Petra was known for bringing higher production values to Christian rock than had been seen to that point. John Elefante (from the band Kansas) and his brother Dino produced several of their albums and wrote some of their songs. They brought the same production value to the Petra projects that Kansas employed.

If you want to go further back, try out some Resurrection Band. Apparently some weird people but one of the first bands to try and bring hard rock to Jesus music.

The comments about Keith Green are pretty spot on. But don’t sleep on Rich Mullins. He was in a similar vein at his best.

The Elefante Brothers were great…John is, to this day, a world class vocalist….some of the earliest work they did was producing a band called the Sweet Comfort Band…early 80’s, same time as the Rez Band…so many memories.
