Introducing Exit East New pop/rock band Exit East has found their home at Fervent Records. The Atlanta-based band is comprised of lead singer Jason Foust, guitarist Jon Stanley, bassist Mitch Brooks, and drummer Chris Lindsey, who began playing together in a church band in the winter of 1999. After claiming the top award at 2003’s AtlantaFest Artist Search, it was clear that this band was ready to take things to the next level. Each member is passionate about impacting culture while creatively and consciously “changing” Christian music. Not that Exit East wants to challenge the fibers of Christian music, but rather they want to use it as an avenue to creatively tell the true-life stories of a Christian- not backing away from real life moments. With their candid themes, Exit East is poised to have a great impact on listeners in the Christian market, as well as those outside it.
