b'\\u201cWhen Audio Adrenaline said goodbye in 2006 due to frontman Mark Stuart\\u2019s chronic vocal problems, fans thought they\\u2019d heard the last of the Grammy Award-winning Christian rockers. Now with the release of \\u201cKings & Queens,\\u201d Audio Adrenaline is back with a revamped line up that features former dcTalk member Kevin Max on lead vocals, original bassist Will McGinniss and new members Jason Walker on keyboards, former Superchick guitarist Dave Ghazarian and drummer Jared Byers, previously with Bleach. Stuart remains involved in songwriting, production and overall brand management as the band embarks on a new chapter. Kings & Queens AudioA\\n\\n \\n\\nAudio Adrenaline kicked off a 30-city tour on March 1 in Morganton, NC. \\u201cThere are a lot of young kids at these shows. By summertime we\\u2019ll playing big festivals and people would have had the record. We\\u2019ll really get an idea of what people think about this,\\u201d he says of the rebooted Audio Adrenaline.\\u201d \\u2013 Audio Adrenaline Begin New Chapter With Pop-Tinged \\u2018Kings & Queens\\u2019 By Deborah Evans-Price, Nashville (March 13, 2013 6:00 PM EDT), Billboard.com.\\n\\nListen as the guys share about their new album, Kings & Queens, and their passion for the orphan child with their work in Haiti with Hands & Feet Project.\\n\\n \\n\\nMark SchultzListeners have come to expect inspiring and remarkable stories in songs from Mark Schultz, a 14-time Dove Award nominee and platinum-selling artist who touches hearts whether he sings about parents praying for a sick child (\\u201cHe\\u2019s My Son\\u201d), or writes in honor of his great-grandmother\\u2019s sons who fought in World War II (\\u201cLetters From War\\u201d).\\n\\nAnd with his latest effort, All Things Possible, Schultz continues to tackle matters of the heart and spirit with uncommon craftsmanship\\u2013though the past five years have impacted this artist in ways he could\\u2019ve never predicted or expected. He\\u2019s lived in Europe, started the Remember Me Mission with his wife to help orphans (Schultz himself is adopted), and became a father in 2012 to a boy, Ryan Samuel Schultz.\\n\\nProduced by Seth Mosley (Newsboys) and Pete Kipley (MercyMe/Phil Wickham), All Things Possible has a joyous, infectious pop-rock feel that shows Schultz\\u2019 soulful tenor and tuneful melodies at their peak. Yet there\\u2019s added depth that comes as this compassionate storyteller dives deeper into using music as a vehicle for better things. Here, he quotes no less a source than theologian Frederick Buechner: \\u201cThe place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world\\u2019s deep hunger meet.\\u201d'
