It's amazing how the success of a band sees record companies scurrying trying to find something which sounds just like them to jump on the bandwagon. At this moment A&R men across the USA are searching for "the next Delirious?" and "the next Jars Of Clay". Since the Jars boys' debut has just racked up its two millionth sale, you can understand that someone at Essential Records must have jumped up and down with glee when they heard FFH!! Here's a band who have all the great melodies, lush vocal harmonies and jangly acoustic guitars of Jars and yet their own personality too. The success of their independent release 'One Of These Days' caught Essential's ear and they have taken that basic album and added a couple of new tunes to give the band an extra kick and here they are! It's the songwriting of Jeremy Deibler that is really impressive. From the jaunty fun of "Big Fish" to the Jars soundalike "Wholly To You" and the reflective pop perfection of "One Of These Days" with its total singalong chorus, FFH are clearly in a position to establish themselves beyond the bandwagon as purveyors of ministry based pop that has the power to touch the listener.
