Audio Adrenaline consists of Burkum Tyler (guitar), Cissel Ben (drums), Mcginnis Will (bass), Stuart Mark (lead vocals).
Audio Adrenaline is a Christian rock band formed in the early 1990s at Kentucky Christian College in Grayson, Kentucky, USA. Along with dc Talk, Newsboys, and Jars of Clay, they quickly became one of the most successful Christian pop/rock bands of the 90s. They are best known for their 1993 hit "Big House," and are a main attraction at the annual Creation Festival, Spirit West Coast festival, and Agape Music Festival.
The band was formed under the name of A-180 by Mark Stuart, Barry Blair, and Will McGinniss. (As of 2005, Stuart and McGinniss are the only remaining original members.) The three men, along with Ron Gibson and Mark's brother, David, became a popular local band—booked by the school nearly every weekend.
The band's big break would come in the form of Bob Herdman. Bob went up to Audio Adrenaline with two songs he had written, My God and DC-10. After My God was recorded—under the band name Herdman had created, "Audio Adrenaline"—it was sent to radio stations and scaled the charts quickly. Forefront Records decided to offer a record deal to A-180 but had them change their name to Audio Adrenaline. Bob joined the band, and David left to focus on his family.
Their first album under Forefront, the self-titled Audio Adrenaline, was released in 1992. The follow-up album, Don't Censor Me, came the next year. In 1996, their third album, Bloom, was released. It marked guitarist Barry Blair's final album with the band.
With Blair gone, Audio Adrenaline needed a new guitarist. Tyler Burkum joined the band at only 17 years old, in time to record 1997's Some Kind of Zombie. Two years earlier, the band got a new drummer, just in time fot the release of their studio album, "Bloom."— Ben Cissell—and a new studio album, Underdog. To this day, Underdog remains Audio Adrenaline's largest critical success.
