Tree63 preps for release of second album



Dove Award-winning rock band Tree63 is not only back on the scene, but better than ever with their October 22 release, The Life and Times of Absolute Truth. With production by Nik Fairclough and lead singer John Ellis, the South-African based group continues their signature sound, combining thought-provoking lyrics with modern rock at its finest.

“Tree63’s ability to create hook-filled songs overflowing with meaning and emotion is what makes them a great rock band. This album reflects the maturity and changes they have experienced since the last record and it has grown them incredibly as a live band,” says Steve Ford, director of marketing at Inpop Records.

Inpop Records has officially released the first single "No Words” to CHR radio, which is getting great initial response. It’s currently going for adds on stations around the US. In addition, Inpop has released another new track, "The Glorious Ones,” to rock radio. Both songs are set to be included in Tree63's live set on the upcoming 40-city Festival Con Dios tour.

The Life and Times of Absolute Truth reflects the changes the band has been through over the past couple of years, both personally and professionally. Due to continual mainstream success in South Africa, they have been offered numerous opportunities in the South African rock market if only they will change their lyrics. More and more, Tree63 realizes that these are the times to stand up for what they believe, spoken about clearly in the project’s song, “All Because.”

John Ellis, lead vocalist, says, “We live in a society where the notion of absolutes is unacceptable. It’s a very tough environment in which to be a Christian. This is The Life and Times of Absolute Truth.” Ellis continues, “Our title invites all that accept there is an absolute to stand and declare it to the world and say, ‘Your collection of lies is unacceptable; there is one truth, and His name is Jesus.’”
