Casting Crowns is a Christian rock band active since 1999 made up of Mark Hall, Juan DeVevo, Josh Mix, Melodee DeVevo, Megan Garrett, Chris Huffman, and Brian Scoggin. So it started as a student worship band led by Pastor Mark Hall. They moved to Georgia in 2001 and released two independent albums. They won the GMA Regional Songwriters Competition in 2004. They weren't looking for a label, but ended up signed anyway releasing an album in 2003. It became a huge hit, and was followed by another album in 2005, resulting in a Grammy win in 2006. Their next album came out in 2007, then in 2009 they became one of only a few American groups invited to perform in North Korea. Another album came out the same year, then singles have been released yearly. They're still going strong, with twelve albums out so far, the most recent released in 2018. So if Christian rock is your thing, give this a go.
Peace.
