Blessid Union Of Souls return with new album

MAINSTREAM American rock band Blessid Union Of Souls, who had a Platinum selling hit in 1995 with "I Believe", will release a new album 'The Mission Field'. The album is set for US release on 1st March on Salvation Road Records. Said the band's founder and lead singer Eliot Sloan about the plan to distribute the album into the mainstream (through Sony) and Christian retail (through Integrity-Provident), "A lot of fans have said this is the perfect transition and I also hope to inspire new listeners as well, but I don't really think about marketplaces or numbers when I'm writing. I always just want to make them sound as good as possible while singing something of substance, which on this record says 'let's strap in and really make a daily, conscious effort to follow in Christ's footsteps.' I'm always under construction, but at the same time, if I wait until I'm perfect before taking a step, then it's never going to happen. I don't know of any perfect people except one and they hung him on the cross! I think the songs speak about looking at ourselves a little closer, paying more attention to what we say and do, and knowing that overall world change is possible, but it starts with one person at a time."
