Four-time Dove Award-nominated progressive rock band, Leeland, has announced the February 26th, 2008 release of its second studio album, Opposite Way. Opposite Way was produced by Matt Bronleewe (Michael W. Smith, Natalie Imbruglia), mixed by Ben Grosse (Ben Folds, Red Hot Chili Peppers) and was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee at Smoak Stack Studios and Pentavarit Studios.
Leeland front man, Leeland Mooring, shares about the heart behind the band's new album, "Opposite Way is a call to our generation to passionately walk the 'opposite way' of the world; that it's ok to live the Christian life and be on fire for God, even if it makes us look different. We want to encourage, inspire and raise up a new generation of worshippers."

What's is that fresh new sound on Christian radio? It's the new band Leeland blowing everyone away with their upbeat melodies and deep lyrics. Leeland Mooring leads this amazing band with his amazing lyrics and distinct voice. Their first CD "Sound of Melodies" was welcomed with open arms into the Christian community. Since their first CD took off like it did, Leeland has come up with a new CD titled "Opposite Way". Personally, I wasn't sure I was going to like the new CD just because the first CD was so awesome. I was sorely mistaken. With Leeland's amazing melodies and ultra-deep lyrics, this is my new favorite CD. If you are ready to hear something different and worship the Lord on your own, this is the band for you.

I really enjoyed their first album. But I have to say there music has really matured. I don't know if there is a song on this new cd that I don't enjoy. I will be recommending this album to many. Great music!!!

No sophmore slump| Posted January 21, 2008
After getting a quick listen to Leelands latest cd "Opposite Way" I can safely say that there is no sophmore slump here. First time I listen to a cd I normally look for a few good songs to stand out and those that are filler. There are no filler songs here. The cd has a strong opener in "Count Me In" and closes strong with "May Our Praise". I know that with more times listening this could very well be one of the best releases of 2008.
