Flight From Below came together as young high school boys in 2008 for a school worship project aimed at engaging youth in worship on monday mornings. This ongoing project allowed the guys to come together as brothers and experiment with their growing passion for music and performance. As time passed, original songs began to formulate and in the fall of 2008, FFB recorded their debut 'Reconciled To Home EP' with producer Trey Rick and released it in January of 2009. Over the course of 2009, the band began gaining experience in both booking and marketing, seeking to build up a positive music scene in their home-town of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. In the spring of 2010, Flight From Below entered and won a spot on the Cornerstone New Band Showcase, paving the way for a summer tour that would radically change the band from the inside out. Fresh off of Cornerstone, FFB suffered dramatic member changes, financial calamity, and a general loss of hope. However, by the time Thanksgiving week rolled around, a new EP was being produced by FFB's very own Mark Wheat. Also in the works was a Christmas break tour including a two week trip to Kenya, Africa. While in Africa, FFB's new lineup was able to lead worship at a mission conference in Nairobi, preach in minister to Mossai churches, work in an orphanage, and spend two days working in the Kibera slums of Nairobi, Kenya. The day after FFB's return to the states in January of 2011, a release show was help for the Hypocrites Lair EP and started the band off on a short string of show dates before school and work began anew. As of right now, the band is preparing to record a new album over spring break with the sole purpose of expressing God's gracious love and proclaiming His glory through passionate worship. The band is also booking a month-long summer tour which will include dates all over the country. Hopes are high for these four young men as they prepare for another year of trials and adventure. FFB's influences range from Anberlin, Blink-182, A Day To Remember, Mayday Parade, and Moneta, to Underoath, and Ascend the Hill.
