Info:
One of Canada's most prolific entries in the Christian rock scene, Quickflight began in the late '70s around Kelowna natives keyboardist Ric deGroot and guitarists Pete Cordalis and Mike King, Doug Giesbrecht on bass, and drummer Gary Hendricks.
They played the BC interior and graduated to the Vancouver scene while writing some material, when Bob Brooks of Signature Productions approached them to be their manager. They soon scored a recording deal with Washington State-based Tunesmith Records and booked some time at Little Mountain Studios in Vancouver. With Ron Obvious assisting on production, whose credits before and after included the likes of DOA, Sinny Puppy, KD Lang, and Loverboy, among others, their debut album was released in the summer of 1980. BREAKAWAY quickly caught critics' and the audiences' attentions. Musically, they were compared to The Cars, lyrically - Stryper, blending keyboard-driven, new wave/pop music with messages that were honest and clean.
