Acclaimed pop/rock/worship band
The Neverclaim releases tomorrow (July 16) its first full-length studio album in two years,
The Joy, from Radiate with The Fuel Music distribution. Produced by GRAMMY nominated, two-time Dove Award-winning Producer of the Year Ian Eskelin,
The Joy has already sparked the free-spirited, rock 'n' roll-riffing, gang-vocal'd lead single and
title track along with the new clarion call for believers, "
Jesus Is," which is among the Most Added songs this week at AC Christian radio.
Another brand new track from
The Joy, "Mighty Men of God," became an anthem for many during Father's Day last month, as the first live performance video recorded live from the Vineyard Church in Urbana, IL, "
Rules And Reigns," was debuted by Worship Leader and will be featured on the Sept/Oct Song Discovery disc.
"One of the greatest joys as a Christian is knowing that the God who loves His children has all ultimate power and authority," says The Neverclaim's Jeremiah Carlson. "'Rules And Reigns' testifies to the great reality that there truly is no one like our God. He is all-powerful, all wonderful and in His presence the nations will shake and they will sing, 'Our God rules and reigns.'"
With the band's fans driving The Neverclaim's
PledgeMusic campaign to over 120% of its goal, critics are also heaping acclaim on
The Joy:
"There's no doubt The Joy is The Neverclaim's strongest release to date. While not oblivious to life's struggles, the songs declare Jesus' supremacy over challenges through personal appeals to each of us. The content is solid, and musically, it covers some new ground for the band. It's also devoid of slow songs, which is rare this day in age, but really pushes the power and emphasis of the positive message." --

"The songs on the pop-rock album rejoice in multiple aspects of God's great love for mankind and the victory won by Christ; regardless of the circumstances in our broken world." --

Also featured on
The Joy is the infectious, worshipful choruses of "Everything" and "Our God Wins." In the spirit of John 16:33, Carlson says, "Almost every song on The Joy is centered around the joy of the Lord as our strength--our identity in Christ and the victory that's won in Christ. Not that we shy away from the reality that living in a broken world affects all of us, but despite our hardships, we have access to a greater reality that fills our hearts with joy. We believe people are hungry for authentic joy, a joy that is not based on circumstances, but on the fact that God is for us, so nothing can be against us."
