Kevin Max & Audio A

Yeah, I've been hearing that rumor lately too, and Kevin's started hinting at it a bit on his fb too, but no one's saying anything "official" yet.  Not sure about this one.  I loved Audio Adrenaline, but the thought of Kevin fronting them seems really weird to me.  (But Tait fronting Newsboys seemed weird to me when that news broke too.)  It's like 90s hybrid time these days.

Jury is still out for me on this one.  Keeping my fingers crossed that it works out well.  On the good side...maybe someone could organize a tour of Audio A, Newsboys, and Toby Mac, with a special appearance by dcTalk?  Now THAT would sell out in half a heartbeat.  (But that begs the question-who would headline it?)

Yeah, I caught John's "Hands and Feet" reference too, but hadn't looked at the Audio A artist profile lately.  Very, very interesting...

Well, it's official!! Kevin Max is now the lead singer of Audio Adrenaline, with Stu G (formerly of Superchick) as lead guitarist. CCM magazine reported this last night. More importantly JFH changed their Audio Adrenaline artist profile. :-)
Looks like I'll be brushing up on my Audio A now. Congratulations Kevin.
Thoughts, people?

Of course, now the story is updated and Superchick guitarist Dave Ghazarian is in! oops

crazy news, huge development! can't wait to hear what they come up with. gotta agree with most everyone else who thinks it's a bit wrong to use the Audio A name when, honestly, this line-up would have likely been pretty dang marketable without it. But i'm not stressing, just looking forward to the new music. And Kevin Max rocking out to "Big House" and "Get Down" should be fun

@Catchafire -- haha! You caught both of those nuggets, eh? (twitter and AA profile). That's awesome. :) I thought the 'hands & feet' remark was subtle just enough ;)  Nice catch!

I really need to hear some music from this collaboration before I come to any real conclusion on this.

Wait, you've heard stuff that these guys have played together? Where can I find this?

PryeBall -- they privately let me hear demos. They're not online.

I think they're aiming for a 2013 release. With the news leaked earlier than they planned, I don't know if that will change the scheduling/plans at all?

Looking forward to hearing this whenever they do

@guitargeekette -- seriously! If someone told 14-year-old me that this was gonna happen when I was seeing my first AudioA show, I wouldn't believe it. It still just sounds so bizarre and 'alternate-dimension'...

What's a real kicker to me, too, is if you look at Newsboys' "Thrive" DVD from years ago, Tait shows up and does a guest vocal spot. And then in Audio A's 1993 album "Don't Censor Me," Kevin Max sings a duet with Mark Stuart on "My World View"

FORESHADOWING!!  :)

Couldn't help myself, man. :) John's foreshadowing post made me think Twilight Zone :P

Can't wait to hear this! Wonder when touring will begin?

Alright, the Kings & Queens video is up on Godtube and Youtube.

The video was ok-the kids were cute and it was fun to see Mark on there briefly.  K-Max's voice is good, though you didn't see the rest of the band very much, but in the context of the video it worked.  As for the song itself...good message, but I wouldn't consider that song particularly catchy or memorable.
