FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — Throughout the month of May, which is Mental Health Awareness Month, Christian pop punk artist Grace Graber will be taking over the Faith Artist Agency social media pages to interview other artists on the roster. Members of Kutless, Disciple, The Protest, Manafest, Ashes Remain, The Whosoevers’ Ryan Ries, Holly Starr and more will be featured. The month kicks off at 7:00 PM Central with Josh Bramlett from The Protest, streaming on Faith Artist Agency’s Instagram @faithartistagency.
Artists will be sharing about their personal experiences with mental health, and how their faith has been interwoven throughout their ongoing healing process.
“Faith Artist Agency was created to be more than just a booking agency. That is why we have always chosen to work with like-minded individuals who share our mission to tear down walls, meet people where they are, and share that they are loved,” agency founder and owner Brandy Wahlman shares.
She continues, “With that in mind, we are coming together as an agency to help spread mental health awareness throughout May. It is something that many people deal with, yet the church often overlooks it. I am grateful to all of our artists for participating, for their willingness to be open and share their stories. We want people to know that they are not alone, they are loved and there is hope — no matter what they are going through.”
Grace Graber will be leading the month, as a longtime outspoken advocate for mental health. Through her music and her social media, Grace has hosted difficult conversations about struggle and growth. Most recently, she released the authentic and hope-saturated Conversations EP.
Dates for future live interviews will be announced throughout the month, along with additional encouraging mental health-focused content and resources from Grace and the agency’s artists. You can also follow along on Facebook.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — Acclaimed rock group Disciple has released their latest full-length studio album Skeleton Psalms, an opus of life and death led by the singles “The Executioner” and “Promise to Live.” The album is available from BEC Recordings/Tooth & Nail on all major streaming services at https://disciple.ffm.to/skeletonpsalms.
Disciple’s Skeleton Psalms is the story of humanity told in three parts: brokenness, mercy and ultimate victory.
“Every single song is intertwined and connected with each other,” lead singer and band founder Kevin Young reflects. “They all deal with similar themes, they all have an element of being autobiographical. It’s almost like chapter 1, chapter 2, chapter 3: human depravity, the unconditional love of God, then victory.”
Skeleton Psalms was created in house: produced by guitarist Josiah Prince at his studio The Ranch, written by Kevin Young, Andrew Stanton (guitar) and Josiah Prince, with drums from Joey West and additional backing vocal support from touring bassist Marco Pera. For additional support on instrumentation, Mark “Traa” Daniels (P.O.D.) played bass. The band called on mix engineer Nick Rad (Skillet), mastering engineer Sam Moses (Tenth Avenue North) and the drum recording skills of Lester Estelle (Pillar, Kelly Clarkson) to round out the creative team.
In addition to the three songs that preceded the album, Skeleton Psalms boasts the hauntingly visceral title track “Skeleton Psalm,” the poignant celebration “Resurrecting Reasons,” the savagely ripping “20 20 Blind” and the irresistible compassion of “For the Life of Me.” Sonically, the album paints from a palette colored with every one of the releases in the band’s acclaimed 30-year career. At the same time, the soundscape that ultimately takes shape is wholly the product of the current lineup’s 10 years as a creative unit.
“It’s just the chemistry of the four of us having played so many shows together,” guitarist and producer Josiah Prince reflects. “We have so much instinct now for what the four of us would do on a song when we’re performing it. So when we’re writing the songs, it is informed by that. To me, this album feels the most like the energy that we put out on stage.”
The release of Skeleton Psalms is being celebrated on April 28 through SkeleVision, a special livestreamed album release show with upgrades for exclusive merch. Tickets and upgrades are available now. Disciple is also giving away a custom Xbox S, which you can enter to win through Tunespeak. For more from Disciple, visit https://linktr.ee/disciplerocks.
In their acclaimed career, Disciple has recorded 13 studio albums, earned 16 No. 1 singles, and sold hundreds of thousands of records. Their music has been featured on ESPN’s NFL Live, WWE, Fox Sports, as well as in commercials for CBS’ CSI: Miami and Criminal Minds. They’ve received multiple Dove Awards and played thousands of shows worldwide, including a 2023 stint in 40 arenas on Winter Jam Tour. Currently, Disciple is playing both rock sets and leading worship through their other musical project Honor & Glory.

FOR RELEASE APRIL 28, 2023 — Set For the Fall is back with “Product of Pressure,” a massive rock anthem with an empowering message of resilience and overcoming. The song is their first release in 5 years, and is available now on all major streaming services at https://hypeddit.com/setforthefall/productofpressure.
The song is structured around the blazing riffs that fans have come to expect from Set For the Fall, sizzling through steadily building verses into full-blaze choruses that celebrate the art of overcoming. The band also released a corresponding music video, which you can watch here.
“‘Product of Pressure’ was inspired by the thought of what happens when something or someone endures years of stress and the weight of their profession, or life in general,” lead singer Joey Lassiter explains, digging into the track’s punchy lyrics. “Just like a diamond, they become hardened into something amazing and beautiful. Without the constant pressure, this wouldn’t take place. It’s a declaration of what we have become: the better version of ourselves.”
“Curb stomp, sharpening your teeth on asphalt
Ripping the mask off pretenders
Make you remember
Witness, notches on a concrete hit list
Keeping your head down forever
I am the product of pressure.”
For the band, which consists of Joey Lassiter (vocals), Harrison Muffley (guitar), Donovan Roybal (guitar) and Dylan McLain (drums), “Product of Pressure” crystallizes their own individual experiences over the years since listeners heard from them. From marriages to new children to cross-country moves, the years have been both shaking and clarifying.
Joey reveals, “It was a lot of personal changes and making sure our focus was on our families. Which in turn gave us a vision of what to do this time around, musically. We wanted to write something better than our last record. We threw away many ideas that just were not up to par with what we expected from ourselves.”
That has led Set For the Fall into cowrites and collaboration. For “Product of Pressure,” they worked with producer Andrew Baylis in Nashville. The band is currently working on future single releases that will continue in that collaborative framework.
To be sure you’re in the loop for more new music, you can find the band on all major platforms at https://linktr.ee/SFTF.

As a young woman in high school, I found myself in an unplanned pregnancy. I loved my baby and wanted to keep it, but was surrounded by pressure from others to abort. Unfortunately, I didn’t speak up for my baby and underwent the abortion procedure. The experience left me traumatized, depressed, alone, and suicidal. After two years of suffering, God spoke to me about forgiveness and I began my healing journey.
Ten years later, I found myself in another unplanned pregnancy. I was shocked, but understood that all babies are a gift from God. The dad was and still is struggling with issues of his own and isn’t involved. However, my family was supportive and have helped me raise my sweet baby boy.
A couple months after giving birth, I was reflecting on how blessed I am to have the support I do, and God gave me a heart for women who may be lacking support and community. I thought about how many women there are who want their babies but are being pressured to abort or feel alone and scared. It crushed my heart. I don’t want anyone to suffer the way I did in high school. I don’t want women to abort their babies because they feel alone or are being pressured to.
Although I would love to end all abortions, I feel that God is calling me to this specific niche of women who are being pressured. So, Unite for Lives was born. UFL exists to prevent forced and pressured abortions by empowering women to choose life! I wish someone would’ve been at the abortion clinic the day I underwent the procedure and told me they would help me and my baby – so that’s what I’m going to do!
UFL has a large banner addressing women who may be feeling pressured to abort, and we connect them to community resources depending on what they need given their situation. There are vast financial resources, housing assistance, adoption options, and so on that we can equip women with so they feel confident to choose life. We also offer free postpartum support so that they don’t feel alone.
If a mom signs up for the postpartum program, a volunteer will visit her home to help with housework, running errands, or holding the baby so the mom can rest. Volunteers are also emotionally supportive, and the idea and hope with the postpartum program is to unite community members so we can all support each other and be the hands and feet of Christ. Life is so much better done together!
UFL is also educating communities on the negative emotional impacts of abortion. This issue isn’t discussed enough in our society, and I want to change that. Women ought to be fully aware of the potential psychological risks of abortion such as depression, regret, guilt, shame, anxiety, and more. UFL has a YouTube channel that will be used to educate people on this issue as well as sharing testimonies about abortion trauma to get the conversation going. If you want to share your story, please contact me!
Thanks for taking the time to read my story and learn about UFL. If you would like to learn more or partner with us, you can visit uniteforlives.com or email me at uniteforlives@gmail.com

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — The internationally recognized, high-energy pop band Trampolines has spent the past year dedicating 100% of their profits to missions’ work around the world. The result has fueled aid and evangelism in countries like Ukraine, Ethiopia, Thailand, Italy, Myanmar and Estonia.
Trampolines is led by husband and wife duo Lane and Cary Terzieff. Their electrifying EDM-meets-rock sound has been shaped by Lane’s decade-plus of experience in mainstream music and film. Their message has been enlivened by Cary’s powerful testimony of overcoming suicidal depression and drug addiction. Their stories and strengths have made their music-meets-mission approach a natural fit.
“The closer we get to God, the closer we get to His people, the more we want to pursue the mission,” Lane Terzieff says. “That’s why we were like, ‘what if we gave 100% of the profits back to missions?’ Cary and I both say that it’s the best thing we’ve ever done. It just feels like we’re in lockstep with God.”
Those profits include income from shows both across the United States and around the globe, and income from a string of singles featuring some of the industry’s top talent. Trampolines’ recent releases include Hey You” (featuring Aaron Cole), “Amen to That” (featuring Disciple), “Fight My Fight for Me” (featuring Citizen Way) and “FUTUREGLOW” (featuring Neon Feather). Most recently, the band released “Wake Up,” which you can stream on your platform of choice at https://ditto.fm/wake-up-trampolines.
This path they’ve landed in is the outcome of a divinely-orchestrated adventure story. They were living in China, assisting with a church plant and celebrating a brand-new mainstream record deal, when they were first inspired to turn all of it inside out by founding Trampolines.
That call has led them to playing Jesus-centered songs in post-ISIS occupied territory in Syria. It’s led them to DJ for crowds of over 50,000 people in Myanmar. In total, Trampolines has now played in 20 different countries and 40 U.S. states.
Engaging with such diverse listeners has driven home the urgency of truly dedicating their band 100% to missions work. No matter what cultural differences they encounter, Trampolines finds that every human heart’s needs are the same: resurrection.
“My story has been unique in our ministry,” Cary shares. “I had a lot of feelings of depression and suicidal thoughts. I had very addictive tendencies. I felt like a very troubled kid, and I remember feeling like I was the only one who was going through those things. I feel like I have a unique opportunity now to minister to anyone that feels like that. To put it out there that even though they might feel this way now, there’s hope and there’s a future.”
Through their commitment to fully offering their band to the divine work of restoration, Trampolines has truly seen that that message of hope is universal— whether they’re offering it to teenagers, refugees or warlords.
Trampolines concerts are an opportunity to participate in their international missions work. You can learn more about booking them at faabooking.com/trampolines, and donate directly to their missions at www.LaneAndCary.com. You can also stream their music on Spotify or Apple Music, and follow them on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.###
