I had the opportunity to catch up with The Great Commission on the Abominable Snow Tour in Raleigh.  Justin was nice enough to agree to an interview.  I dig The Great Commission, I don’t know if I would classify their music as “classic” style hardcore, but it is definitely good stuff (if you like bands like Sleeping Giant, you will dig The Great Commission).  They have a full length album “Every Knee Shall Bow” that was released on Strike First Records, if you don’t have it, go and pick it up, well worth the $9.  I spoke with all the members of the band, and I can tell you that they are all in for Christ, and their message is definitely an uplifting one.  As Justin, the singer of The Great Commission says, “we are a ministry and we are all about heavy worship.”  So enjoy the interview and if you are going to Cornerstone this year, you can catch the band there this year.
