Grassroots following pays off for USA's Disciple.

AFTER YEARS of touring and releasing independent albums, Knoxville, Tennessee band Disciple have been catapulted into the Christian music major league with their self-titled album on Epic/S/R/E. Showing high on several Christian music charts, the album has received glowing reviews. Said general manager of S/R/E Recordings Steve Ford, "I am very proud of Disciple. They are one of the hardest working bands around and that hard work has been rewarded with a solid fan base. They made an amazing record that both critics and fans alike have stated has been their best album ever. Their number one success at radio and retail is just the beginning for this band and I look forward to the wild ride the next few years will be."
