Final David Crowder Band Album “Give Us Rest or (A Requiem Mass in C [The Happiest of All Keys]) Goes To #1 On iTunes

Congrats to one of our favorite bands on going #1!  You will be missed…

The final album from the David Crowder Band has now been released. ‘Give Us Rest or (A Requiem Mass in C [The Happiest of All Keys])‘ went straight to number 1 on the main US iTunes Album Chart after it’s first day of release, 10th January 2012. The band rocked their final show, last week at the Passion 2012 Conference in Atlanta.

“The decision was reached that this sixth album would be our last”, explained the band. “None of us is sure what’s next, but we’re not afraid. We’re, in fact, really, really excited! And we’re sure that music will play a role in the future for most, if not all, of us, since, well, we wouldn’t know how to not have it a part of our lives.”

The band announced back in May 2011 that they would be ending in early 2012 following the release of their final album.  Hollywood Icon Magazine was there for their final Creation Fest show in Seattle and their final Los Angeles show at the Palladium.

The group’s final album, ‘Give Us Rest‘ is a 34 track double-CD album, including first single ‘Let Me Feel You Shine‘. Their previous studio album, ‘Church Music‘ (2009) debuted at Number 11 on the Billboard Top 200, also receiving a Grammy nomination.
