"Telecast's "Beauty of Simplicity" is a wonderful cd of Christian Rock music. The lyrics are honest, simple and free of Christian cliche and are very adaptable for use in a contemporary music worship service or even just at home. The music itself is fresh unlike so many other Christian rock albums on the market. My favorite songs are "Beauty of Simplicity" and "Radiate." Their sound is rather brit-pop, most like the music of Travis. If you like Coldplay or Switchfoot's latest, you will like Telecast."

THE reason I stayed at Calvary chapel so long!!!

"I attend (used to attend)service at the church that Telecast (known to us as Sway)would lead in worship, and even though the church is prettty far out of our way, from the very fist time I heard them I WAS HOOKED, and consequently we went to Calvary chapel for over a year, primarily to be a part of this worship!!

The thing I love most about this group, is that they don't have the "typical" christian sound. There is some truly gifted songwriting/performing that lends to a more alternative sound. The tunes are down right catchy, and I defy even non-christians to not enjoy this album!!! They don't sneak around the message at all, they have a clear love for Jesus and this resounds in their music. I highly recommend this album to all!!!"

A must buy

"Telecast is such a great band. Not afraid to sing about Jesus, very talented group of guys (Josh White is an amazing song writer). They sound a little like coldplay, but better yet they love and are not afraid to sing about and worship Jesus. I can't find a song on this album that I don't thoroughly enjoy- I can't wait to hear what they come out with next. I also recommend a CD entitled "Empty Me- Volume 1" which has a song of theirs entitled "Empty Me Out" which is another great song of theirs. I strongly recommed this album to anyone out there, no matter what age."

Incredible rock & roll music....

"...that JUST HAPPENS to be Christ-focused. Anyway, I think the CD is simply awesome (6 stars!). I've listened to this CD nearly every day since it was released... and it just keeps getting better! (just about worn a hole in it!) Maybe it's because they don't sound like "your typical Christian rock group". But make no mistake: this is a labor of love aimed at worshipping Jesus Christ....and the band makes that perfectly clear with their lyrics and their behavior. Their sound might put you in mind of ColdPlay - though Telecast has their own sound. Their lyrics/melodies are fresh, uplifting, clean, and, yes...inspiring! Makes me wanna thank God for giving me ears to hear!!!! Whether you're 'sold out for Christ' or not, you won't be disappointed in this CD (though the hardest part will be in not blasting the volume on a couple of the songs!!). ;-) BTW: they'll be at CreationFest (west) in July 2004... Radiate!"

A fresh breeze in an all-too-familiar genre

"Telecast: "Beauty of Simplicity"Josh White (Vocals, songwriter, & acoustic) was a member of Seattle regional band Man Ray just six short years ago. But then he met Jesus Christ. With his friend Brian Ortize (guitar, harmony vocals), they heard God's calling to lead Christians in worship. But they didn't have a band. So Brian called Marquis Ashley (bass), Zach Hodges (keys), and Nick Tibbetts (drums), all former members of indie-rock group Buddy Ruckus. Friend Adam Breeden also came on to add his lead guitar talents, and Telecast was formed. Less than a year later, their album was released with BEC Recordings. Producer Aaron Sprinkle (Zao, Stavesacre, Pedro the Lion) has produced a British pop-rock sound influenced by Coldplay, The Verve, and David Bowie. Songs "The Way" and "Come To Me Quickly" are dangerously "hooky". But Telecast is talented enough to rock even without production. Brian Ortize (guitar, vocals) provides tremendous background vocals. Adam, Zach, and Nick are tight and offer a textured mixture of rhythm and melody.This CD rocks from the first track to the last. White's lyrics are beautiful, yet simple- hence the album title. For anyone who is tired of worship songs that fail to capture what God really means to them, The Beauty of Simplicity is a must have."
