Honor & Glory Biography
Honor & Glory is a guitar-driven worship band formed in 2021, comprised of Christian rock veterans that includes several members from the rock band Disciple. Blending rock and worship influences, the group creates a powerful and energetic sound. The band includes Disciple members Kevin Young (vocals)— Josiah Prince (guitar)— Joey West (drums)— and Andrew Stanton (guitar)— along with Dane Allen (acoustic guitar) from the alternative/pop group LOYALS, and Marco Pera (bass) from Amongst the Giants. For each of the veteran musicians, Honor & Glory is a project born of pure devotion. Kevin Young emphasizes, "This is all about Him. I'm not going into writing these songs saying 'how do I make this song great?' Instead, I'm saying 'how do I use this song to share how God great is?'"
The inception of Honor & Glory was organic, originating from a conversation on Disciple's bus where the band members realized they were each using their time off the road to lead worship in local churches. It led to the musicians collectively asking a hypothetical question: "We're leading worship anyway. Instead of doing it apart from each other, why don't we just play worship music together?" Lead singer Kevin Young explains, "Where the mission of Disciple is to reach the unreachable, the vision of Honor & Glory is to create a musical atmosphere where hearts, minds, souls, and voices center on the greatness and wonders of our amazing God through worship".
Their self-titled debut album, released in March 2022, showcases a collection of uplifting tracks, including covers like "Battle Belongs" and "Jesus We Love You," and original tracks such as "God Of My Story," "Come Alive," and "You Are God (When the World Is On Fire)".
In addition to contributions from all band members, Honor & Glory has drawn on the talents of Bryan Fowler (TobyMac, Mandisa), Micah Kuiper (Newsboys, Jeremy Camp), Joth Hunt (Planetshakers), and Tommy Iceland (Jesus Culture, Chris Tomlin). Band member Josiah Prince, an acclaimed producer in his own right, oversaw the album's recording and production. The creative team was rounded out with mixing by Nick "Rad" Radovanovic (Skillet, Rhett Walker) and mastering by Mike Cervantes (Tenth Avenue North, We Are Messengers). Read more on Last.fm.
