It is their desire for real connection that leads them to cover real life issues in their music. Stellar Kart is not afraid to tackle the gritty realities of life in their music, be it depression, suicide, or any other challenge.
“We like to deal with issues that either we ourselves faced at a younger age or are dealing with now in our own lives or the lives of friends. But we try to leave with as optimistic impression as possible and give people hope to help them on the other end of what they’re going through,” Adam reveals. “We’re in a position of responsibility, and we’ve been preparing for the last several years so that we can stand up to the tests and are ready to do the right thing. The whole reason we play our music is to do ministry, to hopefully work in as many kids’ lives as possible. And we’re all in agreement with that position, or we couldn’t work together or stay together.”
Adam’s voice rings with sincerity as he speaks and it is easy to sense the deep level of commitment these band members share. I asked him about the central message they’d like kids to take away from Stellar Kart’s music.
Adam responds immediately and from the heart. “We realize that we can’t make it through life on our own. When you come to the realization that you need God, you see that He was actually there when you were going through your tough times. He had a plan to make it better, maybe better now, or maybe better two years from now, but He’s in charge. On this new album especially we want to acknowledge that that we’ve given up control of our lives to God.”
