Editor's note

Kutless, the Portland Christian rock band

A steady presence in Christian rock since the late '90s, known for anthems like 'Strong Tower'.

For a sense of their sound, 'Strong Tower' and 'Hungry' frame it well, big choruses, clean production, and lyrics centered on perseverance.

They've been a reliable voice in Christian rock for over two decades, delivering songs that stick. 'Strong Tower' from 2006 became a radio staple, and tracks like 'What Faith Can Do' followed with big, clean choruses about faith. Their sound draws from U2 and Switchfoot, giving their music an accessible, guitar-driven feel.

Formed in Portland in 1999, they started with a mix of Christian rock and alternative influences. They kept putting out albums through the 2000s and 2010s, including 'It Is Well' and 'Glory', staying within their lane of straightforward rock anthems.

Archive material and source history

Kutless formed in Portland, Oregon in 1999 with Jon Micah Sumrall on vocals, James Mead on lead guitar, Ryan Shrout on rhythm guitar, Kyle Mitchell on bass, and Jeffrey Gilbert on drums. They started making music that leaned into contemporary Christian rock with some alternative edges, drawing from bands like U2 and Switchfoot.

Their 2006 album 'Strong Tower' gave them one of their most recognizable songs, a straightforward rock anthem that became a staple in Christian radio. Other tracks like 'What Faith Can Do' and 'Promise of a Lifetime' followed a similar pattern, big choruses, clean production, and lyrics centered on faith and perseverance.

In 2008, they faced some noise about similarities between their song 'Sea of Faces' and a track by The Fray, though nothing substantial came of it. They kept putting out albums through the 2000s and into the 2010s, including 'It Is Well' in 2009 and 'Glory' in 2012, staying within their lane of accessible, guitar-driven Christian rock.
