David Ashley Trent releases the official music video for his latest new release titled “Storm Chaser.” The track released last month (Aug 5). “Storm Chaser” is available now.
“I’m praying this song finds its way to the ears of the person who is like me and struggles with being a little apathetic from time to time, especially in my walk with the Lord,” David shares on social media. “‘Storm Chaser’ is about the most important calling of pursuing the Lord with all that is within us. It’s a desire to be overcome by the wonderfully terrifying glory of God and knowing there is no safer place on earth.”
Provident Label Group/Sony Music announces the latest single from singer/songwriter Ben Fuller,“Chasing Rebels” today. Listen HERE. The song’s powerful music video is also out and can be viewed HERE and below. “Chasing Rebels,” along with Fuller’s debut single “Who I Am,” will be included on his debut album, Who I Am, which is available for PRE-ORDER now and set for release on September 23.
Like most of Fuller’s songs, the heartfelt ballad “Chasing Rebels” is an autobiographical look at who he used to be versus who he’s become through Christ. “I wrote this song with Tony Wood and Michael Farren…we were talking about how I’d been so rebellious and how God has a way of chasing rebels down. He’s coming for us. There’s nothing more powerful than seeing people’s faces when they hear that – He’s coming for you.”
Debuting with “Who I Am,” which is currently Top 10 at radio and rising, quickly showcased Fuller’s open-hearted honesty about how the love of Jesus can change your life. He’s open and honest about the darker side of his past, confident his life has changed for good. “This song is an anthem for me,” he shares. “It allows me to remind myself who I am. I left the old me. It’s a powerful song to watch people own for themselves and watch them shout it out loud. There’s nothing like kids and adults and everyone in between singing, ‘I’m a child of the most-high God and the most-high God is for me.’”
Fuller’s unflinching honesty about his past invites people to share their stories and personal pain with him, and he cannot wait to share “Who I Am,” “Chasing Rebels,” and more when he heads out on the road with labelmate Zach Williams this fall and Christmas. The “Zach Williams Fall 22 Tour” kicks off September 14 in Mobile, AL, and runs through Oct. 20 wrapping in Bartlesville, OK. The “I Don’t Want Christmas To End Tour” will be out through December.

Munday Martin has released “Bells Of Heaven” today (September 2), his fourth song in a series of singles off his second album which will drop in December 2022.
Munday Martin was promoted as the best up and coming artist in Nashville Tennessee by Nashville‘s biggest rock station recently, and without question is certainly making waves in the Christian and secular music industry with his retro rock vibe reminiscent of the 80s and 90s.
‘Bells Of Heaven’ is a song I wrote as a dialogue from a troubadour traveling and greeting strangers with the word of king Jesus to the youth of today as well as to leaders of nations. -Munday
Martin cleverly used pros and poetry to get his point across. The surf rock nods take you back to the loving sounds of The Beach Boys without being too redundant, and yet has a modern indie rock sound people will love. There’s a certain mysterious darkness the song alludes to “hidden treasures of darkness” (Isaiah 45:3) with a glorious light that is about to break out. This light is the second coming of Christ. It’s an admonition to all that hear it to be ready for Jesus coming as a thief in the night. The lyrics will remind you of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen but with respect is ALL Munday Martin.
Producer John Mark Painter (DC Talk, The Grits, Steve Taylor, Fleming and John) who works on all of Munday Martin’s solo career songs did a phenomenal job on this one. It is definitely one of Munday Martin‘s favorites he has worked on so far.
