INO band VOTA getting ready to release self-titled project

THE POP rock band formerly known as Casting Pearls, VOTA will have their self-title album released digitally on 11th November and physically in February 2009 by INO. The band is fronted by former Newsboy Bryan Olesen. About their name change Olesen said, "With Casting Crowns having such a name in the Christian music industry, we felt at this point being named anything that starts with Casting may cause some confusion. We felt it best to set ourselves apart from the possible puzzlement and start fresh." 'VOTA' is produced by Nathan Dantzler (Relient K, Audio Adrenaline).
