On this episode, we are joined by keyboardist and songwriter Ojo Taylor, guitarist and writer Gym Nicholson, long-time lead vocalist Sim Wilson, and drummer Gary Olsen of the Orange County rock band Undercover for an expansive conversation recorded in front of a live audience at the Audiofeed Festival in Illinois. Undercover emerged in the early 1980s at the pole position of the frenetic “second wave” of Jesus Rock that saw an explosion of New Wave, Punk, Rock, and pop bands like Lifesavors, Altar Boys, Lifters, Common Bond, Crumbacher, Youth Choir, and others fill high school auditoriums, bowling alleys, parks, and church youth halls with a righteous racket that thrilled teens, worried some parents, and eventually set the stage for the big business era of Christian rock in the 90s. Ojo Taylor not only led Undercover, though, he was also a curator of this bourgeoning scene – managing labels, producing albums, and putting together one of the most important early compilation albums – which spins when we crank up the now sticker-covered Jukebox for an overview of those heady, loud, formative years. Ojo made more waves in what's left of this underground community when he publicly admitted that he no longer holds the same religious beliefs for which he rocked so passionately back in the day. Like others, his personal spiritual journey has taken him in a direction that does not include the Evangelical faith of his younger years. But earlier this year, when a Christian music festival invited the long-defunct band to reunite for a special show, they agreed – and rocked Audiofeed (and before that, the Anaheim House of Blues) quite successfully. Why would a band with differing beliefs agree to gigs like those? As Ojo says, “Belief is overrated. Agreement is overrated. Love is underrated.” Find full Show Notes, including photos and video from Undercover's set at Audiofeed HERE or at TrueTunes.com/Undercover Undercover Music List Opening Segment Phil Keaggy & Rex Paul – Full Circle (podcast theme) Undercover – Man, O, Man; World Come Crashing Down; He's In Love With You Interview Segment Undercover – Excuse Us; I'll Be a Fool; Daddy-O; God Rules; Cry Myself to Sleep; Darkest Hour; Is Anyone Thirsty?; Work It Out; Devotion; Dark Night; Bridge of Life; One to One; Promenade; Land of Luxury The Altar Boys – I'm Into God Freedom of Soul – Caught in a Land of Time JUKEBOX Blessed Hope – Something More Bob & Joy Cull – Sail Away Undercover – One of These Days The Proclaimers (U.S.) – Rejoice Stephen Crumbächer – It Don't Matter Youth Choir – It's So Wonderful The Lifters – Listen Children The Omega Band – Idols Sharon McCall – From the Grave C.I.A. – Your Choice Malcolm and the Mirrors – Apathy The Altar Boys – Go for You Lifesavers – She's On Fire SFC – Phase III Adam Again – Eyes Wide Open The Electrics – Get to Heaven The Violet Burning – Low (Third Wave) The Prayer Chain – Chatterbox (Third Wave) D.A.S. – Beautiful World (Third Wave) Dakoda Motor Co. – Wind ‘N' Sea (Fourth Wave) Mortal – Paradigm One (Fourth Wave) Fold Zandura – Deep Surround Seven Day Jesus – Strength Spot Breaks Phil Keaggy & Mike Pachelli – Maccadocious (Two of Us)

Part 2 features music from Tame The Volcano, and Escape From The Fallen Planet. – In Frontline Records Rewind Episode 74, host Les Carlsen continues his musical interrogation of Crumbacher members Stephen Crumbacher, Dawn Wisner Johnson and Jimmy Wisner. Stephen talks about the beginning days of Frontline, including the surreal experience of driving around his musical idol, Terry Taylor, looking for potential studios. In the show, listeners are wowed by acapella intro to “Glowing In The Darkâ€, off INCANDESCENT, the song that gave the group their signature sound. Acapella intro also kicks off “Speechless†from TAME THE VOLCANO, which Jimmy admitted was a favorite. These intros were from memory -no cheat sheets, folks- in amazing harmony! Stephen provides the inside scoop for his concept album, ESCAPE FROM THE FALLEN PLANET. It was the ‘80s! Broken down van or bus, causing them to nearly miss their sets, Stephen’s mom making outfits, Jimmy wearing girl’s clothes and hair styles that reflected the times, were the norm for this keyboard-heavy pop group from Southern California. The episode closes with an emotional solo piano version of “Once More (For The Band)†off TAME THE VOLCANO, which was Stephen’s farewell song, a gift to the group, even before the decision to stop performing was final. Listeners may tear up a bit.
Part 1 features music from Incandescent, Escape From The Fallen Planet, and Thunder Beach. – In Frontline Records Rewind Episode 73, host Les Carlsen gets together with Crumbacher members Stephen Crumbacher, Dawn Wisner Johnson and Jimmy Wisner, and into their "party in a box"Â pop-dance style. Stephen talks about breaks he got in the early 1980's when he submitted a demo tape to Maranatha! Music, which lead to a track on MRC and Broken Records compilations, which lead to their 3 albums released on Frontline Records: Escape From The Fallen Planet, Thunder Beach and Tame The Volcano. The group's multi-keyboard style was attractive to Ojo Taylor of Undercover, who produced the first tracks. They also surprised Ojo when all three members gathered around a studio microphone and belted out their epic harmonies. In this episode, listeners are treated to an acappella intro of "Interstellar Satellite". Stephen wrote Crumbacher's deep lyrics, with Biblical foundation. In fact, he provided scripture references supporting each song, which is why their music is timeless. The three original members are kind of timeless too, attending the same High School in Southern California and their families are still close today. Listeners get to experience the harmony of their relationship and vocals in this rare interview.
