One of the UK’s top modern worship bands, Trent, releases its Trent Live – Burn Bright DVD/CD on Kingsway with EMI CMG Distribution January 11, 2011. The recording features Trent members leading worship in their home church, Trent Vineyard, Nottingham, UK.
Having written songs together for over eight years, Trent is featured in the new DVD/CD along with a packed-in crowd at Trent Vineyard and playing a combination of four brand new songs, including the title track, and some of its best-loved songs, such as “Perfect Sacrifice,” “I Will Hold On,” “Unfailing Love” and “Love Divine.” Known for their collective approach to writing songs and breathing fresh expression into Biblical themes, Trent members Adam Blundy (drums), Nigel Briggs (vocals, guitars), Rich Bull (electric guitars), Matt Loose (keys, piano, backing vocals) and Phil Squires (bass, backing vocals) craft songs born out of their walk with God as part of the Trent Vineyard.
“We want to sing something different, something real,” says Briggs. “Being called a ‘worship’ band is a strange thing, but for us as Trent, it’s about two things. Firstly, we write songs that express how we feel about God in a way that is real and authentic to us and for church community, Trent Vineyard. Second, how we play the songs matters.
“We also like our noise, our electric guitars and drums,” continues Briggs. “When Bruce Springsteen inducted U2 into the ‘Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’ a couple of years ago, he said that great rock bands search ‘for the same kind of combustible force that fueled the expansion of the universe after the big bang. You want the earth to shake and spit fire. You want the sky to split apart and for God to pour out.’ Now, that’s what we want to do – when we play together and lead worship, we pray that something happens that is bigger than just five guys playing music. We pray God splits the sky and joins with us, a little bit of heaven on earth.”
