With their husky vocals and uplifting roots-rock anthems, Third Day come off as post-Hootie heartland rockers before the faith-based aspect of their sound even comes up. WHEREVER YOU ARE lacks in neither the surging tunes that made the band Contemporary Christian Music's premier rock band, nor the devotional, spiritually inspirational lyrics that mark them as part of the CCM universe.

Third Day is one of CCM's biggest crossover acts, known as much for their tuneful alt-rock craft as for their earnest faith. Formed in the mid-1990s in Georgia, Third Day started out like most indie bands, gigging relentlessly and releasing low-budget home recordings. In 1996, they signed a multi-album deal with Reunion Records, the premier Christian label, which ensured radio play and audience exposure on a much bigger scale. Tours and collaborations with acts like Newsboys and Michael W. Smith followed, helping to raise their profile even more, and by the '00s, the band were genuine CCM stars, in an offshoot genre--Alternative CCM--that they helped to create.
