The first studio album in nearly three years from best-selling Inpop Records’ duo and collegiate favourite, Shane & Shane, Pages released last week amidst critical acclaim and became the duo’s strongest sales debut ever with 10,178 units scanned in its first week. Landing at No. 66 on the Billboard Top 200 and No. 5 on the SoundScan® Overall Contemporary Christian Albums charts, the duo’s fifth studio album landed amidst such popular recordings as High School Musical 2, as well as projects by Bruce Springsteen, Kanye West, Kenny Chesney, Lyle Lovett and Collective Soul.

In addition to the sales success and acclaim from CCM, Charisma, INFUZE, Worship Leader, and more, critics continue to happily “turn the pages” of Shane & Shane’s new album:

“It’s been quite some time since Shane & Shane, the powerful worship duo composed of Shane Barnard and Shane Everett, have come out with an album. But their newest project… Pages, has made it well worth the wait.”
Christian Post (8/3/07)

“Soulful and soothing, intimate and inspiring, Shane and Shane’s newest release, Pages, sends you running to Jesus with your whole heart.”
CBN.com (8/07)

“Each and every song on Pages is an expressive musical and spiritual journey.”
YMExchange.com (8/07)

In addition to the reviews, Shane & Shane is receiving coverage from mainstream media around its 50-plus-city Pages Tour 2007 including features in the Lexington Herald-Leader, Spartanburg Herald-Journal, and the Cleveland (Tennessee) Banner.

One of the industry’s biggest concert draws, Shane & Shane is playing new songs from Pages and other fan favourites spanning its repertoire of hits in 70-plus concerts scheduled between now and November 12th. Widely known for its engaging live performance, the duo headlines its Pages Tour with co-headliner Bebo Norman and will be playing select dates with Third Day’s Mac Powell and David Nasser on the Glory Revealed tour, as well as select dates with MercyMe.

Shane & Shane’s sixth album, Pages, was recorded at the duo’s Spaceway Studios in Dallas, TX and features 13 impassioned songs, plus a bonus track. Co-produced by Shane Everett and Shane Barnard alongside Will Hunt (Bethany Dillon, Shawn McDonald, Robbie Seay Band), Pages was named for a reference to the journal pages on which Barnard wrote much of the album and features the radio single, We Love You Jesus.
