IndieHeaven, the leading Christian independent artist organization, and TAG Artist Group are excited to announce the first signing of an IndieHeaven artist to TAG's new distribution company. Starting in the first quarter of 2005, fans and consumers will be able to find and purchase Downpour, the latest release from Missouri-based band Chronos in top CBA Stores across the country.

“We knew it was a matter of time before this progressive band drew attention on a national level," says IndieHeaven founder Keith Mohr. TAG Artist Group learned of Chronos from the IndieHeaven website.

Chronos is a six-piece acoustic rock band featuring drums, bass, keys, guitar, sax, and violin. They are most often musically compared to the Dave Matthews Band, and feature stunning solos mixed in with a heavy, driving rhythym section. Downpour, the band’s sophomore effort, was released independently in September of 2004.

"We love IndieHeaven and the platform and tools it provides artists to connect with fans, resources and opportunities," states TAG Artist Group president Dan Huisinga. "We plan on utilizing the IndieHeaven.com site to locate and help take the best indie artists to the Christian retail marketplace. IndieHeaven is a strong online strategic partner for TAG in discovering and developing the gifted independent artists who have a strong call on their lives for music ministry. Look for more IndieHeaven artist signings in 2005.”

About IndieHeaven

IndieHeaven is a web-based community dedicated to bringing together independent Christian artists from around the globe, to enable, equip, affirm, and empower them to fulfill God's call on their lives. The website also provides independent artists with an advanced set of tools to promote, market and distribute their music. IndieHeaven.com launched in 1997 under the name BrokenRecords.com and survived the dot-com era when other indie music sites launched with tremendous financial backing but disappeared quickly. In 2002, BrokenRecords.com evolved into IndieHeaven, which better reflected their core mission. In just two years, IndieHeaven has almost 300 active members and remains truly independent.
