Louder Than The Music

Desperation Band, the youth worship band at Colorado Springs-based New Life Church, has released its all-new album, 'BANNER', this week.

Recorded live during the July 2014 Desperation Conference, the acclaimed, 12-song album captures the spirit and energy of youth at worship during the conference, while sharing a deeply-rooted belief that the God of ages past is alive, well and moving mightily among people who are desperately committed to Him.

LouderThanTheMusic.com will premiere a new live performance video of 'We Are Yours', taken from the Digital Deluxe version of the album next week, along with offering a free song download from the album.

Jon Egan, who helped form Desperation Band in 2001 and now mentors a new generation of worship leaders and songwriters at New Life Church, co-wrote with Jason Ingram, Jonathan Moos, Nico Perez and others for the new album.

For the title track, Egan shares, "I'd been wanting to write a song about God being our banner, the ancient truth that God is with us, leading the march through history. One of our young guys came in with some music and I brought some direction for the lyrics, and it just came together. It’s so ancient, so 'Moses and the Old Testament', yet to these guys it seems fresh and cool, which I think is great."
