Fight the Tide

Fight the Tide is the second studio album from Christian rock band Sanctus Real, and was released on June 15, 2004 under Sparrow Records.

Fight the Tide won a GMA Dove Award for Modern Rock Album of the Year in 2005[5] and was generally well received by music critics.

"[7] In February 2004, Sanctus Real returned to the studio to record their second album,[8] and nearly all of the tracks were written in the previous month.

[6] Due to the constant guitar playing, especially during the second half of their recording time, guitarist Chris Rohman tried putting nail polish on his fingertips because they felt so raw.

[6] Tedd T served as producer for Fight the Tide;[9] it was recorded and mixed at Antenna Studios in Brentwood, Tennessee.

The song eventually reached #1 on R&R magazine's Christian rock chart in September, and held the position for six consecutive weeks.
