Flicker Records’ recording group Pillar is gearing-up to release their sophomore project entitled Fireproof nationwide on May 21st. The album follows their much embraced Dove-award winning debut Above that scanned over 40,000 units. Their first single ‘Fireproof,’ debuted at #13 at Rock radio after it’s first week out and continues to steadily move up the chart. Flicker Records has an extensive retail, radio and marketing plan in place and is already receiving positive feedback and anticipation from on-set listeners.
‘This is honestly one of the best rock albums I’ve ever listened to,’ Bob Herdman, President of Flicker Records said. ‘Pillar’s grown so much as a band since we first signed them and we truly believe they will be a major force in Christian Rock. I work-out to this album, drive with it, I can’t get away from listening to it.’
Pillar has celebrated many milestones throughout their first year and a half on the music scene. From taking home 2001’s Dove Award for Hard Rock Album of the Year to earning a spot in Newsweek’s acclaimed ‘Jesus Rocks’ article to touring non-stop from the end of 2000 and all of 2001 on Festival Con Dios, Skillet’s Alien Youth tour, and WinterJam. Their first album Above, put them on the Rock radio radar by garnering a #1 single with ‘Open Your Eyes,’ as well as two more top three singles on the CCM and R&R Rock charts.
In support of the album release, Pillar will headline their first tour beginning in May hitting over 35 markets with The Benjamin Gate and East West. At the conclusion of the tour, they’ll hit over 17 summer festivals and will headline Cornerstone, Alive and Ichthus main stages.
