphans and abandoned children.

Additional information, including an EPK is available at knowhopecollective.com. Song charts are available as free downloads at integritymusic.com/knowhopecollective.
