Kutless is a Christian rock band formed in 2000 from Portland, Oregon. Formed as a Worship band called Call Box in 2000. They changed their name to "Kutless" before releasing their first three track EP followed up by their full-length album in 2002 on BEC Recordings. Kutless chose their name because of a specific Bible verse. Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Because of this, the band says, "He took our cuts for us... leaving us 'Kutless'." Their first single was called "Your Touch". Their second single from their debut album, "Run", would go on to hold the record for the longest charting song in the history of the R&R Top 40 charts and be the most played song of the first 5 years on ChristianRock.net.
I must say, I absolutely love this band. I knew of them when they released their first CD Kutless, but did not really pay any attention until I heard their song "Sea of Faces," off the their second release, Sea of Faces.
If you've ever heard of this band, give me some feedback (good, bad, whatever...). If you've never heard of them, I suggest you torrent them (WHAT! You don't torrent? Why the hell are you here?) Seriously, give them a try:
