The best kept secret in music

Plea 33 hit the Christian stage. The hard-rocking band from Columbus, MS sounded a lot more like an alternative band than a Christian band. Their songs are all perfectly crafted, catchy pop tunes, full of jangly guitars, great vocals and solid drumming. Clever lyrics and a huge pop sensibility make Plea 33 a band that could go somewhere if they get any sort of radio play.

Bio
From the very beginning, the four guys in Plea33 dedicated their musical
talents to spreading the message of Christ. And they have been doing just
that since 2001, combining a high-energy stage show with fun songs that
stick in the listeners head long after the last chord has been strummed.
Originating out of Columbus, Miss., Christian contemporary rock band Plea33
( Brandon Criswell/lead vocals, Patrick Lee/lead guitar, Antwann
Richardson/bass, and Chris Cook/drums) will be releasing their self-titled
sophomore album in early 2007. The project was mixed by Nathan Dantzler,
(Kids in the Way, Audio Adrenaline, and Tree 63) as well as Tony Palacios
(Decyfer Down, Building 429).
The band released their first album “Fire from Heaven” in 2004. Their debut
gained widespread attention thanks in large part to the hit single “Reach,”
which rose to number three on the internet chart, Soundclick, and was
released to over 1800 radio stations nationwide.
While their music has been heard on radio stations across the country,
Plea33 has also been touring and playing to youth and adults of all ages in
those same states. In 2006, the band was accepted on the Extreme Tour.
Notable bands that have played on the Extreme Tour include Kutless, KJ52,
and Dizmas. Plea33 traveled on the southern leg, playing to crowds in
Missouri, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi. The band has
performed with Building 429, Pillar, Jason Morant, Nevertheless, Wavorly
(Freshman 15), Skillet and Tree63 among other nationally known artists. In
addition to the Extreme Tour, they have also played Shoutfest and been
featured in various media, such as PowerSource Magazine.
Even with a full schedule, the guys still find time to lead worship at their
church back home is Mississippi. With the help of their church, the guys
take toys, microwaves, clothes, bicycles and most importantly the Gospel
into underprivileged neighborhoods with their ministry, “Off the Chains.”
Plea33 also have a heart for lost and hurting people all over the world,
teaming up with World Vision to help fight the battle of hunger while
winning souls to Christ.
With their new album, Plea33 hope to reach out to people of all ages,
helping the lost find their way while encouraging fellow believers. Plea 33
is willing to go wherever God leads them.
Jeremiah 33:3 says, Call unto me and I will answer thee and show thee great
and mighty things that thou knowest not.
