Before the Allies, Thomas was already well known in Christian circles for his role in the highly influential group, Sweet Comfort Band (which also included Bryan Duncan). The demise of that seminal act led\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehim to contact old friends for a reunion of ex’s from two previous outings: he had played with Carlisle and Jim Erikson in the 1970's band Psalm 150 (which also included future members of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndraé Crouch’s Disciples, Damn Yankees, and Night Ranger\u003c\/strong\u003e) and with Sam Scott and Matt Chapman in a group called Sonrise. Thus in 1984 the Allies were born in San Bernardino, California. In later years, Chapman would turn up playing bass in Clash of Symbols, and Carlisle would earn fame for his ballad “Butterfly Kisses,” written with Thomas. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE ALBUMS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the 1985 debut album, Allies took the CCM world by storm with their brand of AOR commercial rock featuring mega-hooks with a distinct bite!  Fans of Van Halen, Idle Cure, Journey, later period Sweet Comfort Band, and Petra would lose their minds as the band toured and dominated both radio and CCM sales charts.  The 1986 sophomore release, \u003cem\u003eVirtues\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewould build on the band's strengths - melody, harmony, and massive hooks!  Both the self-titled debut and \u003cem\u003eVirtues\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eare considered to be Christian rock royalty and this is the first time collector's will be able to enjoy these classics digitally remastered with 12 page inserts, an Allies foil-stamped trading card (in each release), and a must-read 2021 interview with guitarist, Randy Thomas that starts in the debut album, and concludes in the \u003cem\u003eVirtues\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCD (get them both to read the entire interview and get both trading cards!). \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Tracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHardened Hearts \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn With The Fight \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf You Believe \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHarmony \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePrayer For The Children \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn America \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJacque Remembers \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSomebody Told Me You Were Crying \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLet's Fall In Love (All Over Again) \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRunnin' Out Of Time\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YjXuRvCRBfU\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Boone's Overstock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51705133564150,"sku":"uys1789818023836","price":6.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/4907\/6470\/files\/allies---virtues-trading-card-new-cd-2021-retroactive_1.jpg?v=1789818028","url":"https:\/\/intentionalcladfit.shop\/products\/allies-virtues-trading-card-new-cd-2021-retroactive","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
