Since November of 2006, AWAIT THE DAY has been on a journey of
faith as they continue to write, record and play live with momentum
that is unexplained. Originally asked to lead worship at a men's
retreat, they soon found out that God had more in mind than just
a one time event. After this particular weekend they felt that there
was more to come than the occasional weekend event, beginning a long
road of rehearsing every week and writing original songs that seem
to just keep coming. Currently in the studio working on their debut
EP “Beginnings” the future looks bright. The opportunities continue
to present themselves to this band as they keep their hearts and
minds open to this calling of music.
AWAIT THE DAY is a band driven and motivated to share the word with
every breath. They continue to press on into the unknown with new
music all the time as they work their way to the top. This is not
your average rock band. These guys continue to move forward always
staying positive in any situation. There is emotion, feeling, songs
that inspire and songs that relate to anyone that may share in the
everyday struggle we call life. There is no real formula to the writing
style, no one exclusive way these songs are created. The only constant
in this band is that their music never stops evolving, always improving
and growing. AWAIT THE DAY is not just looking for that hit song
to make it "big". There is meaning and hope behind every lyric, a
message to be shared in every song and a passion for Jesus Christ
that will not be replaced by fame or anything this world has to offer.
"One of my favorite lyrics (I don't belong here) is from the band
Switchfoot," says singer Ben Fontenot . "That is the most powerful
statement I think I've ever heard...it's so true". "We are here to
make a difference but we are not here to stay". The band feels that
they have been called to serve a higher purpose than just playing
music in the garage or having a good show at some bar. They believe
that what they say and do in this life directly affects theirs' and
others' salvation. On a journey to save, with edgy guitar licks and
melodic ballads as their tools, they inspire the crowd as well as
draw them into their world of songs.
