Disciple was formed in 1992 by friends Kevin Young, Brad Noah, Tim Barrett, and Adrian DiTommasi (who would leave the band shortly after inception) in an attempt to spread the gospel while playing the loud, metallic music they loved. Over the years, their style evolved into one similar to many secular alternative metal groups, as they toured churches, high schools, colleges, and similar venues. Their self-released debut, What Was I Thinking, came out in 1995, followed by an EP, My Daddy Can Whip Your Daddy, on Warner Resound in 1997. Their sophomore full-length effort, This Might Sting a Little Bit, followed two years later on Rugged Records. By God followed in 2001 on the same label.
2003's Back Again found the band on a new label, their own independent Slain Records. That year, the trio became a quartet with the addition of bassist Joey Fife to their lineup. The group signed with INO Records the following year and released a self-titled LP in June of 2005. Scars Remain arrived on Integrity in late 2006. After years of nominations, the album won the band their first Dove Award for Rock Album of the Year.
In 2008, Noah and Fife stepped down from the band and their spots were filled by bassist Israel Beachy and guitarists Andrew Welch and Micah Sannan. Southern Hospitality arrived later that year. Before their next release, founding drummer Tim Barrett would also part ways with Disciple, replaced by Trent Reiff. Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, Disciple's eighth LP, came out in April 2010. It topped the Christian chart and entered the Billboard Top 50. As the band's popularity grew, they embarked on a handful of tours with other top Christian acts like Thousand Foot Krutch and Skillet.
2012 saw the release of O God Save Us All, as well as a flurry of lineup changes. After four years with Disciple, Welch left the band to join Thousand Foot Krutch, while Sannan and Beachy were replaced by Josiah Prince (Philmont) and Jason Wilkes (High Flight Society). By early 2013, Reiff exited and was replaced by Joey West. Andrew Stanton also joined the band, leaving Young as the only original member.
The refreshed quintet forged ahead with the crowdfunded release of 2014's Attack, which became their highest Billboard 200 entry to date, peaking at number 44. Produced by longtime Disciple producer Travis Wyrick, Attack also rose to the number two spots on the Hard Rock and Christian charts. It would be the first and last album with Wilkes on bass, who left the band the next year. Vultures, a six-song EP recorded during the Attack sessions, was released at the end of 2015. Another EP, Live in Denmark, arrived the following year, accompanied by a series of concert videos from Denmark's RiverFest.
The band -- now a quartet -- issued another crowdfunded effort in 2016. Their 11th album, Long Live the Rebels, debuted at number 125, making it the group's sixth Billboard 200 entry to date. After signing with the Tooth & Nail label at the end of 2018, Disciple released their 12th full-length, Love Letter Kill Shot, in September 2019.

Radical
Disciple Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Till day I die
Till the day I die I'll be a Radical
It's easy too find one that will compromise
But it's not easy to find one that's willing to stand
But the road to hell is wide
But to haven it's one way it's one truth it's one life
That's why we're not ashamed of the name of Jesus
From our chains he has set us free
And I could never repay what he has given to me
I've been radically loved
I've been radically changed
By his grace I have been radically saved
And I'll live my life no other way
With my hart with my soul
Till the day I die I'll be a Radical
With my blood with my bones
It's easy to find someone that's willing to die
But it's not easy find someone that's willing to live
I want to walk in his footsteps even if the world hates me
Ready to love and not afraid to forgive
Never ashamed of the name of Jesus
And yeah we want the whole world to see us
See He's burning in our harts
Offering mercy with outstretched arms
Not just my mouth but let my hands speak the glory of God
Not just my mouth but let my hands speak the glory of God
The song Radical by Disciple is an anthem of devotion to Christ, standing firm in one's faith and proclaiming it boldly despite the potential backlash from the world. The singer declares that he will remain a radical for Christ until the day he dies, not compromising his beliefs or principles even when it is difficult. The road to destruction may be wide, but the path to heaven is narrow and requires a commitment to following Jesus Christ as the one and only way, truth and life. The singer is unashamed of proclaiming the name of Jesus, and he does not care what the world may think of him or his faith. He has been transformed by the radical love and grace of Christ, and he wants to live his life in a way that honors and glorifies God.
The lyrics are a call to action for Christians to live their lives in a radical way, following in the footsteps of Jesus, offering mercy and forgiveness to those around us, and sharing the Gospel message with the world. It is a reminder that being a Christian requires more than just words – our lives must reflect the glory of God and the transformative power of the Gospel. The song encourages listeners to be willing to stand up for their faith, to love radically, forgive freely, and to never be ashamed of the name of Jesus.

Not just my mouth but let my hands speak the glory of God
I want my actions to reflect the glory and love of God, not just my words

Just saw this band for the first time at the Pensacola Beach Beach Fest. I’ve been to over a hundred Christian concerts and I must say, this group’s talent is incredible! But the best part (by far) is the fact that their message is spot-on! Thank you, Disciple, for not being ashamed of Jesus and not serving up a watered-down version of the gospel. You remind me of WhiteCross. Right in the middle of their concert, I once saw them stop and give an altar call and many people came forward for salvation! Rock on!

@Teresa Marshall true! And at Winterjam 2023 they had an extra guitarist. They blew everyone away and were the most requested band by Winterjam fans. From what I’ve heard…they don’t just sing about Jesus…they live the life! Sooooo sick of groups that use Christian music as a means to get popular (aka Katy Perry). But these guys seem to be ok fire for God.
