Kutless
Kutless is a Christian rock band formed in 2000 which has sold over 1.4 million records. To date they have a total of six studio albums including their latest, It Is Well. The band has also released a live album, Live from Portland.
Originally formed in Portland, Oregon as a Worship band named Call Box in 2000. They changed their name to “Kutless” before releasing their first three track EP followed up by their full-length album in 2002 on BEC Recordings. Kutless chose their name because of a specific Bible verse. Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (NRSV). Because of this, the band says, “He took our cuts for us… leaving us ‘Kutless’.” Their first single was called “Your Touch”. Their second single from their debut album, “Run”, would go on to hold the record for the longest charting song in the history of the R&R Top 40 charts.
