Article One is a Christian rock band from London, Ontario. The band originally performed under the name Appertain Display but has since adopted the name Article One in honour of article one of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The group consists of Nathan Piche (vocals, guitar, and keys), Matt Piche (violin and vocals), Dave DeSmit (drums and vocals) and Mark Laidman (bass guitar). The band is currently signed under the label Inpop Records.

Kevin Max is one of the three members of dc Talk and began his solo career in 2001 with the album "Stereotype Be". The record was marketed towards christian music listeners by default, but was not a Christian album, and flopped as a result of the CCM industry "blacklisting" both the album and the artist. However, after a few years the album became a cult success with Christians and non-Christians alike.

(1) King James is a metal/rock supergroup formed in 1993 by guitarist Rex Carroll (formerly of Whitecross). He joined former Sacred Fire frontman, Jimi Bennett to form the band. Some time later, they recruited Tim Gaines and Robert Sweet, of Stryper, and released their first album in 1994. The band supported the album with a tour, but Gaines and Sweet departed shortly after. Carroll and Bennett remained together and released a second album (The Fall) by 1997. Supposedly, they have plans to release another album anytime soon.
