The Wrecking's first national release, A NEW ABOLITION, has been described as "inventive, fun and unpredictable" by Worship Leader magazine... and indeed, the band itself fits that mold.
The Wrecking is made up of brothers Darren and Doug Elder who play drums and handle lead vocals & guitar respectively; Karl Anderson on keyboards/bass and Chris James on guitar.
"Chosen Records' recording artist The Wrecking admits it will be hard to top the whirlwind year they have had in 2009. But as the band readies itself to release its second nationally-distributed CD in the coming months, the Portland Maine-based rockers hope to build on the momentum."
Gina Adams - The Christian Post Blog
“One of my favorite bands, The Wrecking, released their new digital EP, The Catalyst, last week. The six-song EP includes sneak previews of songs which will be included on the band's full-length CD set to drop in early 2010.”
Joanne Brokaw - USA Today
“Chosen Records' recording artist The Wrecking will release a new digital EP on Tuesday, August 18. Entitled, THE CATALYST.
A new music video to coincide with one of the EP's songs, "The Sound of the Resistance," will be released this month to national video shows.
