But He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised
for our iniquities, ... and by His stripes we were healed. ~ Isaiah

Christian music's answer to the glam rockers of the '80s.
These guys took both the Christian and secular world by storm. By wearing
the bold outfits of yellow and black they definitely had a look very much their
own. To help get their message to the people they were trying to reach
they toured with groups such as Poison and threw bibles out to the crowds.
They have not performed in the United States since they broke up in 1991.
Several of the band members had had moderately successful solo careers.
The group had their first reunion performance at year's 2001 Cornerstone
Festival. In 2004 they returned to Night of Joy minus the Yellow and
Black suits. They return to their recording career in 2005 with
the new release Reborn.
