Shout

Shout was a Christian glam metal band formed in 1987 by Ken Tamplin. The band garnered a Dove Award after their breakup in 1989. The band dissolved in 1989 due to primarily two issues: the "inability of Christian music to financially support artists" despite having sold in excess of 100,000 albums by that time, and a lawsuit over naming rights, where Tamplin was held to have the right to record under the name Shout, but an east coast band had the right to perform with it. Tamplin went on to pursue a solo career. Two compilations were issued before Tamplin reformed the band. New material was issued in their 1999 release, Shout Back.
