Biography

Formed in Portland, Oregon as a Metal band called "Call Box" in 2000, reportedly when front man Jon Micah Sumrall had a long emotional talk with his at-the-time best friend, Chris. He said on his FreeOpenDiary, "Chris helped me find the light...". 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 and be the most played song of the first 5 years on ChristianRock.net.^{[citation needed]} Nickname: Location in Multnomah County and the state of Oregon Coordinates: Country United States State Oregon County Multnomah County Incorporated February 8, 1851 Government  - Mayor Tom Potter Area  - City  145. ...

In 2004, after releasing their second full-length album, Sea of Faces, Kutless would go on their first headlining tour, X 2004.
