(Nashville, TN) November 19, 2002 – Furious? Records Inc. artists Delirious?, All Star United and Graham Kendrick, all release critically acclaimed new albums today.

Label founders and multi-million selling, Delirious?, releases its fifth studio project in the US, Touch. Critics are already heralding the album:

“Delirious? was the vanguard of the modern-worship movement and the first group to erase the boundaries between worship and modern rock. They’re still the best. And Touch may be their best album…The music is varied; beautifully executed, and stunningly original…” – CBA Marketplace

“…a delirious mix of sound and lyrics well worth lending an ear.” – CCM Magazine

“With the new Touch, Delirious steps further ahead into uncharted musical territory with a release of admirable depth and heart-felt passion…the band continues its honest exploration of faith, hope, and love…Producer Chuck Zwicky promotes an almost live feel to Touch, keying off the band’s well-known energy while casing it in an unique organic wrapper…and keeps these UK lads churning out music of majesty.” – www.amazon.com.

Produced by Chuck Zwicky (Semisonic, Prince), Touch is all about finding and hanging onto that touch from the eternal, the one without which we cannot survive. Accompanying every copy of the album sold through the band’s recently launched label, Furious Records Inc., will be a bonus disc that includes six compelling live performances of fan favorites and three highly sought after music videos. The recording also features a unique touch-sensitive slipcase made with thermo-chromic ink.

Grammy-nominated rockers, All Star United releases Revolution, its first new project in over four years. Within just six years, All Star United presented the world with a critically acclaimed and self-titled debut, followed by the highly successful albums, International Anthems For The Human Race and Smash Hits. Racking up five No. 1 radio hits, the band’s first-ever AC single from Revolution, “Sweet Jesus,” is already gaining widespread radio airplay and critical acclaim.

Here is what the critics are saying:

“Revolution is a total, head-turning package inside or outside Christian music.” - CCM Magazine

“All Star United’s sound is still as peppy, energetic, and fun as ever before; in fact, the band has never sounded better… All Star United’s sound is a refreshing break from the typical pre-packaged Nashville fluff that many Christian artists turn to these days.” - The Phantom Tollbooth (tollbooth.org)

“Throughout this album, there are powerful, gutsy, fun guitars and fast flowing solos that sound great, as well as a couple of slower songs to add diversity and inventiveness to this album… Despite the cleverness and the fun, the lyrics never stretch far from the serious hope that is found in Christ Jesus, that Ian has certainly found.” - Gospelsite.net

Graham Kendrick, the famed songwriter of the international worship anthem, “Shine Jesus Shine,” brings another stirring set of Christ-centered, Bible-based praise and worship songs with What Grace. After listening to the recording, ChristianityToday.com says, “Graham confirms himself as a strong songwriter, worship leader, and music minister, certainly worthy of the attention of American audiences craving a meaningful expression of praise to the Lord.”

Considered one of the most prolific songwriters of modern worship music, Kendrick is at the cutting edge of today’s culture, using contemporary music in worship. From small church services to Promise Keepers, from Billy Graham Crusades to an open air mass of four million people where the Pope swung his staff in time to Kendrick’s music, this prolific songwriter’s works have travelled far-and-wide, reaching the ends of the earth. Translated into numerous languages and sung by millions, his songs have crossed denominational lines, reaching straight to the heart of the people who have embraced the message within.

Formed earlier this year by UK-based Furious Records?, Furious? Records Inc. remains true to the original vision of the company: to garner worldwide attention for its artists, to create quality music and to run the business with integrity and professionalism. While maintaining its independent structure, Furious? Records Inc. partners with the world’s largest Christian record distributor, Chordant Distribution, a division of EMI CMG, for distribution.
