There Is Now A Skillet Video Game
You know you’ve hit the big time as a rock band when they make a video game about you.
A generation ago, the mainstream band Journey had a video game named after them called “Journey Escape”, for play on the Atari 2600 video game system, released in 1982.
A number of other mainstream bands have had video games themed after them in the meantime.
And as we fast forward to 2020, the band that is on the top of the heap of Christian rock bands has a video game of their own called “Save Me”, themed with the band’s latest rock track and music video of the same name.
In the game, John, Korey, Jen and Seth are characters that fans can select and play as.
Once a character is selected, the characters run through a maze where players are meant to avoid various aspects seen in the “Save Me” music video: the hand (callout to John’s scene), water/poison (callout to Jen’s scene), and fire (callout to John’s scene/smoking hands burning his eyes), which will be floating around chasing them; similar to the ghosts in Pac Man.
If you want to give the game a try, go here:

Remedy Drive’s David Zach Talks About The Fight Against Human Trafficking At The U.S. Capitol
What was Remedy Drive’s David Zach doing at the U.S Capitol this week? He was speaking to over 200 members of Congress about human trafficking and the band’s fight against it, in partnership with Safe House Project.
“We were honored to have David join Safe House Project at the Capitol and visiting offices of more than 200 members of Congress as we activated cultural leaders, corporations and communities to unite against child sex trafficking in America,” said Safe House Project CEO Kristi Wells. “David is the embodiment of ‘freedom requires action,’ and we value his deep understanding of this issue that has been learned in the trenches in the fight for freedom. In his undercover work he has seen the horrors of trafficking and uses his art to impact culture and affect change. We have already seen national impact from this event. David was part of a spark that has ignited a wildfire to once again burn the flame for freedom in our country.”
