In anticipation of the forthcoming June 24th studio project, To Know That You’re Alive, BEC Recordings’ rockers, Kutless, are currently giving away their first single of the album for free. The debut rock single “The Feeling” is available for download at the exclusive Kutless studio web-site [www.exclusivekutless.com] that features blogs, updates and photos throughout the recording process. Downloads of the song began on Friday at 3:00PM PDT and an hour later more than 1,000 downloads had been given away. Currently the band has given away an astonishing 12,500+ downloads of their single.

“We are very excited to give away our first single,” shares lead singer Jon Micah Sumrall. “We have been working on these songs for months and have been anxiously awaiting our new album’s release. It is very rare that we are able to share the songs that we have been working on, before the release date and this has been a great opportunity for us to share with our fans, some of our enthusiasm for this new record. Giving this song away has allowed many of our fans to be a part of this excitement and anticipation by giving them a brief glimpse into what June 24th may hold when the full-length record is released. We hope that this song simply gets people excited and from the looks of it so far, that seems to be exactly what’s happening!”

To Know That You’re Alive is the band’s fifth full-length album following the hit records that have sold more than 1.5 million copies. The band partnered for the first time with producer Pete Kipley (The Afters, MercyMe, Phil Wickham) for this project. In addition, the album features strings recorded in London at Abbey Road Studios for several songs including the title track. Kutless also recently finished their 30+ acoustic tour this spring. After a summer of key music festivals, Kutless will headline the first ever Creation Tour, which will be a rock replica on wheels of the 30 year-old summer festival.

Stay tuned to YMZ as we will have further updates on the album next week.
