The Robbie Seay Band follows up the critically acclaimed Better Days with a fresh set of contemporary rock and edgy worship creations, overflowing with lyrics of hope and unity in Christ. This twelve track offering includes the hit single "Song of Hope" plus "Love Wins," "Shine Your Light On Us," and others.

The new Robbie Seay Band record, Give Yourself Away, follows the strong showing of 2005’s Better Days, in fact, proving that better days were ahead. The band’s sound gets an aggressive punch up here, surely in part to working with producer Tedd T. (Mute Math, Delirious), while holding enough to its own roots rock trademark to be distinct and make traces of David Crowder Band (“Song of Hope”) or Mute Math (“Stay”) seem minimal. These dozen songs offer straight rock (“Starting Over”), more atmospheric piano (“Can’t Go Back”) and blazing worship (“Shine Your Light in Us”). The band accomplishes its cover of “Beautiful Scandalous Night” in a basic alt-rock fashion and has a catchy pop tune in “New Day.”

Robbie Seay Band creates more than standard worship within musical art here. Challenged to live life generously, the band pours that notion into the songs. A clear call to action to give to the world’s needy appears in “Rise” and “Go Outside,” while the focus of God’s nature in songs like “Eternal One” also point to giving one’s self up to God. Songs on second chances, tragedy and nature’s beauty move beyond typical worship songs and become ways to celebrate God in the open spaces of the world.
