Album Notes

Denver, CO based group Situation was formed in March of 1997, and within five months were asked to perform at Tomfest sharing the main stage with Joy Electric and The Echoing Green for a crowd of over 2000 people.  In 1998, the band recorded their first two songs, which were chosen by Tooth & Nail Records to be included on a compilation CD and went on to receive rave reviews.  The band has continued to sharpen its live shows by performing the past three summers on the Extreme Tour, playing clubs, churches, festivals, and other events totaling 500 shows in all.

Situation is Bill Fort (vocals), Misty Fort (vocals), and Noah Sogolow (keyboards) and they describe their sound as electro/synthpop/new wave. The band says, "our songs speak of hope and turning mourning into dancing! We write songs from the heart and spirit and we believe the word of God when it says, 'out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks'. This is so true of these songs."

"A New Wave of Joy" is a collection of high energy, danceable tracks produced in part by Joey Belville (Echoing Green) and Quinton Gibson (Strange Celebrity, Plumb, Nate Sallie).
