Who is Overtaken?
When you compile Alternative guitars with abstract Hip Hop and R & B beats, orchestral strings, pop/rock vocals, and thought-provoking lyrics, you get “Overtaken.” Materialized in 2004 just outside of Baltimore, Maryland, “Overtaken” is a sibling Pop/Alternative group delivering to you with every song heart-felt music and Christ-centered lyrics.
In their first year alone, Overtaken received 131,956 hits (2,146 unique users) on their official website (www.overtakenmusic.com), 2387 friends on myspace.com, 52 events booked (including a 30 minute set for indieheaven.com’s national Will Play For Change Tour), a 30 minute opening set for Christian music legends “Jars of Clay,” and entered a regional competition in Nashville, Tennessee. Their e-profiles are currently available on over 16 websites worldwide including their e-profile with the Gospel Music Association (GMA).
With a devotion to labor and a fragrance of passion, Overtaken engages your heart through music you “feel” and lyrics you “see.”
“The goal, purpose, and passion of
‘Overtaken’ is to change the hearts we
encounter on or off the stage, and to be their words
when theirs are lost. ”
-Overtaken, 2005
"Passion, purpose, and
outmost devotion, the fusion that keeps
our Message growing.”
