Nashville, TN - Joining successful label mates Big Daddy Weave, BarlowGirl and By The Tree, newly signed pop/rock band
EXIT EAST will release its self-titled label debut January 18.
Brad Avery of Third Day says, “I have had the pleasure of knowing these guys and experiencing them use their gifts on a regular basis.
They have a passionate faith that spills over into everything they do. They are excellent leaders in worship, and tremendous leaders in
service. They are gifted in weaving strong spiritual content with energized and heartfelt music."

EXIT EAST members Jason Foust, lead vocals and keyboard, Jon Stanley, lead guitar, Mitch Brooks, bass and Chris Lindsey, drums, all
hail from the Atlanta, GA area where they began their music career in 1999 as a worship band. Winning AtlantaFest’s “Artist Search”
contest in 2003, producer Otto Price (Out of Eden, Grits, BarlowGirl) took note of the band and came on board to produce the album.
The resulting sound melds catchy guitar parts, floor-shaking drums and groove-heavy bass lines. A sample of their sound is featured
on the recently released Absolute Smash Hits performing “With You,” and on Absolute Favorite Christmas, released in
September, with the lead singer, Jason Foust, singing “O Come, O Come Emmanuel.”

Supporting the single, the band recently wrapped up a 21-city radio promo tour stopping at YES FM, as well as WONU/ Chicago, IL, Way
FM/ Nashville, TN and WOLR/ Gainesville, FL. “All Of This” will additionally go for adds at AC radio on Nov. 12.

following the hurricanes that devastated Florida.
