Stryper - 25th Anniversary Tour

I wasn't old enough to appreciate Stryper 25 years ago. As a 7 year old, my parents approved Carman, Smitty and Amy Grant for me, but were still struggling with Petra, never mind Stryper. But now all of us children of the 80's have a chance to see Stryper again as they have a couple of New England dates scheduled to celebrate their brand of metal in all of it's long-haired glory.

And now, shortly after their SoulFest performance, Manic Drive is scheduled to open for Stryper on the tour. Manic Drive is one of Canada's most popular Christian bands and has earned a record seven GMA Canada Covenant Award nominations this year, taking home two awards for Rock Album of the Year and Video of the Year. The music video for “Blue” climbed to #2 on Gospel Music Channel's rock video chart.
