The Neverclaim

Nothing typical comes out of Portland.
So, it makes perfect sense that The Neverclaim may be, perhaps, one of the most atypical worship bands presently impacting church culture.
“We’ve developed an eclectic musical style that seems to separate us from any other worship circles we’d experienced,” Carlson says. “It’s at once youthful and folksy, new and familiar. With our goal being to stir revival in multiple generations, it’s encouraging to see such a span of ages in the audience and how our songs are connecting to so many generations in the Church.”
In a relatively short time, this sextet has evolved from local, to regional, to national and now international levels. Playing regularly with some of Christian music’s biggest acts such as Kutless, Tenth Avenue North, Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Matt Maher, Phil Wickham and many more. The band’s first taste of regional and some national attention derived from its involvement with Cultivation Generation – a youth conference set in Boise, Idaho – including original songs featured on a Vineyard Music-released live album. Another huge break came in the form of winning a national talent competition in Austin, Texas, which opened doors for the band to play a Christian music festival. There, they caught headline act Third Day’s attention and subsequently joined them on a series of tour dates as an opening act.
Perfectly complementing the momentum and mass exposure of that two-week tour, The Neverclaim released its debut full-length REVIVAL in Spring 2012, featuring the first radio single “My Soul Longs” and live favorites “His Glory Is Rising”, “Burn” and the heart-stirring title track.
‘Revival’ has always been our flagship song – kind of the crowd favorite,” Carlson says. “I think it speaks something into people’s hearts that they’re most likely already feeling: their desire to be a part of what God is doing and believe that we’re here for a deeper reason than just existing.”
Capitalizing on the band’s “atypical” roots, each band member performed multiple instruments on REVIVAL, including most of the string and horn elements.
The Neverclaim have already begun settling in for an intense touring schedule throughout 2012, which will be punctuated by a fall tour with Newsboys. This Summer, the band will tour in support of Father Of Lights, a new ary by Wanderlust Productions (Finger Of God, Furious Love) in which The Neverclaim are featured on its soundtrack. They have also been featured on two of the last Worships Leader Magazines “Song Discovery” Compilations and will be one of the featured worship artists at the WLM worship conference along with Lincoln Brewster and Kari Jobe. Having recently signed to Night Vision Artist Management, The Neverclaim are sure to become a force to be reckoned with in The Christian Music Scene.
