Sound Screen Episode 310: Interview with Juno Award-Nominees, Collect.Assembly

This podcast episode was recorded a few days before the 2026 Juno Awards.  History would inform us that early Christianity was disruptive. It was a radical, thought-provoking, bold, and aggressive movement made up of a band of common folk who challenged the status quo and eventually changed the course of human history. Christians then were rebels and provocateurs who used unconventional methods to get their message across, never afraid of the consequences as long as were of service to their faith.  A group of devout Christian musicians from Canada called Collect.Assembly have taken the same approach and completely rocked the Christian music world to its core with, not just their ground-breaking sounds, but also their flamboyant personas that are in full display whenever they take the stage. And while their spicy and tangy take on Christian music have made it extra harder for them to be accepted into the fold, their hard work and perseverance are starting to pay off with no less than a nomination to Canada’s biggest music award, the Juno. Now, this band’s norm-shattering music is available for licensing through APM Music.
