SEATTLE, WA...April 30, 2010...Releasing their worship project It Is Well, BEC Recordings’ Kutless has inspired fans across the country with their No. 1 hit “What Faith Can Do.” This single topped five radio formats -- CHR, AC Mon, AC Indicator, Inspo as well as spent eight weeks at the top on the National Christian Audience Chart (the most popular Christian song ranked by airplay audience impressions). Recently the band was honored by BEC Recordings with commemorative plaque for the success of this debut single from It Is Well.

About “What Faith Can Do”
This is a song of encouragement to all that God is here, and His power is real. From the beginning this song and album has touched fans. The single remained at the top on the iTunes Christian chart for weeks and digital single sells are now nearing 200k. The slideshow for “What Faith Can Do” on the band’s YouTube page (www.youtube.com/kutless) has been viewed almost 500K times (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7elxC8LXfzE).

“We hoped the song would do well and open the gates for the record, but we've been so thrilled with how much people have connected with the song,” Kutless’ guitarist Nick De Partee shares about the band’s response to the radio single. “The fact that we're in a hurting time in the country, a lot of people have been looking for hope now more than ever.”

Kutless is also currently on the their headline tour “It Is Well A Worship Tour” with The Museum and Chasen through May 8th. For a city near you, visit http://www.kutless.com/tour.aspx.

About Kutless
Launched by original members Jon Micah Sumrall (lead vocals) and guitarist James Mead, the band formed first as a modern rock/worship band at Warner Pacific College in Portland in 2000, influenced by Christian rock predecessors such as the Supertones as well as mainstream modern rockers like Staind, Foo Fighters, and Incubus. Kutless signed to Tooth & Nail/BEC in late 2001 and released its self-titled debut the following year, which went on to become the fastest-selling debut in the label's history. Hearts of the Innocent marked the recording debut of the band's new members, drummer Jeffrey Gilbert and bass player Dave Luetkenhoelter, both formerly of alt-rock band Seven Places. In 2007, Nick De Partee joined the band as the new guitarist after being with the band for over a year as their guitar tech.

This Portland, Oregon-based Kutless has emerged as one of Christian and rock music's hottest acts. Kutless has played before more than 2 million fans in the past five years. In 2009, the band was awarded RIAA Gold Certification for their worship-based album "Strong Tower" in addition to Gold Certification for Long-Form video "Live From Portland." The band has been nominated for multiple Dove Awards, earning its first for the band's participation on the Special Event Album of the Year, the soundtrack to "Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe." Kutless' music also has been featured in television and film. The Kutless song "All of the Words" appeared on the NBC hit TV show "Scrubs," in an episode titled "My Bright Idea." Last year, the band's song "The Feeling" was featured on the Rock Band 2 downloadable track for Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii.
