Stryper, originally known as Roxx Regime, was formed in Orange
County, California by brothers Michael and Robert Sweet and guitarist
Oz Fox.
Stryper stands for Salvation Through Redemption Yielding Peace,
Encouragement and Righteousness. The Isaiah 53:5 under their logo
is the bible verse that states "by His stripes we are healed".
The band earned their stripes on the Los Angeles metal club circuit
and in 1984, after recruiting bass player Tim Gaines, signed with
Enigma Records and released their debut mini-album, The Yellow And
Black Attack (Y&BA).
Their first full-length release, Soldiers Under Command (SUC),
sold over half a million units worldwide in the eighties, and stayed
on Billboard's Top 200 album chart for over forty weeks. In addition
to the hard-rocking tunes that Stryper's core audience has come
to expect, the ballad "Honestly" from their platinum selling
1986 release To Hell With The Devil (THWTD) hit the Top-40 charts.
The video for "Honestly" rapidly became the number one
most-requested video on M-TV. 1988 saw the near-platinum release
of In God We Trust (IGWT), as well as renewed success on M-TV, which
was bombarded by thousands of phone requests for "Always There
For You".
On March 25th of 2003, Hollywood Records released Seven, The Best
Of Stryper that included 2 new songs (Something and For You). That
fall, they embarked on a 35 city tour that both fans and critics
agreed was one of the hottest tours of 2003.
In March of 2004, Stryper triumphantly returned to Puerto Rico
to play a sold out show that was recorded for a DVD release scheduled
to come out later in the year. The prayers of Stryper fan everywhere
were answered in May of 2003 with the new live CD recording titled
7 Weeks: Live In America.
