Thousand Foot Krutch: Rawkfist

Thousand Foot Krutch (TFK) ir kristiešu rokgrupa no Kanādas. Grupa ieguvusi septiņas Kanādas Gospelmūzikas asociācijas gada balvas un vairākas citas mūzikas industrijas balvas. TFK izdoto albumu koptirāža pārsniedz pusmiljona eksemplāru.

Grupu 1997.gadā Pītersboro pilsētā Ontario nodibināja Trevor McNevan. Nosaukums Thousand Foot Krutch „simbolizē lietas mūsu dzīvēs, ko īstenojam, bet nespējamam paveikt pašu spēkā”. TFK lielā mērā ir turpinājums grupai Oddball, ko McNeven izveidoja 1995.gadā un kurā spēlēja vairāki vēlākie TFK mūziķi.

TFK debijas albums That’s What People Do iznāca 1998.gadā 5000 eksemplāru lielā tirāžā. Tas tika izdots pašu līdzekļiem, tomēr dziesmas no albuma kļuva populāras radiostacijās, albumu augstu novērtēja arī vairāku mūzikas izdevumu lasītāji. Grupas nākamais albums Set It Off izpelnījās vēl lielāku ievērību. TFK sāka intensīvu koncertturneju periodu, uzstājoties kopā ar daudzām pazīstamām grupām un solistiem.

2003.gadā TFK parakstīja līgumu ar kompāniju Tooth & Nail Records un ierakstīja albumu Phenomenon, kam nākamajos gados sekoja vēl vairāki kritikas un klausītāju novērtēti albumi un neskaitāmas koncerttūres kopā ar citām kristiešu rokgrupām.

Throw up your rawkfist

Show ’em how we blow the spot,
Let’s make it hot,
Let’s shock ’em with the bodyrock ’til the party stops.

It’s time to take it up a notch, and keep it locked,
for all the headbangers in the parking lot.
Here we come, if you’re ready or not.
No time to talk.
