Following a successful fall with the release of The Flame In All Of Us, which produced the band’s eighth No. 1 Christian Rock single with “Falls Apart”, Tooth & Nail’s Thousand Foot Krutch continues the momentum with general market radio, recent JUNO and Dove nominations, and upcoming tour dates.

On February 5th, the successful rock single “Falls Apart” was released to Active Rock/Alternative general market radio. The single is the first to be released to this format from the current TFK project. This marks the band’s third Active Rock/Alternative single following the breakout songs “Rawkfist” and “Move”. The radio stations have been highly receptive to the band once again with 18 adds after two weeks out of the box including AOL Radio, Sirius Octane, XM Squizz and more.

A huge supporter of the single, Peter Schiecke from AOL Music/ AOL Radio shares, ”’Falls Apart’ has been a huge testing record for me in 2007. I’ve played it in power rotation on AOL Radio’s Xtreme Alt Rock station for around 4 months now. It’s also already a recurrent on the Christian Rock station. I just expanded the airplay today on two of our other stations – Top Alternative + Alternative Mix – heavy rotation on both.”

Schiecke continues, “The overall listener score is a 9.17 out of 10. It’s testing better than the latest singles from bands like Avenged Sevenfold, Atreyu, Finger Eleven, Mudvayne, Serj Tankian, Godsmack, and Bullet For My Valentine. You’ve got a hit record on your hands.”

In addition to the general market single, Christian radio is behind the new Rock single and title track “The Flame in All of Us”, which debuted at No. 28 as the second most added at Rock and has climbed to No. 17 during the second week with most increased plays. The song “Wish You Well” went for adds on February 15th at CHR as a follow-up to “What Do We Know”.

Amongst all the radio excitement, Thousand Foot Krutch’s recent studio project was nominated for a 2008 JUNO Award for Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year. This is the band’s third JUNO Award nomination. Previous nominations included in the same category were for Phenomenon (2005) and The Art of Breaking (2006).
