Pillar is a Christian rock band. Pillar originally started with playing in a rap metal style, and has since moved more to a hard rock sound. Their second album Fireproof sold over 300,000 copies with unyielding momentum. Pillar then released their next album "Where Do We Go From Here."

Where Do We Go From Here was released as an instant hit among Christian rock fans everywhere, capturing #1 on sales in the genre for weeks. The album featured multiple hits, including "Bring Me Down" which topped the charts for months. Not only Christian shows and stations played "Bring Me Down", however, it was requested heavily on secular stations as well.

Pillar was voted Best Hard Rock Band in CCM Magazine's 2006 Reader's Choice Awards.

Pillar is in the recording studio January, February, and March working hard on their next album. Travis Wyrick (P.O.D., 10 Years, Disciple and Pillar) will be producing the new album which should release this summer. They hope to release some early audio clips here this spring.
