Hundred Year Storm

by Kenyon Hopkin
The epic emo-rock of Christian band Hundred Year Storm is created by vocalist/guitarist Bill McCharen, guitarist/vocalist David Kiesel, drummer Brandon Johnson, and bassist Shane Fling. Formed in the summer of 2003 in Austin, TX, the quartet might be compared to popular Christian band Switchfoot, but Hundred Year Storm also combine an otherworldly atmosphere with thought-provoking soundbites from people such as Martin Luther King, Jr. A self-titled EP surfaced in November 2004, followed by a full-length debut in August 2006 on Floodgate/East West titled Hello from the Children of Planet Earth.
