Artist:Fighter
Song:Look Me in the Eye
Album:The Waiting
Fighter was a hard rock CCM band looking to mine the same territory as Petra. They had potential but were ultimately unsuccessful. The 1991 album The Waiting was the first of two albums. Fighter was from Cedar Rapids, IA. Amy Wolter was lead singer and she wrote most of the songs with drummer Sean Murphy. Amy's husband Jim Wolter played bass. Other members were Mark Pence on keyboards and Billy Heller on guitar. They signed with Word's Wonderland label for the 1991 album The Waiting. The album was produced by Wonderland house producer Caesat Kalinowski. There was a video for Look Me in the Eye. Fighter's sound is similar to secular bands like REO Speedwagon. But Word wasn't good at promoting outside the Christian market. Fighter was through after two albums. Amy recorded a 1994 album for another Word label WAL. For years The Waiting was a hot item on the collector's market. But Fighter released both albums in 2019 along with an album of demos. I think they were doing shows. But Sean Murphy died recently. I don't know if they will continue. Here's the video for Look Me in the Eye by Fighter.
