Artist History
Realign’s latest effort, entitled “New Wine” is about new beginnings; letting go of all the crap in your past a starting over with a clean slate. A theme no doubt inspired by the new life that has been breathed into the band as of late.
A few recent personnel changes in the midst of trying to write and record a new record proved challenging. But this state of uncertainty about Realign’s future only strengthened the resolve of founding members Brandon Jamison, Ryan Jamison, and Michael Dotson
Their commitment to hard work and excellence has been the cornerstone of Realign’s success. With their previous record, and extensive touring they set in place a strong foundation. Realign’s reputation for an intense, and captivating live show has landed them on the stage with many major label acts such as Kutless, Thousand Foot Krutch, Day of Fire, and Red.
The goal with “New Wine” is to expand on this foundation. In an effort to take Their songwriting to the next level, Realign sought out Billboard charting producer Jeremy Luzier. This collaboration yielded a new, edgier Realign sound with more depth lyrically and musically: an aggressive hardcore edge with an alternative touch that speaks a message of hope in the midst of pain and suffering. The record is set to release independently in Spring ‘08. And, with the addition of new bass player, Mike Patten, and guitar player, Chris Palmer, Realign will be hitting the road hard over the next year, supporting what they feel is only the first of many great Realign albums to come.
Despiste all the changing that has taken place in Realign, the main goal remains the same: to connect with people on a real, personal level and bring a message of hope into the lives of the hurt and suffering.

 "New Wine” is a progressive Christian hard rock album from Realign, a tight band with a cutting edge sound. The listener is immediately pulled in by Realign’s awesome driving guitar sound that, combined with energetic yet sensitive vocals and a killer rhythm section, is a recipe for a winner. Realign has a great rock sound, with an overall vocal and musical performance similar to Rush, Incubus, and Christian hard rock band Chevelle. The production quality of “New Wine” is fantastic, mixed to really bring everything forward and electrify your ear drums. The quality of sound can also be attributed to a well-layered sound created by polished musicians. Highlights include the title track, "New Wine," which opens the album musically and establishes the spiritual and driven sound of the album. "Lapse in Judgement" opens with a haunting piano line and atmospheric synths, then erupts into a rocker. "Far From Yesterday" features a hot guitar riff, cool changes, and intricate drum work. With “New Wine,” Realign has bridged the gap between secular and non-secular music with a great mainstream rock sound and Christianity-inspired lyrics.
