II Guys From Petra helped shape contemporary Christian music when it was still finding its sound. Their early albums 'Petra' and 'Come and Join Us' gave the genre a rock edge that wasn't always welcomed by conservative listeners. Songs like 'My Redeemer Lives' stuck around in churches and on Christian radio long after the band stopped recording.
They started in Minneapolis in the early 1970s with Greg X. Volz and Bill Glover. Over the next two decades, they put out records like 'Never Say Die' and 'Not of This World', with lineup changes along the way. Their later albums included 'Back to the Street' and 'Unseen Power'.
