Antioch (7)

Christian rock group from North Bend, Washington founded February 1984 by Roger Cleven on guitar and Monty Wright (keyboardist). They were soon joined by drummer Russ Wentz and Brian Anderson on bass. Wentz was later replaced by Tony Honeywell. Singer/guitarist Paul Racey was discovered running lights at an event Roger and Monty attended. When Brian departed, Jim Freeman took his place. With the exit of Wright early in 1986, the band's sound took a turn toward hard rock. In 1988, Freeman left Antioch and a couple different fill-in bassists were used. The following year, Racey left to pursue other musical interests and Cleven quit the band to return to college effectively ending the group. There have been a handful of reunion shows since then.
