Nashville, Tenn. (May 8, 2013) - Finding Favour won't 'slip on by' as the emerging act celebrates their self-titled debut release to a slew of praise. The project, which released this week on May 7 at Christian retailers, boasts soul-shaking anthems and powerful ballads such as their emotional lead song, "Slip On By." The band's foot-stomping track, "Shake The World" will impact radio next month. The band is currently on the road with Building 429 and Rhett Walker Band.

Monday night, Finding Favour showcased an incredibly moving performance of their Top 25 hit, "Slip On By" at the 35th Anniversary ASCAP Christian Music Awards. Inspired by a conversation between lead singer Blake NeeSmith and his grandfather, the impactful lyrics from the song is what drew acclaimed artist TobyMac to Finding Favour stating - "it grabbed my heart and stirred some emotion in me that made me want to live differently."

TobyMac isn't the only one excited about this debut project. Check out a few of the media highlights on Finding Favour:
