(Nashville, TN) --
Gearing up for their first nationally-distributed CD in mid-July,
Chosen/Executive/Universal Music band The Wrecking is filming
a music video to coincide with the project's first radio single, "In
Your Eyes," written by Peter Gabriel. The video will be produced in
conjunction with Love 146, a non-profit organization
dedicated to the abolition of child sex
trafficking and exploitation.
"Love146 is delighted to
be working
with
The Wrecking on the concept and production of their upcoming
video," says Andrew Zsigmond, Artist Coalition Leader for Love146.
"The Wrecking has long been an advocate for child survivors of
sex-trafficking. Now, with the production of their video, the band
and Love146 will portray a story of hope and joy at the restoration
of these children. The band is a key player in the Love146 Artist
Coalition, using their voices on behalf of the voiceless." The video
will be filmed next month and released to coincide with the band's
new CD entitled, A NEW ABOLITION, set for release July 15.
The Wrecking
is currently participating in the One Shot Tour, a multimedia
outreach event featuring the band along with hip hop artist Bobby
Bishop. Venues and cities for the tour continue to be added with
upcoming stops to include the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia (home
to 76ers), New Orleans, plus cities in Connecticut, Massachusetts,
New York, among numerous other states. The One Shot Tour is a
unique venture that features an exclusive docudrama directed by
Jeffrey Kubach whose credits include the hit tv show Survivor
as well as other reality shows and music videos. The film is
seamlessly interspersed with live performances from The Wrecking
and Bishop, and has been described by one spectator as "MTV, with
Jesus at the center."
"Every show is an awesome labor of love for us," says
The Wrecking lead vocalist and co-founder Doug Elder. "We
have a constant desire to bring to God the most excellent offering
that we can, particularly in our performance and in our availability
to connect with people and share the love of God on a personal
level. It has been amazing to watch the response to the One Shot
events, and we are privileged to be part of this unique experience."
The Wrecking's
song "Inside" from A NEW ABOLITION will be featured on the
Underground Sound Series set to release via EMI/CMG/Nuspring in late
May. The series features 15 of the "hottest up-and-coming acts in
Christian music today."
The Wrecking has already signed a licensing
agreement with the MTV Network for the songs from A NEW ABOLITION
to be placed on various shows and networks such as MTV, VH1,
Nickelodeon, Spike tv, among others.
In addition to partnering with Love 146, The
Wrecking also works with International Justice Mission, a human
rights agency that secures justice for victims of slavery, sexual
exploitation and other forms of violent oppression. Additionally,
The Wrecking partners with Soulfest in Gilford, New
Hampshire, the largest multi-day music festival of its kind in the
Northeast, which attracts over 12,000 attendees annually.
