Resurrection Band (often abbreviated as REZ Band) emerged in the late 1970s from the Chicago area, quickly becoming a pioneering force in Christian rock. Fronted by Glenn Kaiser (vocals/guitar) and featuring Stu Heiss (guitar), Jim Denton (bass), and John Herrin (drums), the band fused bluesy guitar riffs with bold, confrontational lyrics that addressed social issues, faith, and personal struggle. Their uncompromising approach earned both a dedicated following and critical attention, helping to shape the sound of Christian rock for generations. Over the years, REZ Band released a string of influential albums, live recordings, and reissues that continue to resonate with fans of rock with a message. Their legacy lives on through later projects by band members and collaborators who carry the same spirit of honesty and musicality.
Across decades, Resurrection Band’s impact extended beyond charts and venues. They are remembered for high-energy performances, intricate guitar work, and a commitment to ministry through music. For fans and new listeners alike, the band offers a window into a pivotal era of rock where faith and art intersected with unflinching integrity.
