aaDISCOGRAPHY
 |
|
 |
WORLDWIDE (2003) We are not meant to live life in our own little bubble, but rather, we are to take our faith to the world. Audio Adrenaline brings this reminder to the church with their usual hard-hitting rock style on their sixth studio album, Worldwide. |
 |
LIFT DVD (2002) Taking their hard-hitting, fun-loving rock to the DVD realm, Audio Adrenaline provides fans with the music videos to their Lift singles as well as giving them a peek into the behind-the-scenes life of one of Christian music's original rock bands. |
 |
LIFT (2001) After ten years of being declared a "youth group band", Audio Adrenaline's latest offering, Lift, finds the group attempting to forge a more mature identity for themselves. The change is evident; from the drab, grey photograph on the liner notes to the last song on the album, there's no trace of any kidding around. While this might snag a larger fan base, longtime fans of AA will be startled at what Lift has to offer. Read full review... |
 |
HIT PARADE (2001) The Kentucky-based band has blazed few trails since they first arrived with Don't Censor Me in 1993, but they have made an honest effort to supply Christian youth with quality rock music. Their greatest hits collection, Hit Parade captures most of the best of it, and provides an enjoyable trek down memory lane. Read full review... |
 |
UNDERDOG (1999) Reflecting on God's strength in our weakness, Audio Adrenaline takes that topic into circumspect with their latest studio release. Underdog is a unique mixture of all of Audio A's best, including the original sound and style fans have grown to love over the years without slacking on the message. Read full review... |
 |
SOME KIND OF ZOMBIE (1997) Exploring concepts of rebirth and the resurrection of a generation, Audio Adrenaline minus Barry Blair almost drops the rock-pop feel for a very intense, edgy volume raved by a crowd often ignored by Christian music: youth. This album rocks, pure and simple. This is worth getting for all who love music with danceable energy. Read full review... |
 |
BLOOM (1996) It's an album the band has found hard to top, an uncontrolled statement of trust, energy and salvation urging listeners to bloOm. "Never Gonna Be" stands it's own as one of the hottest Christian singles of all time, a strong melody stressing humility and the enduring glory of Jesus. Understated and underrated, this concert of 13 tracks is Audio Adrenaline's exhortation to see people bloOm where they're planted. Read full review... |
 |
LIVE BOOTLEG (1995) Audio Adrenaline bring their hard-hitting, personal sound to the stage--and back again. Live Bootleg demonstrates how Audio Adrenaline's sound converts to the stage. Maybe you too will see why the kids go crazy. |
 |
DON'T CENSOR ME (1993) It's hard to believe this is only Audio A.'s second album, and it's this record that launched them into superstardom in the Christian market...and certainly a higher profile in the mainstream. Don't Censor Me is recognized as the crossroads of the old and new AA, and that conflict gives maturity, depth and passion to their sound and songs. Read full review... |
 |
AUDIO ADRENALINE (1992) Audio Adrenaline may have gone through a lot of changes since they jumped around on the photo shoot for their self-titled debut, but history is worth digging into (most of the time, at least). Here they burst into the world of Christian rock, a world that needed new faces and eagerly welcomed Audio Adrenaline's enthusiastic rock. |
