Thousand Foot Krutch is a popular Christian rock band from Canada. They first became popular in 2000 with their independent release of "Set It Off" but in 1998 they had released "Thats what people do" which is currently discontinued.
Back then they had a hip hop and rap influenced sound and gained some attention by both Christian and secular radio stations.
In 2003 TFK released their third album, "Phenomenon" under Tooth & Nail records. Their new album still had similar rap and hip hop influences but more modern rock than their previous albums. "Phenomenon" produced four popular radio singles including "Rawkfist", a fast paced rock song with pounding beats and catchy lyrics. The cd sold over 100,000 units in under a year which set a record for one of Tooth & Nail's best selling albums.
Mid-2005, the band released their third full length album titled "The Art of Breaking". This album began to break away from most of the hip hop and rap and focused more on the rock. The single "Move" topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart early 2006 at number 16.
September 18th, 2007, Thousand Foot Krutch released their fourth cd "The Flame In All of Us" which moved farther away from the previous hip hop and rap influence and was more mainstream rock with influences from other Christian bands like Our Lady Peace.
The band plays at least 200 concerts a year (yet they skip over Ohio this time!) with fellow Tooth & Nail bands and discovered a fellow Canadian and Christian band Hawk Nelson.
I really enjoy TFK's catchy lyrics and sound and I like the heavier rock with the slight rap influences. Whether you want music to rock out with or just something to chill out with, Thousand Foot Krutch provides you with what you need. Don't forget to check out songs like "The Art of Breaking", "This Is A Call", "Bounce", and "Rawkfist".
