SRE Recording/Epic Rock Band Disciple Makes R&R
Chart History
New York, NY - June 29, 2005 - DISCIPLE has been
making waves with their self-titled debut record and now
has broken R&R Chart history. For the first time since
R&R began publishing the Christian Rock Radio
chart, 100% of reporting stations are on Disciple’s
first single,
“The Wait Is Over”, which has been #1 for
an
unprecedented 5 weeks.
“Now the world knows what DISCIPLE fans have known
for years…THIS BAND ROCKS….With 5 Weeks at #1
and with every Christian Rock Station playing the song,
this is just the beginning for this band.” Says Kevin
Peterson, Christian Editor for the industry newspaper,
Radio and Records.
“This hard-rock quartet is making noise in the Mainstream rock and Christian Rock communities….attracting an audience that likes its rock music loud and brash, but intelligent and meaningful! An impressive debut for these gifted musicians.

Disciple debuted at #1 on the Christian Retail Soundscan charts, and #8 on the Billboard Heat Seekers chart. John Van Der Veen, VP of Sales for INO Records states, ”What a first week. Disciple sold 5 times more records than they had ever sold on any pervious week in their career. We were thrilled with the numbers.”
The sales and radio presence continue to reflect what their fans are saying. “DISCIPLE has joined my favorite bands
that I listen to everyday like Seether, Judas Priest, System
of the Down. I have been hearing their song almost
every hour on our local rock station and than I heard they were coming to my town…so I ran out and bought my tickets…I am dying to see these guys live!” This from
Neil Paris in Ft. Worth, TX a longtime fan of DISCIPLE.
DISCIPLE headlined 2 tours this year and is on tap to play almost 200 shows before the close of 2005. Disciple recently signed with powerhouse agency WILLIAM MORRIS. Expect several exciting tour announcements for Disciple in the coming weeks.
