The Digital Age is a four-piece band from Waco, Texas consisting of four of the six members of the former David Crowder Band, formed in 2012 after the completion of the band's final tour to support their final album.
Band history
The Digital Age is a modern-rock Christian band composed of four[1] of the six musicians from the Grammy-nominated,[2] multiple Dove Award winning[3][4] David Crowder Band. The Digital Age formed in January 2012,[5] following their final performance in the David Crowder Band at Passion 2012 conference in Atlanta, Georgia[6] in front of an estimated 42,000 college students.[7] In early 2012, the members of The Digital Age constructed a studio in their hometown of Waco, Texas called "Asterisk Sound".[8] The members of the band were involved at their church, University Baptist Church (Waco, Texas), in some form or fashion since its inception in 1995 through 2013;[9] however, they no longer lead worship at or attend UBC.
On June 5, 2012, the band released an EP called Rehearsals.[10][11][12][13] The EP consists of six songs which the band also released as YouTube videos, recorded at Asterisk Sound, the first of which were published in April 2012.[14][15] The EP quickly shot to No. 1 on the iTunes Christian Albums chart,[16] and charted multiple times in Billboard Magazine, reaching No. 12 on the Heatseekers chart,[17] No. 21 on the Top Christian and Gospel Albums chart,[17] and No. 12 on the Top Christian Albums chart.[17]
The band's first full-length album, Evening:Morning, was released on August 13, 2013.
