I don't really know about it. But I do know about their songs. I really love it.. It is like a band, really good for young people. And all they do is worship Jesus with their music. I also have seen their concert. In television, of course. But, it really made me can't take my eyes off of it.. My heart is really touched. And all I want to do is worship HIM. It may sound so hiperbolic, but it's true..

This is one of the songs which I love so much!! I can really feel the spirit of young people to worship Jesus.
