The Insyderz
T he Insyderz are the
gangsters o f A m erican
pop, the guerilla w ar­
riors o f m odem m usic
and the enforcers ofrock
and roll. T hey define
their sound by com bin­
ing the elem ents ofrock
and ska, creating an as­
sault that stirs the m ind
as well as the ear.
G row ing up under
the influences o f the
Salvation A rm y,thissix-
piece holds to a comm it-
mentofexccllence in per­
form ance and personal
a c c o u n ta b ility .
It
should be stated clea rly that T he
Insyderz are a C hristian ska band. But
it should also be know n that The
Insyderz are a rock and roll band that
has a jo b to d o and they do it well. T heir
m ission is to represent the gospel o f
C hrist to the needy and lost as well as
to put on the finest rock and roll ¡ i ’. ow
in the world. These m ay sound like
lofty ideas to the uninspired, but to this
D etroit based group, they are the rea­
son to be a ban. A fter their first album .
M otor C itySka, an acclaim ed w orship
album , Skalleluia and perform ing over
150show sayear,the
Insyderz are gearing
up for their third and
m ost trium phant re­
lease yet on K M G
Records.
