You tell me that I need to stay and face all of my fears until I reach the boundless heights beyond the atmosphere. So while I’m on my way I’ll fight to stay above the waves, and chase these wild, wild rivers through the open grave. Fear will have no say.

ABOUT WILD RIVERS

Wild Rivers is a bold, soul-stirring collection of songs that explores the tension between struggle and surrender, fear and faith, death and rebirth. Blending gritty rock textures with melodic vulnerability, the EP flows like its namesake—unpredictable, passionate, and deeply alive. Each track carries its own current: from the driving energy of “Diggin’ Graves” to the intimate longing of “Will You Be Mine Tonight,” every song feels like a chapter in the story of becoming.

Lyrically, the EP dives into themes of spiritual battle, identity, love, and divine purpose. It’s reflective without losing its edge—anchored in Christian truth but unafraid to ask hard questions. Songs like “Wilderness” and “Wild Rivers” wrestle openly with what it means to trust in seasons of silence or storm, while “As Long As You’re With Me” offers a rallying cry of perseverance rooted in God's presence. There’s a raw honesty here—hope not as a cliché, but as a lifeline.

The soundscape ranges from punchy alt-rock anthems to wide-open, cinematic ballads, often layering atmospheric guitar work, dynamic rhythms, and emotionally charged vocals. Divine Resonance brings a unique blend of worshipful grit and poetic rock, echoing influences like Switchfoot and NEEDTOBREATHE while carving out their own sonic lane. Wild Rivers isn’t just an EP—it’s a journey through the depths with your heart wide open and your hands raised high.

Track List

  • With driving guitars and soul-searching lyrics, “Diggin’ Graves” is a bold anthem of personal resurrection. It wrestles with the pull of old habits and fading ambitions, burying the past to make room for grace, truth, and new life. The song carries a gritty rock energy layered with a hopeful spirit—like a spiritual bonfire where dead weight gets burned away.

  • As the heartbeat of the EP, “Wild Rivers” is a raw, cinematic anthem about wrestling with fear, faith, and the weight of our own inner wars. It surges with emotional depth—twisting through spiritual doubt and personal resolve—until it crescendos into a declaration of surrender and courage. With soaring guitars and visceral lyrics, the track calls us to keep moving through chaos and trust that grace carries us, even in the flood.

  • “Wilderness” is a heartfelt journey through seasons of uncertainty and waiting, where trust becomes the lifeline. With a blend of tender melodies and honest lyrics, the song captures the struggle of walking by faith when clarity feels out of reach. It’s a prayerful anthem of perseverance, inviting listeners to cling to divine hope through every valley and shadow.

  • This track takes a turn toward the romantic with a highway heart and a starry-eyed spirit. “Will You Be Mine Tonight” captures the thrill of spontaneous love—windows down, headlights on, and hearts wide open. It’s a dreamy, feel-good rock love song for anyone chasing freedom and forever with someone by their side.

  • This high-energy anthem is a rally cry for the band. A cry of purpose and perseverance, rooted in the confidence that God’s presence makes the fight worth it. With gritty determination and a rhythm that pushes forward like a heartbeat of faith, the song reminds us that even when the cost is high, surrendering to His plan is how we rise. It's bold, passionate, and unshakably grounded in hope—made to be played loud.

THE MAKING OF WILD RIVERS

The songs on Wild Rivers have been with us for a while—some since as far back as 2019. They were born out of late-night jam sessions, moments of raw prayer, and the kind of life experience that only comes from walking through wilderness seasons firsthand. These tracks lived on the stage before they ever hit a studio. We've been playing them live for years, shaping and refining them through crowd energy, honest feedback, and a lot of trial by fire. They became road-tested prayers and declarations—songs that grew with us as we grew as a band.

In April 2025, we finally stepped into the studio at Electrical Audio in Chicago to bring these songs to life in a new way. Working with Greg Norman, a legendary sound engineer known for his warmth, intuition, and analog magic, we tracked the entire EP live over three packed, whirlwind days. No shortcuts. No piecing it together. Just the five of us in a room, chasing after something honest. Greg captured not just the notes but the feel—the sweat, the stories, the sacred tension behind every lyric.

This wasn’t just about making a polished record. It was about honoring the journey—the long road from inspiration to expression—and trusting that what began in hidden places could now speak to others in the open. Wild Rivers is the sound of our hearts on tape, imperfect and unfiltered, but full of purpose.
