Released February 22, 2008.
This is The [M]useum.
Something significant is happening here...
It all began when Ben Richter [Lead Vocals / Guitars] and Geoff
Ashcraft [Guitar] left behind their native republic of Texas to
head into the unknown of Atlanta, GA in March of 2006. Two weeks
prior, the duo had just released the debut album "Inside
Out" with the Ben Richter Band. Upon arrival in the great
state of Georgia, they quickly found Drummer and Programming
Extraordinaire [covertly disguised as a church janitor], Josh
Kirk. The band quickly began leading worship together and
supporting the new album. In November of that year, Dan Snyder
left the comfort of his Mountainous Tennessee life of
researching conspiracy theories and driving armored trucks to
join in the endeavor.
Together, they led worship and began traveling throughout the
U.S and even into England and Wales for nearly a year before
joining forces with producer Jason Hoard [Steve Fee, Kristian
Stanfill, John Waller, Matt Papa]. In August of '07, they began
work on their first record together. "Reverse This Dying
Trend" began with a sense of urgency to get the message out
through a captivating blend of melodies and instruments. The
album was born out of a desire to see things change. The band
realizes it’s the things we leave behind that make a difference,
the evidence that there has been a revolution. This is bigger
than music...this is a hope to inspire our generation to live
for something bigger than ourselves. They hope that their music
and their lives can be the display that something significant
has happened here and they will never be the same. This is the
Museum. Four guys who want to leave things better than they
found them...
