Resurrection Band – The Light Years

There may be no better musical example of the concept of “tough love” than Chicago’s Resurrection Band. Boldly committed to embracing the outcast, speaking unvarnished truth to power, kicking over cultural stones and sacred cows with prophetic abandon, and shining the light of love into even the darkest corners, the members of Resurrection Band were a complete anomaly in both the world of rock and roll and the emerging evangelical industrial complex of the modern church.

After two excellent records in the 70s that captured the lingering aesthetic of the counter-culture by melding elements of progressive and acid rock with heavy blues, Resurrection Band emerged into the 1980s with a fresh musical and missional perspective. While still doggedly committed to taking the radical words of Jesus seriously, the group had been living in “intentional community” long enough by then to have faced the fallenness of man head-on. That they chose to do so not in some utopian commune in the desert but in a blood-stained Chicago neighborhood known for gang violence, prostitution, homelessness, and drugs, forced their eyes to stay wide open. The musical result was a trilogy of albums that combines elements of 80s hard rock, new wave, and even punk into something truly unique. Call it urban hard rock, if you will, but these three albums, Colours, Mommy Don’t Love Daddy Anymore, and DMZ, saw the band truly come of age. They would come to define the very concept of Gospel Rock.

Mommy Don't Love Daddy Anymore (1981)

Mommy Don't Love Daddy was Resurrection Band's second release for Christian label Light Records.  

Mommy Don't Love Daddy Anymore offers social commentary (on the American culture of divorce), but it does so on an immediate level, by describing one child's description of his family's dysfunction. Yet as powerful as it is, the songs becomes even more chilling to anyone who learns Glenn Kaiser's life story and realizes how autobiographical this detailed scenario is for him. Elevator Music humorously trashes american materialism In other words don't think for a minute you are getting a rock album without substance.  Truth, pain, grace and pure rock n roll all here.  A gut-full of guitar and gut wrenching pain all wrapped together.  Yes, thats what makes this album so special. The music itself is a masterpiece but when you add the read world complications in story form, especially the way that Glenn and Wendy weave in and out, it becomes one of those albums for a life-time. Which of course is why labeling it an an icon Christian Rock album might be the biggest understatement one could ever make.

Resurrection Band History

Forming in the early 70’s under the name “Charity” as part of a Christian community in Milwaukee, the band featured husband and wife lead singer, Glenn and Wendi Kaiser. After a move to Chicago and a change of name to “Resurrection Band” the group released a now rare cassette of demos called “Music to Raise the Dead.” That tape would actually contain a long time live favorite “Quite Enough” that would not be officially recorded and released until their live album, “Bootleg” more than a decade later.

In 1974 the band recorded their Music To Raise The Dead cassette on a 4-track recorder using headphones in a basement.  It pure Led Zeppelin sounding with some amazing blues and rock, fuzz guitar and now-vintage amps.  It would be the start of 15 full length albums, the best darn festival ever (Cornerstone) and a load a Glenn Kaiser solo albums to come later.

In 1978 the band was signed to the Star Song label that also includes Petra as an artist. It seemed like it would be a great fit as it was hoped that those at Star Song would understand the aggressive ministry, music and message of the band. But that relationship would only last for two albums before moving to Light Records for their next 3 releases, Colors, Mommy Don't Love Daddy Anymore and D.M.Z before moving to Sparrow in 1984. At that point the band name was shortened to REZ or REZ Band for their remaining albums.
