Artist News�Stryper�announced�the new bass player,�Perry Richardson�,�who joins original�members Michael�Sweet, Robert Sweet and Oz Fox, in�pre-production on their next album.�

The bass player position became�available following last year's highly�successful 30th Anniversary�To Hell�With The Devil Tour�, which saw�record crowds and featured Stryper’s�largest sound and lighting production�in nearly two decades. Perry�becomes only the 3rd bass player to�fill that slot in the band’s 34 year�career.�

Richardson ws a founding member of�the multi-platinum band Firehouse,�from the early 1990s. Since�

departing Firehouse, Richardson has�toured with various artists including�Trace Adkins and Craig Morgan.�

“The first time I met the guys in�Stryper was in 1985. From that first�meeting, they have always been one�of my favorite bands and a huge�influence on me personally and�musically. To have the honor of�becoming a member of Stryper�today, is an indescribable experience�for me. I am so overwhelmed I can’t�put it into words. To be asked to be a�member of one of my favorite all-�time bands is one of the greatest�honors of my career. I’m so looking�forward to being a part of this next�chapter in Stryper’s legacy. I’m ready�to rock the world with my new�brothers!”� > 3�

Derek Minor� challenges listeners not�to put up�Walls� on the very people�that Jesus willingly served, with his�latest release, featuring Urban Rescue.�

ChristianFM� has promoted weekend air talent�Eric Allen�to its daily syndicated lineup, making his show available�immediately to 24/7 affiliates and via FTP for other�individual stations. Allen, a veteran of K-Love, Air1, and�WONU/Chicago, has been doing weekends at�ChristianFM for the past year while finishing his masters�work in counseling from Huntington University. “While I�was never far from radio the last couple years, as I was�voicetracking and fundraising, the break from full-time�radio was very refreshing and healing for me (I highly�recommend it)," Allen says. "I’ll always aim to do a fun�show, but my work in counseling has been eye-opening�into what really matters to people. The hope is to do a�show that is both fun and truly meaningful for the�listener.”�
