The group has received early reviews from ChristianMusicToday.com (Rush of Fools sound considerably improved for their sophomore effort), CMCentral.com (Rush of Fools has succeeded in its transparency about the "Wonder of the World" and continually points listeners back to God, His word, His purposes, His timing and His ways), Soul-Audio.com (Throughout Wonder of the World, listeners are saturated with recurring themes of God's goodness and faithfulness while at the same time experiencing the rewards of the Christian life), HollywoodJesus.com (The Jason Ingram-produced band returns with their sophomore album, Wonder of the World, in September, proving that they are no one-hit wonders), to name a few.
These great reviews come as the group has sold close to 105,000 units in their young career and Wonder of the World has already sold eleven-thousand in just a few weeks after release. Rush of Fools has been touring non-stop promoting Wonder of the World. The group will headline their own "Wonder of the World" tour in spring 2009 with Jimmy Needham, along with specials guests Sarah Reeves and Joy Lippard.
Rush of Fools self-titled debut exploded at radio producing the Radio and Records 2007 Song of the Year with "Undo," while garnering ASCAP's Song of the Year Award for "Undo" (April 2008). The #1 single was also a featured song on CBA's top-selling WOW 2008 CD, while the record was the 2nd best selling new artist release of 2007.

01 There Is Nothing 2.mp3 Sarah Reeves - OneVerse New Artist!OneVerse new artist Sarah Reeves is joining Rush of Fools on their Wonder of the World Tour in February 2009 and will be talking about her love for the Word of God and the Bible - less people of the world. Here is a little bit more about Sarah...make sure to find her at www.myspace.com/sarahreevesmusic!
 With zealous faith and a love of music early on, Reeves first exercised her songwriting/vocal abilities as a participant in her church’s fine arts program. Consistently placing first at local as well as regional competitions, Reeves was moved by the receptiveness of young people to her message—one of power and freedom in the Holy Spirit. She has since made it her goal to serve God by leading young people into a lifestyle of worship and adoration to Him.
Brad O’Donnell, VP of A&R for EMI CMG was drawn to Sarah’s music for this reason. “I first became aware of Sarah Reeves through the artist Plumb (Tiffany Lee) and her husband Jeremy. When Jeremy played Sarah’s music for me, I was instantly impressed with the uniqueness of her voice and the strength of her writing. Then when I met with her I was struck by her authenticity as a person and her passion for her generation. You only meet a gifted artist like Sarah every once in a great while, and I am so excited that we are getting the chance to work with her.”
“Patton House is so proud to be able to represent Sarah,” says Patton. “She brings such a fresh perspective on worship to the church at large, and we look forward to being able to carry out her dreams and calling with her. Sarah’s heart for authentic worship, and her strength as a corporate worship leader is something that I’ve not seen in an artist this early in their career. She truly radiates Jesus to all she meets.”
The result is a label contract and release of Reeves’ national debut, Sweet Sweet Sound will be available on April 21, 2009. The project’s first single “Sweet, Sweet Sound,” however, will be available at iTunes beginning January 27, 2009.
