Audio Adrenaline Says 'Adios'
After 18 No. 1 singles and over 3 million albums sold, legendary Christian rock band Audio Adrenaline is bidding farewell to the music industry and their fans with plans to release their final studio project.
After 18 No. 1 singles and over 3 million albums sold, legendary Christian rock band Audio Adrenaline is bidding farewell to the music industry and their fans with plans to release their final studio project, the candidly titled Adios, later this year.
According to a statement released by Hoganson Media, the band’s decision to call it quits comes as a result of “ongoing vocal challenges” experienced by Audio-A frontman Mark Stuart, something that the singer says he doesn’t regret.
“Fifteen years of rock ‘n’ roll takes a toll on the vocal chords, but I wouldn’t trade a day of it for anything,” says Stuart. “Touring and making records with Will, Ben and Tyler has truly been a gift from God, as well as worshiping night after night with the greatest fans on the planet.”

"As one of the most successful and longest running bands in Christian music, Audio Adrenaline has made tremendous impact in the lives of their loyal listeners," says Peter York, EMI CMG Label Group president. "They have also been a strong influence and positive role model for many of today's emerging bands. It has been EMI CMG's privilege to partner with Audio Adrenaline and to support their music and ministry throughout their entire career."
The group’s tenth studio album, Adios will feature Audio-A’s greatest hits along with two newly recorded songs. A special edition package of the CD is slated to include a DVD containing all of Audio Adrenaline’s music videos, live performance footage, and exclusive interviews with the band and their fellow artists including MercyMe, Newsboys, and Steven Curtis Chapman, with each sharing about their favorite memories and experiences with Audio-A.
“The plans emerging for Adios promise to deliver a fun and poignant experience in which Audio Adrenaline fans can participate,” says York. “The legacy of Audio Adrenaline is one that will continue to make impact for many years to come.”
A promotional tour for Adios is already in the works for Audio-A, with the band scheduled to hit markets across the nation as well as this year’s major summer festivals.
“Audio Adrenaline has been a favorite over the years and remains one of our top concert draws,” says Tim Landis, producer of Creation Festival, which featured Audio A as a headliner last year. “On the cutting edge musically, the band found their audience early and became a consistent headliner for Creation Festival. We are excited about having them one last time this summer, as it’s sure to be a memorable experience in this band’s remarkable history. Audio-A is truly one of the great band’s of our day.”
