New Petra Track in Making?

on Tue, 03/26/2013 - 20:29

John Schlitt and Bob Hartman of Petra hit the demo studios at Capitol Christian Distribution March 22 to work on the planned new Petra single 'Still Thirsty'.

If all goes to plan, 'Still Thirsty' will be included on the forthcoming 'Best-of' compilation 40th Anniversary, to be released on Capitol June 18th.

It is a very tight schedule to be able to make that release date, so we can't promise 'Still Thirsty' will be ready in time, but the band encourages you to follow their progress here and on Facebook!
