"Their stage show was incredible... They also did a great job of connecting and sharing their passion for Christ through their music... We thoroughly enjoyed them." - Alicia Karlsson, Compass Bible Church, Aliso Viejo, CA

Hailing from Southern California, THE TRADE delves into the sounds of electronica, modern rock, electro-rock, punk, garage, and ambient to create a sound that is both familiar and original with lyrics that scream of a devotion to a higher calling. Chris Lopez (lead vocals), Marcos Barboza (keyboards and guitar), Eric Estrada (lead guitar), Dan Cervantes (bass), and Samuel Villalta (drums) put on an incredible live show, with a tight, twin-guitar attack augmented by keyboards and frontman Lopez' riveting stage presence.

The message of songs like "White Noise" and "Let It down" underscores the band's mission to reach the world with the message of hope in the gospel; equally at home at a church or a club, the band is well-versed in what it takes to do outreach outside of the walls of the church.
