National Debut Addresses Teen Concerns; Produced by Industry Veteran Monroe Jones

(Nashville, TN.) - Fervent Records' girl-fronted rock band Inhabited will release its national debut, The Revolution , July 12. Produced by Monroe Jones (Jackson Browne, David Crosby, Third Day), the album confronts tough teen issues, prompting this generation to take action.

With its primary ministry focus on teens, Inhabited has produced a record that echoes themes of isolation, confusion, misdirection, temptation, search for identity, and social pressure. A mentor to teens herself, lead singer Sara Acker expresses their pain, and her own struggles, through crying lyrics that beg for guidance, truth, contentment, and divine redemption.

“Open My Eyes,” is a plea for clarity of purpose, while “Everybody Listen” suggests a revolt against societal lies regarding image and outward appearances. “Save My Life” recognizes the conflict between flesh and spirit, reminding us of God's mercy.

“I want our music to go where we cannot and speak to the people we may never meet,” comments frontwoman Acker. “I want to captivate even the skeptics and stimulate their thoughts, causing them to revisit their questions about God's existence. I want these songs to reach the unloved; I want the deaf to hear, the lost to find truth, the abused to find healing, the lonely to feel comforted, and the ashamed to live again.”

The Revolution exudes a sound that is equally hard-hitting as its message. With fast-paced guitar riffs and bold vocals, its musicianship matches Inhabited's forthright lyrics. “Rescue Me,” the Top 10 Rock single from Inhabited's independent project, has been re-recorded for its Fervent Records debut. The track exemplifies this album's intensity, showcasing heavy percussion and screeching strings.

“Something that's unique about Inhabited is the fact that I know they're passionate about bringing God's love into a hurting world, and I can hear it in the music,” comments Jones. “It's heavy, forceful, beautiful and encouraging all at the same time. I was blessed by the experience of working with Inhabited, and now I'm blessed by their friendship. Man, this band is the real thing.”
