The Rocket Summer releases 'Of Men and Angels'

The Rocket Summer’s second major label album on Island Records, Of Men And Angels, hits stores today. The new record is currently No. 1 on the iTunes Alternative Album chart as well as No 4 on the iTunes Overall Album chart.

The newest release from Bryce Avery has had a brilliant start with an exclusive premiere on MySpace that can still be heard at www.myspace.com/therocketsummer. In addition, the video for track “Hills and Valleys” premiered on www.Ustream.com with a live chat with Bryce, as lead single “Walls” impacts CHR.

Critics of both Christian and general market media are praising The Rocket Summer’s latest efforts saying:

The Rocket Summer front man, songwriter and multi-instrumental Texan Bryce Avary looks ahead to the band’s return to the road starting March 13 with a series of shows with Colorado-based One Republic.

Texas native Bryce Avary, the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist mastermind behind The Rocket Summer, has released four albums to date including his latest Of Men and Angels. Musically, Avary is a one-man show though he tours with several longtime friends.

Bryce has toured around the world, selling out venues not just in the US, but Canada, the UK and Japan, while playing such noted events as the Glastonbury Festival and T in the Park.

In addition, Avary is very involved with both the Invisible Children and his own charitable organisation “Call It Captivate”, a clothing line that donates 25 per cent of sales to several different charities. He performed the White House last summer in connection with his support of Invisible Children, an organisation dedicated to rescuing children who have been kidnapped and enlisted against their will into the Ugandan army.

How might the next Synod make progress in the next five years based on a recognition that there are those in the Church of England who hold fundamentally opposed positions on the matter? Is there a way of allowing both sides to achieve what they want? Martin Davie argues that the answer to this question is ‘Yes.’

Soho is not exempt from freedom of speech and Christian expression. And Christians do not lose their fundamental freedoms when they cross an invisible boundary into a neighbourhood associated with a different worldview. The streets of London belong to all of us, writes Andrea Williams.
