Making a band, finding a voice, and discovering the perfect song with Daniel Smith, John Montgomery, Wyatt Lenhart, and Shannon Hutchinson.

ELECTRIC JESUS composer Daniel Smith walks us through the making of a band—his own alt-rock family band Danielson, and the made-for-movie Christian hair metal band 316. Then, we dig in to the song that best captured the emotion core of the film for writer-director Chris White: 'Don't Toss Us Away,' which was first recorded by Lone Justice in 1985.

Co-hosted by ELECTRIC JESUS writer-director Chris White and Music Supervisor/CCM Historian John J. Thompson, and featuring composer Daniel Smith, Season 1 - Electric Jesus: The Music Behind the Movie explores the world of 1980s Christian rock music with an eye toward the creation of the film’s unforgettable original songs and score, the power of nostalgia, Evangelical youth group culture, and the Christian rock songs and artists that appear in the movie, ELECTRIC JESUS.
