Give My All is the second full-length live album by RPM, the youth band of Bradford's Abundant Life Church. The CD was released with a bonus DVD, featuring four songs from the album, a "Rocknations Backstage Pass", and a multi-angle feature.
Give My All was recorded at the church's Rocknations conference during August 2007.[1] The band released numerous video updates during the relatively short production timeline, including the full video for the title track.[2] Give My All was made available within the church during November, and is scheduled for a wide release during February 2008.
[edit] Background and recording
Following I Surrender All, RPM took a heavier musical direction, due in part to the influence of worship leader and songwriter Mike Harvie. The band combined Harvie's metal and screamo influences[3] with the "full-on rock" of Jock James[4] and the rap of Marcus Lee, creating a far "harder" musical soundscape than usual for a worship band. Lyrically, too, the album differed from earlier RPM efforts and more traditional worship music; Harvie's experiences of peer pressure soon after his conversion to Christianity inspired "Now or Never",[3] whilst the church's work with underprivileged youths set the backdrop for Lee's "Why We Live".[5]
The album was finally recorded and filmed live at the Abundant Life Church, Bradford, during Rocknations '07.[6]
