Rend Collective is an eclectic collective of musicians hailing from Bangor, Northern Ireland, known for their vibrant and dynamic approach to Christian worship music. Formed in 2007, the group blends folk influences with a blend of contemporary worship, creating a unique and engaging sound that resonates across generations and geographies. Led by Gareth Gilkeson and Chris Llewellyn, the band initially gained traction in Christian music circles before garnering a wider audience through their uplifting and spirited live performances.

Their discography includes an array of albums and singles that often reflect their spiritual messages through catchy melodies and thoughtful lyrics. Rend Collective has a knack for combining traditional Irish instruments like the bodhrán and mandolin with modern pop sensibilities, which can be heard in their recent releases such as "Hallelujah Anyway" and "Whosoever." They have also embraced their heritage with Irish-infused renditions of Christmas classics in "A Jolly Irish Christmas (Vol. 2)," bringing joy and festivity to listeners around the world. Whether it’s through the heartfelt worship of "I CHOOSE TO WORSHIP (Radio Version)" or the communal celebration of "YEAR OF VICTORY," Rend Collective continues to craft a soundtrack for both personal reflection and corporate praise. Their message of hope and joy has remained a constant, proving that their music is not just about entertainment, but about creating an experience that draws people closer together and toward a deeper spiritual connection.
