Spring is a season where the sun just starts to
break out from the grey clouds… Leaves begin
to grow on the bare barren trees… Flowers
bloom in fields… Animals step out of their
hiding... Birds begin resounding the sheer magnificence
of God's handiwork on display... This was the season
that we, like so many other things, began to take
form... Writing tunes that spoke of the various
things that make up that which we call our lives;
such as friendships, self-perception, God, generosity,
moving on and other such things... The result was
our first EP simple called 'Demo'…
Summer
follows after Spring... Summer is a season where animals
that were once but new now mature and dwell out in the
wild... Where the nights are longer and the days are
warmer... Where the recently grown leaves now provide
shade to those in need… Where the places God holds
the water in glisten and sparkle under a sun now in
full radiance... We wrote tunes that spoke of love and
how it effects all we are - be it trust, romance, self-control,
celebrations, relationships, faith, sacrifice, salvation
and the other aspects of the multifaceted diamond we
call love... The result was our second EP known as 'You
& Me'…
Autumn is the season that follows Summer... A season
where the sun creeps behind the clouds and makes way
for colder times... Where leaves start to fall from
the surrounding trees in a beautiful ballet, she takes
her bow, and her warmth with her as she exits, making
way for the icy frost that is to come... Animals gather
the crops that have grown over the last two seasons…
It’s here that God paints a vastly different canvas
of colors... We took the music we had grown over the
last two seasons and poured our efforts into a live
show that people could remember... The result was a
lot of travel and shows which saw us share stages with
some amazing bands - some of which became great mates,
such as the then unknown but now massive boys ‘New
Empire’ which should be enjoyed by all (www.myspace/newempiresound)
and the genius acoustic songsmiths known as ‘Playjerise’
(www.myspace.com/playjerise)...
Winter
is a season that takes over from Autumn... It's a season
where everything is worked back to the bare essentials...
Where the sun, along with the creatures of God's design
go into hibernation and hiding... The trees that once
were busting with life now sit bare like planted tumbleweeds...
Rain pours down from the darker skies. It's a time where
the world echoes the beauty of simplicity... It’s
in this place we took time to venture into the caves
of creativity and write songs that went back the basics
of who we are... The result was days in the studio to
come up with something we could take into a new season
the Holy Spirit was beginning to knit into existence...
And
now here we are back and into the start of a new season
for our band… Our next spring if you like... After
hibernation we have left the caves full of life, energy,
passion, vitality but hungry for more... We are hungry
to see the world become a better place… To become
a place that all those within it walk in all fullness
of the seasons God desires for them... The result, so
far, is the new single 'Shine Your Glory'… The
FREE
download not only includes the brand new
track but a bonus newly recorded track 'Lost At Sea'
and two very special (also freshly recorded) acoustic
versions of classic LUKAS tracks… This new release
speaks about our new hunger and of the blissfully startling
God that worked it through and in our hearts...
This
new spring has only just begun in the life of our band…
It feels like a clear new morning horizon… God
only knows where it will take us but we know it'll be
awesome and we encourage you to join us...
The LUKAS boys
