Rend Collective
The band was established under the name of Rend Collective Experiment between 2002-2003 during a point which drummer Gareth Gilkeson described as “a bunch of us trying to figure out life. Before the formation, most of the members were part of the “Rend” young adults ministry at Bangor Elim Church to where Gilkeson preached and Llewellyn led worship.” While the group comprises over 15 members, the band tours and records with 6 members. The remaining members are there for support and to encourage the band “spiritually, musically, and missionally.” They explained noticing a sense of hostility from the modern culture towards the church and Christians therefore sought to create music that would draw such individuals spiritually and encourage them to come back to church.
