Above The Golden State Back With Second Album 'The Golden Rule'
US rockers Above The Golden State, from Portland Oregon, will release their second album 'The Golden Rule' on 26th January 2010 as the follow up to their 2008 critically acclaimed self-titled debut.
Discussing the album frontman Michael Watson said, "I feel like we got a fresh, clean, unbiased start to following Christ and understanding God through his Word, and that's why we draw from who we are and share that message musically. The Golden Rule, to love God and your neighbor as yourself, is a commandment we've all been given. Through these songs, we want to encourage the Church to return to that fundamental truth. We are constantly pursuing God upward, serving God within our community and going into the world to share His message."
The band addresses authentic Christianity in 'The Real You' and couples that with a practical application in 'Tragedy', where the band investigates life's darker realities that come with divorce, cancer, lost jobs or even loss of faith.
The album's first single 'I Am Loved' is currently playing on Christian radio and the band will debut new music from 'The Golden Rule' on tour with label mate Sanctus Real this spring.
