notes

Birmingham, Alabama based Floodgate, has been ministering to people around the southeast since 1998. Their music is a mature brand of Rock which rides solidly upon the guitar wizardry of veteran lead guitarist, Taz Turner, and the vocal eloquence of Scott Smith and Jason Flebotte.

Their songs use Biblically based lyrics that inspire and challenge Christians, and share the good news of Jesus Christ to non-Christians, as well. Their songs include driving rock, moving ballads, as well as acoustic praise and worship songs.

Floodgate uses two lead vocalists, which gives each song a unique sound. Being from the South, the music inherits a slight southern flavor that is evident from the vocals to the guitars.

Under the production prowess of veteran rocker Marc Phillips (founder of MCA supergroup, Hotel, in 1979 and had 5 Billboard Top 100 hits), Floodgate released their first CD, entitled "Are You Ready?" in May of 2002. With the release of "Are You Ready", Floodgate garnered the attention from Alabamas largest Christian radio station, WDJC 93.7FM, who named the band their local artist of the month for May of 2002. Their power worship ballad, "More Love", received significant airplay and still resides in their "praise and worship" rotation.

Floodgate's sophmore CD, "Hero", is also produced by Marc Phillips and was released in June of 2004. This CD is vastly different from their debut CD, with a more driving sound and deeper lyrics. Two tracks on the CD have already received airplay at several radio stations.

Floodgate spends their weekends around the southeastern United States, performing at churches, youth retreats, christian concerts, and outdoor music festivals and has shared the stage with such signed artists as Skillet, David Crowder Band, Salvador, Todd Agnew, Jeff Deyo, and Big Daddy Weave, and KJ-52.

    author: Mary C. Stewart

    We saw the group Floodgate at our church my son really likes the song (are you ready). He really liked the part where Taz uses that instrument to alter his voice. I recomend this group to everyone I meet. I wish they would come back to Jasper again.

    It Rocks!!I love the hard, intense rock sound. 35 years old, mom of 3, loving this cd. I need christian inspiration in my life, and their music really helped me connect even more. This cd drips with a thick, rich, souful hardrock sound. But, deeply christian. Awesome band. I am glad to have stumbled onto the website. Bookmark this one people..

  • What a great CD!
    author: Cindy Meyer Sheldon

    This "Hero" CD is great! My fav is "God of me". I do not normally listen to heavy style rock music of any sort. When I heard Floodgate on Praise 95 out of P'cola, Florida, I knew if Praise 95 was playing them they had to be annointed by God and I had to have that CD! The big thing is that they are not screaming the songs. There is order, melody and you can understand the words! I'm from B'ham myself 20 years ago,now living in Florida. I'm glad B'ham has Christian artists like this to influence young and old alike. Keep it up guys! Lord Bless you! Jesus Loves You! He has a plan and a purpose for your life! Thanks much! Cindy

  • Awesome, I never knew that christian rock could sound so good.
