Plainfield, IL (Top40 Charts/ Relevant Reverence Official Website) - Chicago-based indie rock band, Relevant Reverence, hopes to bring back the full spectrum of Psalms to the modern-day worship experience with their sophomore album, 'The Fallen Cry.' 'Most of the songs we sing at Church gatherings aren't realistic to the struggles people face. We're asking people to sing along to lyrics that don't reflect the reality of their hearts. And it's all because we have softened the original Psalmist,' contends lead singer, Eric Olsen.

Olsen refers to the famous King David, whose musical Psalms are still the backbone lyrics for most contemporary Christian music. But, unlike today's wholly positive anthems, David's Psalms were very personal and relevant to his life circumstances - ranging the full spectrum of emotions from frailty, weakness and doubt, to celebrating spiritual victories and the grandeur and goodness of God.

'And it's only the latter that we're singing. The only ones that seem appropriate coming from inside the walls of stained glass,' says lead guitarist, Matt Johnson. 'We're hoping to help change that.'

The record's title, 'The Fallen Cry', comes from the perspective of each song, sung from the voice of the fallen, a voice the band believes has quite literally fallen silent in the Americanized Church.

Band members Eric Olsen and Matt Johnson met at Bradley University in Peoria, IL and bring indie-rock instrumentalism, erratic guitars and innovative melodies to this sophomore album. Fans have likened the band's style to artists such as Sufjan Stevens, Wilco and Jars of Clay.

Streaming audio from selected songs as well as album purchase is available at www.relevantreverence.com or on iTunes. 10% of all proceeds from the album will be invested in third-world entrepreneurship through Kiva.org.
