Resurrection Band Biography
Christian rock pioneers the Resurrection Band formed during the early 1970s, a product of the Jesus People USA revival movement sweeping the west coast during that time; comprising vocalists Glenn and Wendi Kaiser, guitarist/keyboardist Stu Heiss, bassist Roy Montroy and drummer John Herrin, the group -- also known as simply Rez -- debuted in 1974 with Music to Raise the Dead, followed that same year by All Your Life. After a four-year hiatus, Resurrection Band resurfaced with Awaiting Your Reply, beginning a highly prolific period which saw the group issuing a new LP virtually every year through the mid-1980s. With 1988's Silence Screams, they inaugurated their own label, Grrr Records. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
