Inhabited to release “The Revolution”

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.”

With a multi-format radio single, “Open My Eyes,” currently vying for position at Rock and CHR, The Revolution is in full swing. In preparation for the record's release, Inhabited set out on a two week promotional tour early last month. The trek took them to Houston, Texas, Dallas, Tulsa, Okla., Springfield, Mo., Nashville, Tenn., and Memphis, Tenn, among other stops.

Comprising Sara Acker (vocals), Marcus Acker (guitar), Jerrett Horn (drums), James Colvin (bass), and Justin Tinnel (guitar), Houston-based Inhabited began when brother-sister duo Marcus and Sara started out leading worship for their church youth group in 1999. With a heart for missions and love of music, the twosome began composing their own songs, playing at festivals, churches, prisons, coffee shops, inner-city outreaches, and retreats, among other venues. Jerrett, James, and Justin joined shortly thereafter. Inhabited recently gained national attention with its independent project Innerview , which featured the Top 10 Rock and Top 20 CHR hit “Rescue Me.” Inhabited has also been in the spotlight opening on various dates for Newsboys, Todd Agnew, and Mathew West. The group signed with Fervent Records in January.
