In many respects, David Crowder's solo career carries on the ambitious eclecticism that made the David Crowder Band one of the premier Christian rock acts of the ‘00s. After all, his debut solo album, 2014's Neon Steeple, is a sprawling blend of passionate praise & worship, barnyard folktronica, and deeply philosophical CCM meditations any longtime DCB fan would surely love. At the same time, Crowder has carved out his own, unique path. Simply dive into the '80s-kissed ballad “No Rival,” featuring rapper JR, or the swampy Southern rocker “Run Devil Run,” and it becomes clear how much Crowder loves pushing into new sonic terrain.
