Background notes
Archive material and source history
Holiness formed in Los Angeles in 1983 with Justin Tanner on vocals, Mark Evans on guitar, Dave Johnson on bass, and Jake Stevens on drums. They started playing in underground clubs, building a following before releasing their debut album 'Truth and Consequences' in 1987. The album's title track 'The Truth' became their breakthrough song, known for its honest lyrics and raw sound.
Their music often blended rock with alternative and gospel elements, creating a distinctive style that showed up in songs like 'Dead Inside' and 'Into the Light.' They released several albums through the early 1990s, including 'Unveiled' in 1990 and 'Redemption' in 1993. Their lyrics sometimes addressed faith and social issues, which drew both dedicated fans and some criticism.
Holiness toured regularly, known for energetic live performances. Beyond 'The Truth,' songs like 'Mine,' 'Breath In Time,' and 'Take Me Closer' continued to resonate with their audience. The band maintained the same lineup throughout their active years, with Tanner's vocals and Evans' guitar work forming the core of their sound.
