October

The band is named as among the Regional finalists of the Nescafe Soundskool Band Competitions which was held in SM Davao, Davao City. The band competed for the right to represent Mindanao in the National Finals only to lose out to the band's guitarist Erikson and Drummer Adonis' other band Nobelista Pasta. But Nevertheless, it was a tight battle from the beginning to the end.

 

November

 

The band has found a new partner in Ivory Records (the record label of MYMP) as they became the new Sub-Distributor of the band's debut album "In Awe of His Amazing Love." The role of Ivory Music is to distribute the album in Major Record bars like SM Record Bar, Oddyssey, and others all over the country. Praise Music still owns the exclusive distributor tag while Ivory Music is their Sub-distributor. This move will help expand the reach and availability of the album. It is still widely available at House of Praise.

They also debuted a new jingle they wrote for Kevin Sardines... Perhaps a sign of things to come? The Chuy Interview was also showed again during the last sunday of the year.

 

2007 has been a good year for the band. But we are hoping that 2008 would even be a better year. We will be having our Anniversary concert at the Lim Ket Kai Mall Entertainment Hall this coming January 12, 2008. We are hoping to see you there as we celebrate our two year anniversary in the Music Scene. Thank you for all your support. Please support the whole of OPM-CCM! Take Care and God Bless!
