Rend Collective
What can you say about Rend Collective Experiment? Well, quite a lot, so it happens. There’s a lot of chat about this new worship group from Northern Ireland, and whenever you tune in to the buzz there are some pretty familiar words that keep on appearing: fresh, inspirational, mindblowingly-good. "We are a collective of people like a family and not just a band. We want our music to be what we call Organic worship, an honest and natural connection with God, something which is authentic and not artificial. We want to create an environment for people to have genuine encounters with Him and to find themselves singing to Him in ways that they find real." Rend Collective Experiment started in 2004 as a group of confused twentysomethings trying to figure out life, God, community and kingdom living. The band came from that - we started writing songs that made sense to us. The worship, the questions, the community: they were all connected and we were journeying towards a solution together. We’re a collective and we want you to be a part of it so welcome to the family.”
