Nevertheless, often abbreviated as NTL, was a Christian power pop band from Chattanooga, Tennessee. Their song "Live Like We're Alive" reached the top 5 of the R&R Christian Rock Chart.[2] Their song "The Real," was played on Contemporary Christian Music radio stations, peaking in the Top 10 on radio stations throughout the United States.[3] The band has toured with many other contemporaries from the Christian rock scene, including Superchick, Skillet, Hawk Nelson, Falling Up, and Number One Gun.
They disbanded after a final concert in December 2009. They made this decision due to personal life and pressure.[4]
