Christian Rock radio echoes this response, as debut single “No Turning Back” sets precedent for future radio success from the album. Only three weeks on the charts, “No Turning Back” has already infiltrated the Top 10, and shows no signs of slowing down. Vice President of National Promotions for EMI CMG Label Group, Grant Hubbard comments, “This is a great start at radio for This Beautiful Republic and its new project. The charts are competitive these days, and we believe this early radio momentum is a good indication of what is to come for the band.”

Perceptions is an effort that decidedly goes to the extremes of modern rock and timeless worship. It was produced by Allen Salmon (Mute Math) and comes in the storied wake of This Beautiful Republic’s first two years of touring together as a major label act. The band shared stages with headliners Sanctus Real and Family Force 5 among others and traveled overseas for shows in the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, and Sweden. This fall the band takes to the road on its headlining “No Turning Back” tour.
