Worth Dying For is a five-piece group from Modesto, Calif., that honed their musical chops leading a weekly youth outreach of their Calvary Chapel church. Worth Dying For, their self-titled debut, furthers their Modesto mission to “infiltrate” youth culture and stir a revolution for Christ. The CD’s 15 pop-rock anthems and emotive ballads are anchored by guitars set on overdrive and pushed by plenty of distorted six-string crunch and punch. But the full song-mix includes tunes shaded with pop and techno, as with “Holy,” “At Your Cross,” “Take Me” and “Let It Out.” Coloring these vibrantly is the voice of frontwoman Christy Johnson, who shares lead vocals on the CD with Sean Loche. Opening track “Revolution” is a driving modern-rock statement of purpose and mission: “We are the sound / Of a revolution! / We won’t back down / To a revolution!” Mirroring it is the CD’s final cut, “Infiltrate”—an anthemic cry to Jesus borne by the repetitive refrain: “We will die for You!” Together the two cuts are not just bookends stating WDF’s convictions. They are also two distinct reasons Worth Dying For is worth listening to.
