Christian pop music always has catchy hooks and choruses, but Rend Collective’s experimental folk twist on the genre makes it incredibly exciting and engaging to watch. The Irish band are one that I’ve followed for some time, so I was really excited to see them perform live, and I’m really glad to say that I wasn’t at all disappointed. They opened their show with Gareth Gilkeson on stage along, launching straight into the opening beat for Campfire, and the rest of the band ran on stage to join in with him. It was a super exciting way to start the show, and from the first moment every single audience member was totally on board, singing and dancing along.
They played a great selection of their tracks from over the years from their debut album Organic Family Hymnal, through to The Art of Celebration, and Chris Llewellyn was incredible at shouting out to the audience and keeping us invested in the show. He was throwing his arms up to the air and we were following suit, getting involved with the show. Each instrumentalist played a great solo and Steve Mitchell and Patrick Thompson had a really cool guitar battle with each other, which kept the audience cheering away as it was something that you don’t get to experience on the recordings.
