Thousand Foot Krutch is a hard rock trio hailing from Peterborough, Canada. The band made their debut back in 1995, consisting of Trevor McNevan, Joel Bruyere, and Steve Augustine. Initially, Thousand Foot Krutch brought a fresh perspective to the nu-metal scene by infusing it with elements of praise and worship. Their early success came with the release of their debut LP, Set It Off, in 2000 under the label Diamante. Set It Off featured a mix of covers and original tracks, drawing comparisons to bands like P.O.D. and Papa Roach. As the years progressed, Thousand Foot Krutch continued to evolve and hone their sound, as seen in their subsequent albums like Phenomenon in 2003. Noteworthy is the band’s versatility, with band members McNevan and Augustine also exploring a pop-punk side project named FM Static.
The band’s musical journey saw significant milestones with the release of albums like The Art of Breaking in 2005, which marked a shift towards a heavier rock sound. This album, produced by Arnold Lanni, marked their entry into the mainstream music scene with a debut on the Billboard 200 chart. Thousand Foot Krutch’s persistence and talent propelled them to further success with albums like The Flame in All of Us in 2007 and Welcome to the Masquerade in 2009, both achieving high chart rankings. Their independent release, The End Is Where We Begin in 2012, showcased the band’s maturity and commitment to their craft. Throughout their career, Thousand Foot Krutch stayed true to their roots, delivering powerful performances and connecting with audiences through their authentic and emotive music.
