Months after this tumultuous first tour stop with the group, Agee is confident that God brought him to Audio Adrenaline for a reason.
Agee, the former frontman of the pop punk band Stellar Kart, which has gone on an indefinite hiatus, is now the lead singer of Audio Adrenaline following some major shakeups in the band. After lead singer Mark Stuart was diagnosed with a voice condition, the band took a six-year break in However, Max left the group in and was replaced by Josh Engler from the band Abandon, before Agee took his place last February.
Stellar Kart had the same management company as Audio Adrenaline, but the former was not moving forward with new music. When Agee was asked to join Audio A, which consisted of three other new members, he believed it was something God intended to happen. Still, the transition did not come without its challenges, like the fateful first day Agee sang with Audio A in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on tour last February, when he was not able to do a soundcheck.
He shared about the pressure to maintain the standard of excellence set by the group for close to three decades that he felt. I definitely wanted to do it justice. I grew up listening to Audio Adrenaline, they were a huge reason that I got into music and more specifically Christian music," Agee told CP. That first show was a little scary and I was more nervous than I had been in probably 10 years playing shows.
These days, Agee has adjusted to the band who released their album "Sound of Saints" on May 4 when it debuted at number one on Billboard's Top Christian Albums chart. Select basic ads. Create a personalised ads profile. Select personalised ads. Apply market research to generate audience insights.

Kim Jones is an ordained pastor and a co-founder of Road to Revelation, a Christian rock band. It's like anybody or any job, you grow and learn more about your trade and your craft and you try to get as good as you possibly can and keep improving and you're always looking to do better. And better and that's kind of what I've been doing and I feel like it's just my calling, this is what I'm supposed to be doing.
And sometimes its obvious and other times I have to kind of search for if it's really what I'm supposed to be doing. And I feel like it's different for everybody and that's why it's hard for a lot of bands to stay together for so many years because everybody has their own different call from God and sometimes it lasts the entirety of a band's career, other times it lasts for a short time and then they go on to other things, and that's fine.
But yes, I'm just trying to get better and better. I remember, back in the day, it was cool someone said that she went on her friend's Myspace page, basically to leave her a not saying 'Goodbye,' she was going to commit suicide and she said she clicked on the page and that our song 'Me and Jesus' came on and she listened to the whole thing and decided to give life another try.
She came to a show and told us that and she's still doing fine. It's just crazy, it's a crazy story and crazy stuff that happens and I'm just blessed to a part of it.
It's mostly really encouragement, building you up, having a good time. And then, this new record, take it to the next step, not only just encouraging but it also moves on to challenging as well.
I think encouragement is extremely important, but then I think there needs to be more than just encouraging. I think there also needs to be challenging. And it's challenging in your walk it's challenging in your life and your decisions and challenging you to be the best Christian you can be. Do you have any long-term goals for the band in mind? I like seeing new cities and seeing the world.
I like making music that positively impacts people and I'd love to continue doing that as long as I can and get involved with as many people as we can and experiencing relationships as we can.
