Band pops up just West of Here

Brotherhood its what ties the Adams family together, or more accurately, brotherhood, music and their faith in God.

The Adams brothers, Matt, Taylor and Tristan grew up in Alberta Beach playing music together at home and in church and look forward to the upcoming release of their first album, The Journey.

With a rock sound, the Adams Christian band, West of Here, penned more than 20 songs in preparation for their first album and after narrowing it down to half as many tracks, released their first single in October.

Theyre not all one certain style so you wont get bored going through the whole album, Matt said, describing the tracks as having a pop, rock and southern rock sound.

The whole album is somewhat akin to the journey of life.

Hence the title.

And despite the bands relatively new radio play, West of Here received two 2014 Covenant Award nominations, which are presented annually as part of the GMA Canada Week.

With award nominations for Rock Song of the Year and Rock Album of the Year, West of Here headed to B.C. to take part in the 36th annual Covenant Award ceremony, held on Thursday, Nov. 13.

Were extremely excited... I think theyre happy to promote good new music, Matt said of the GMAs.

But getting this far hasnt been without its challenges, which have ranged from time management, funding and sourcing musicians that will support their sound, he said.
