biography

A Christian rock group based in Ohio, Sanctus Real was formed by guitarists Matt Hammitt and Chris Rohman in 1996 while both were still tenth graders at Toledo Christian School. With Hammitt handling lead vocals, the duo added drummer Mark Graalman and bassist Steve Goodrum to round out the lineup. The group released three independent albums of power pop (All This Talk of Aliens in 1998, Message for the Masses in 1999, Nothing to Lose in 2001) before signing with Sparrow Records, leading to 2002's Say It Loud, which was produced by Pete Stewart. A five-song EP supplement to Say It Loud, entitled SVERIGEEP, appeared in 2003. The band was busy in 2004, placing songs on two Sparrow anthologies ("Beautiful Day" on In the Name of Love: Artists United for Africa and "Promised Land" on Veggie Rocks!) as well as releasing a single, "Everything About You," and a second album on Sparrow, Fight the Tide, produced by Tedd T. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide

  - Sanctus Real is more of an album band than a hit single band. All their albums rock! These are my favorite songs that are not as popular.
    - The Way I Feel
    - Where Will They Go?
    - You Can't Hide
    - Won't Walk Away
    - Where We Belong
    - Beautiful Day

  - A seamless Christian rock band that is one of my favorites. "The Face of Love" is their best album although their new one "We Need Each Other" is not bad at all. Definitely get their best song, "I'm Not Alright". I love their catchy rock style that continues to surprise.
    
    Try it out! You might find you like it!

  - This is my favorite Christian rock band. I just love their style. The Face Of Love album was just amazingly awesome. It is one of the very few albums a band has released that I like EVERY single song. We Need Each Other is good, but it is definitely a lot less rock in it. I would give
    - Turn On The Lights
    a try from that album among other things.
