Inpop Records' Dove Award-winning rock trio Tree63 is preparing for
the release of the band's third project, The Answer to the Question,
hitting streets March 9. Two singles simultaneously released from
the album are already climbing rapidly up the radio charts.


Following its Top 10 AC debut, "Blessed Be Your Name" was the most
added Christian AC song last week for Radio & Records (R&R) and is
now at #8 this week on the Christian Radio Weekly (CRW) AC chart.
The album's title song enjoyed a #18 debut on the R&R Christian Rock
chart, and has since rocketed up to the chart's #9 position.

Tree63 garnered a string of #1 and Top 5 singles with its first two
releases, the band's Dove Award winning self-titled debut and 2002's
The Life and Times of Absolute Truth. The trend looks to continue
with The Answer to the Question as the album's first two singles
garner adds and praise from radio programmers across the country. In
addition to charting in the Top 10 on both the Christian AC and Rock
charts, The Answer to the Question is getting CHR airplay
with "Blessed Be Your Name," currently #30 on the R&R CHR
chart. "Blessed Be Your Name" has been added at 32 stations since
the two singles launched Jan. 9, including WAY-FM, KSBJ Houston, KXOJ
Tulsa, the AIR-1 radio network and the K-LOVE radio network, whose
morning on-air personality and vice president for programming
management, Jon Rivers, commented on the song.

"Tree63 is one of the surprises of the new year," Rivers
said. "Seemingly out of nowhere, their version of `Blessed Be Your
Name' is a fresh treatment of an already established worship
favorite. They somehow developed the perfect blend of intimate, edgy
vocals cradled in gentle rock riffs and grooves that fit perfectly in
today's contemporary formats. Our listeners love it!"

"`Blessed Be Your Name' is already the biggest AC single Inpop has
ever had," said Steve Ford, general manager for Inpop Records. "To
debut at #9 is a huge accomplishment, and both singles are showing no
signs of slowing down."

The Answer to the Question displays the band's trademark anthemic,
guitar-driven sound that the group has perfected at live concerts
around the world, coupled with intimate, worshipful lyricism. The
project was produced by Jason Burkham [Audio Adrenaline, Stereo
Motion], Nathan Dantzler [Kids In the Way, Audio Adrenaline] and
Tree63 frontman John Ellis, and features Ellis as songwriter on every
cut except "Blessed Be Your Name," written by Matt Redman.

"This is a record of songs about God, about our love for Jesus, about
some of the frustrations that come with being alive with Christ in a
world dead with sin," said Tree63 front man John Ellis. Sonically,
he said, "[The Answer To the Question] happens to be the closest
we've ever come to capturing the true essence of what Tree63 is live,
which is exciting."

Hailing from South Africa, Tree63 first appeared in the U.S. in 1999
with its best-selling, Dove Award-winning self-titled debut for Inpop
Records, which earned a string of international #1 singles. The
song "Treasure" hit #1 on American Christian radio charts and on 5FM,
South Africa's only national mainstream radio station. In all, the
band garnered three #1 songs on 5FM, as well as a Top 10 hit on the
station with "No Words," which also claimed the #1 spot on every
Christian radio station in South Africa and the top spot on
Australia's biggest Christian radio station.
