The 1992 double single from Thee Crusaders.

Originally released as two 7" singles, Thee Crusaders sees everyone's favourite christian hymns given the face-melting rock treatment by members of the New Pornographers, Zumpano and the Gay. As strange and classic as they come--a must have for any Canadian indie rock aficionados. This album was digitally converted by the Zunior team from the original 45 rpm vinyl record--Rare music available only at Zunior!

"Early amazing 1992 effort from this all star band led by New Pornographers leader (and Zumpano, Superconductor) and vocalist Carl Newman. Thee Crusaders belted out spiritedly ragged guitar pop versions of childhood Christian campfire songs. New Pornographers keyboardist Blaine Thurier was also in Thee Crusaders, as was Vancouver Nights/Kreviss/The Gay singer/keyboardist Sara Lapsley, as was Good Horsey/Capozzi Park leader and solo artist Mark Szabo, as was Destroyer/Battles drummer Scott Morgan (aka Kranky recording artist Loscil). Can you say supergroup way ahead of their time? A classic and overlooked piece of Vancouver and Canadian pop history? Featuring a one off guitar solo from Carl Newman on Humble Yourself that I will proudly say is near genius. Thoroughly wacked and wonderful." - Scratch
