[edit] Trivia
In 1998, ForeFront released a 2-CD compilation to celebrate their 10th Anniversary. The album was titled Forefront Records: Ten, The Birthday Album and featured songs from several of their artists at the time. Some of the songs were remakes of older songs done by new bands (for example, Seven Day Jesus plays a cover of Audio Adrenaline's hit "Big House").
