Overview

Thousand Foot Krutch's first release, That's What People Do, was released independently in 1998 and is out of print. The band first made an impact on the Christian rock scene with their next release, Set It Off, in 2000. The sound of the album was distinct in its heavily hip-hop influenced rap nu-metal, and though a few songs from the record (including "Puppet" and "Supafly") impacted at both Secular and Christian radio, the band gained notoriety almost entirely through self-promotion and word of mouth. The band also printed a limited edition "Pre-release" version of "Set It Off" at a release party in Peterborough, Ontario for their local fans.

In 2003, TFK signed with Seattle-based Tooth & Nail Records after long consideration and released their critically-acclaimed second full-length CD, Phenomenon. Though something of a departure from the rap-heavy sound of Set it Off, Phenomenon still relied on McNevan's rhythmic vocals, albeit with a solid modern rock sound. Phenomenon received almost universal praise, and spawned 4 popular radio singles, including the anthemic " Rawkfist." The CD sold over 100,000 units in under a year, making it one of the best-selling albums in Tooth & Nail's history. They continued this success with the 2004 re-release of Set it Off through Tooth & Nail, allowing for a larger print run and adding 6 songs, including five from "That's What People Do." â€œSeattleâ€ redirects here. ...
