The upcoming band Leland are filling in for Dave Crowder today- Leland are 2 young brothers (21 and 18) from Texas with three of their friends. Their music is intense and worshipful, their lyrics are powerful and fresh, and one song in particular -Tears of the Saints- is destined to be a classic.

Here's a picture of Michael Caine and Hugh Jackman from the film.
