Although bands such as Switchfoot and Jars of Clay are household names, the artists who paved the way for their success by first introducing modern rock to Christian music are all but forgotten by the very industry they created, and equally unknown by fans of the artists who have come in their wake. Now, these neglected pioneers are telling their story, covering both when they blazed a trail on which others now follow and what they're doing today.This book isn't about where are they now, but who are they now.
