Franklin, TN (February 27, 2008) – Tonecrash Records is pleased to announce the addition of Atlanta-based rock band, Finding Favour, to its label roster. The group's self-titled debut, produced by label founder Barry Blair, is currently available as a digital release through iTunes and the Tonecrash Records website and can also be purchased at the band's live performances. A street date to bookstores will come later this year.

The foundation of Finding Favour was laid when vocalist Blake Neesmith and guitarist Allen Dukes began working together in their home church's worship team. A short time later, bassist Dustin Daniels joined them, and eventually guitarist Ricky Dunn rounded out the group. Arising from a range of diverse influences such as blues, gospel, rock, and funk, the band masterfully commands their sound, speaking with authority both musically and lyrically, while inspiring the listener to reach for the unreachable. The band has played alongside several well-known Christian artists including Jeremy Camp, Jonah 33, and By The Tree.

"We are so blessed to to sign on with a label that shares our integrity and love for God," explains Neesmith. "I can't wait to see what God has in store for us. It's going to be an exciting ride!"

Finding Favour's first single, "Hear Them Breathe," is currently at radio and the foursome is gearing up to perform the song live as they travel throughout the Spring and Summer, making stops at festivals, churches and camps across the country. In addition, the band continues to lead worship at Cedar Crossing Church of God, their home church in southern Georgia.

A ministry focused label, industry veteran Barry Blair announced the launch of Tonecrash in 2007 with the goal of developing and building careers for young independent artists. The label signed its debut artist, Two Empty Chairs, shortly after its launch and added Finding Favour to the roster in early 2008. Finding Favour is managed by Randy Maricle (Warren Barfield, Across the Sky, Palisades) of Maricle Management Group.

"We are very excited about partnering in the ministry of Finding Favour," comments Blair, producer and Tonecrash label head. "They have an incredible ministry that is reaching thousands of young people and we at Tonecrash Records are thrilled to help them advance that ministry into new places."
