During this year’s Purple Door festival, inReview caught up with Pillar for a few minutes aboard their air-conditioned tour bus. (A much appreciated break from the weekend’s heat). As we heard the female-fronted band, The Pledge, take the stage behind us, we were able to delve into the minds of the four band members and pick their brains about the past tour, new members, and an upcoming CD release.

Later that night we witnessed the crowd intensify as Pillar began their set. With such a great live show and dedicated fans, only greater things could possibly be in store for this hard rock act. Listen in on what they had to share, and be sure to pick up their new album when it drops on September 22nd, 2009.

Pillar's first Grammy nomination (Best Rock or Pop Gospel Album for The Reckoning) led them to attend the 50th Annual awards ceremony in Los Angeles on February 10th. They did not walk away with an award, but upon arrival to the GRAMMY red carpet, Pillar interviewed with numerous media outlets, including: Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, XM Satellite Radio, Entertainment Tonight and Inside Edition, among others. Later, the band hung out at the SONY BMG Music Entertainment After-Grammy party. Pictured here is Pillar's lead singer, Rob Beckley, hanging out with Chris Daughtry.
