Everybody always associates contemporary Christian singer/songwriter Ray Boltz with his gentle church worship standards, "Thank You" and "I Pledge Allegiance to the Lamb," but another facet of the hitmaker's career people are just realizing is his record label ownership. It was only two years ago that Boltz switched his artist hat to that of an A&R man, combing the country for a diverse line-up of acts he thought would best impact the church's many musical tastes.

When it came to having an alternative rock and roll sound, the group GS Megaphone hit his radar screen thanks to its aggressive power and brute melodic strength, along with drummer Randy Shreve's ability to write spiritually minded declarations of truth. The group's debut recording, Out of My Mind, may not have caught on fire as much as Boltz would have hoped, but three Dove nominations and a fair amount of critical acceptance (championed in particular by HM Magazine) showed his investment had indeed paid off to a certain degree, leaving enough interest for GS Megaphone to create a second record.
