After 10 years as frontman for Petra, John ventured forth with his first solo album, "SHAKE," in 1995.
Amidst rumors of
his leaving Petra, it was made perfectly clear that John not only would remain
with Petra, but that he was fully capable of pursuing a solo career simultaneously
– a feat no other lead singer in the Christian industry had ever attempted.
John not only made the attempt - but he excelled at it.
Following closely
on the heels of "SHAKE," "UNFIT FOR SWINE" made its debut
in 1996. A very diverse album musically, "SWINE" showcases John’s
versatility as a vocalist, with elements of alternative and modern rock in a
surprising blend that rages with intensity and drive.
