'All Star United' History:
Although the pop/rock quintet hails from Nashville, Tenn., their die-hard tour morphs into the wild mission of "being one of the few Christian bands to take over the globe." All Star United's earth-trotting concert schedule - reminiscent of megasuperstars like U2 and the Rolling Stones - should come as no surprise given the title of the band's sophomore album, "International Anthems for the Human Race." The genre mishmash and fun-without-apologies style that characterized All Star United's debut is back, in even fuller, bursting-at-the-seams force. Why? Both lyrically and musically, International Anthems is a reflection of five young men who've seen an incredibly diverse array of people and places in the last couple of years, and have incorporated those experiences into all that they do. Albeit well-traveled, All Star United has found time to build quite a successful career right here in the United States. In addition to an exhaustive state-side touring schedule, including two tours with labelmates Third Day, All Star United's self-titled debut received a Grammy nomination for Rock/Gospel Album Of The Year, and garnered the band four #1 radio singles including the #1 Rock Song Of The Year ("Smash Hit") in 1997. The band was also honored by CCM Magazine and the readers of Release Magazine as one of the Best New Artists Of 1997. 7 Ball Magazine voted All Star United one of the Ten Best Albums of 1997. |
