Nebraska-based rock and roll band, Casting Pearls, will release their self-titled debut album in August with Inpop Records (newsboys, Mat Kearney, Superchic[k], Tree63, Paul Colman, Shane & Shane).

The band consists of Bryan Olesen (lead singer), Case Maranville (bass), and Scott Rutz (drum).

As one of the most successful independent bands in the US, the trio released their first track "Weighted" to national radio in February, which led to quick success.

"We wanted to create a record that would speak to our generation exactly where they're at that would say to them, and to ourselves, 'Be alive with your whole heart; don't settle, don't compromise.' With songs like 'Revolution' and 'Wastin' Time', that call is loud and clear."

The album, produced by Jason Burkum and Nathan Dantzler (Audio Adrenaline, Tree63, Kids In The Way), features the songwriting talents of Casting Pearls along with Mark Heimmerman (dc Talk) and Tim Hughes.
