Popular Christian rock quintet Third Day has already made a name for itself not just in the world of spiritual-oriented music, but in the halls of modern rock radio. On COME TOGETHER they continue their exploration of their spirituality through the time-tested verities of pop-rock. This band of southern boys has as much in common with Hootie and the Blowfish as they do with any Christian act. The soulful, rootsy vocals, churning, occasionally blues-flecked guitar work, and driving rhythms generate so much energy that it wouldn't matter if these guys were singing about the joys of wall-to-wall carpeting. The fact that Third Day's charismatic approach succeeds at getting their messages about God and belief across to anyone with an ear for a pop hook is uncontestable proof of ther skills as both gospel messengers and pop stars.

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.
