Sanctus Real's Face Of Love Loved By MercyMe, @MySpace, Etc.

Brentwood, TN (Sparrow Records) - With the April 4 release date just around the corner for Sanctus Real's third album, THE FACE OF LOVE, fellow musicians, media members, and everyday music fans alike are showing their excitement for what looks to be the award-winning rock band's breakthrough project.

Mike Scheuchzer, guitarist for platinum act MercyMe ("I Can Only Imagine"), heard an advance copy of THE FACE OF LOVE and calls it, "Hands down the strongest effort from Sanctus... and easily one of the strongest rock records in CCM this year. I love it!"
The Phantom Tollbooth advises: "Plunk your hard earned cash down, folks; this one is worth the investment."

At Sanctus Real's MySpace page, more than 19,000 friends have registered in just two months to check out sneak preview audio clips from THE FACE OF LOVE, including first single "I'm Not Alright" which is already a Top Ten (and climbing) hit on the national Christian Radio Weekly pop chart.

Sanctus Real launched its national career with Sparrow Records (EMI) in late 2002 and set the pace for its future with the 2004 sophomore effort FIGHT THE TIDE. To date, the Ohio-based band has charted three No 1 radio hits - "Everything About You," "The Fight Song," and a powerful cover of U2's "Beautiful Day" - and won the 2005 GMA Music Award for Modern Rock Album of the Year.
Leading up to the April 4 release of THE FACE OF LOVE, Sanctus Real will offer weekly behind-the-scenes looks at the "I'm Not Alright" video shoot online. See these exclusive clips and more at SanctusReal.com.
