Through The Fire

The Wave hopes their personal testimonies will allow listeners to relate to them as individuals, thus allowing doors of ministry to open. "God hit me like a wave," says singer/songwriter Jonothan Powell. Powell uses the analogy of a child at the beach being "tackled and rolled over, totally caught up" in the wave, to illustrate his point. Filling out the band is bassist Keith Axelson and drummer Scott Fox, whose musical abilities compliment Powell's driving guitar riffs and distinctive vocals creating a sound influenced by 80's rock acts. All members agree that their sound does not necessarily resemble amy of their influences. The result is a new style of skillfully written, straight-forward hard rock. The three members of The Wave have a good reason to rock. "I feel a great need to share the Gospel," says Powell. "God has given me a gift and I should use this gift to share His message." Fox and Axelson agree.
