Modern rock group Mainstay will unveil their sophomore album Become Who You Are on BEC Recordings this September 25th, with major tour plans slated as they join Jeremy Camp on the 35-city nationwide acoustic An Intimate Evening With Jeremy Camp tour this fall.
Become Who You Are includes 12 songs, all of which were penned by Mainstay, and feature additional songwriting with label mate Jeremy Camp, as well as Marc Byrd (God of Wonders). Production credits on the album go to up-and-coming producer Luke Fredrickson.
“Become Who You Are is an honest recording of everything from worship songs to love ballads to high energy rock n’ roll,” says front man Justin Anderson. “It is a dynamic record that encapsulates every emotion we’ve experienced these past two years, culminating in the bold statement that we believe in the love and faithfulness of Jesus now more than ever.”
The first radio single Believe co-written by the band and Jeremy Camp, goes for adds at CHR radio July 20th with a second single Where My Heart Belongs following at the AC format in early August. Mainstay found success at radio with their 2006 debut album Well Meaning Fiction with the singles Take Away (Top 15 CHR) and These Pages (Top 20 Rock).
Mainstay has seen a busy year between writing and recording this new album, while also staying busy on the tour front. They’ve played major festivals this summer including Creation East, and Spirit West Coast. The band has also toured with the likes of Sanctus Real, The Afters, John Reuben and Falling Up as well as being part of the “See Spot Rock 2006” tour featuring Pillar.
Fronted by Justin Anderson, the Minneapolis-based quartet is rounded out by Ryan DeYounge on drums, Dan Ostebo on bass, and Scott Campbell on guitar. Mainstay, originally a punk band practicing out of a garage, refined their sound throughout five years time. The band went on to record an EP on their own, which eventually amassed a grassroots following and record label interest.
