Gideon’s
Army was born in 1973, during the early years of CCM. Hailing from the
San Francisco Bay Area, the band worked to support the prison ministry
that is now known as Follow Up Ministries, Inc. Gideon's Army worked
closely with juvenile halls, the CA Youth Authority, and CA State and
Federal prisons. Their sound started out as acoustic, laid back gospel
similar to the Maranatha! bands out of L.A. Before long, the band would
morph into a full-fledged aggressive Christian rock act. The change
was better suited for their outreach which included street ministry
(Jews for Jesus, S.O.S. San Francisco), Christian coffee houses, and
concert ministry (Great America, Oakland Civic Auditorium, H.P.
Pavillian San Jose) among many other ministry opportunities. It wasn’t
until 1982 the band recorded and independently released “Rock n’ Roll
For Your Soul.” The debut record reflected what was happening in the
S.F.B.A. music scene at the time - dual lead guitars, horns and an
R&B feeling. The 1985 release of the now iconic “Warriors of Love”
brought big changes both in personnel and sound. Gone were the horns,
dual guitar leads and most notably there was a more aggressive rock
format. The new sound stood shoulder to shoulder with bands like Van
Halen, Night Ranger, Petra, and .38 Special. The album sold like crazy
at shows, but with no formal distribution many people never got their
hands on the now high dollar collectible vinyl of this legendary classic
rock release. Retroactive Records has remastered this essential AOR
album, packaged it in a full color four panel digipak CD, and it is now
available in digital format for the first time ever. Take it from White
Throne Reviews, who say, “Their well written melodic rock tunes
would’ve fit well with fans of Idle Cure or Novella. Give “Warriors of
Love” a spin and enjoy!”

I found a song on YouTube from this project eve though it was not the remastered version. I liked the 70s vibe. I will check this out.

it's good to hear that retroactive is still putting out music. I've some music from this band a little while back but I don't remember it.

Gideon's Army

Here's the link to listen how Gideon's Army sounds.
I like it too.
The 70's vibe is cool.

Thanks for the link, that sounds pretty cool. Very "dated" to the early 80's or late 70"s, but still cool. I think I might have to get this.

I have the same thought.
