Audio Adrenaline- Kevin Max: Fashion and Dance [Watch Video]

Audio Adrenaline released their latest Beliefnet Episode (# 10) on Youtube today, June 28, which featured lead vocalist for the band, Kevin Max, and two of his interesting hobbies, fashion and dance.

"You know, honestly, if you were to go into my wardrobe you would see a lot of things that aren't in an everyday male wardrobe," Max said. "I don't wear dresses, but I do have a lot of interesting hats, a lot of interesting coats, certainly a very interesting trouser selection."

His fellow band members have noted his interesting fashion choices and style as well. "He tries to be rebellious in a kind of hip and cool way, his shoes have skulls on them but they're like penny-loafer style waxed shoes, and then he wears this pirate hat around and these cool scarves and stuff, so he's funny," said Will McGinniss, bass guitar player and vocalist for Audio Adrenaline.

In addition, Max says he's a dance and tends to dance a lot. "I'm a modern dancer. I dance when the moment hits me and it hits me very frequently," he said.

Max used to be part of DC Talk, a Christian Hip Hop trio in the 90s. "Well you know, back in the day, he had to do the dancing in the DC T, so he was throwing down the dance moves, and he'll kick into a few of those at a show here or there, and it just busts all of us up from the laughter," McGinniss said. "So he's still got it, but it's awkward."

For Max, dance is all about feeling the music rather than learning a specific kind of dance." I aspire to modern dancing because I'm not a big believer in taking classes and trying to learn the standard movements," he said. "When I see old Michael Jackson videos, I relate to that, when I see Ian Curtis videos, you know, I relate to that. Whenever I watch, whoever it may be, Adam Anth or Bono, I relate to that, but when I see Fred Astaire it just doesn't do it for me."

He says that he hopes to bring back to two-footed 'hop,' a dance move that he feels doesn't get used all that often nowadays. "I'm into 'the hop,' 'the hop' is underrated, I might want to go back to 'the hop' too," Max said. "You gotta go with the moment and it's primal, you know, it's a primal thing. You're feeling it in the moment and you do it, you just don't worry about what other people are thinking and how it might make you look."

The video is followed by a message from Mark Stuart, guitarist for the band, asking fans to look into the Hands And Feet Project, of which he is executive director. Audio Adrenaline is very involved in the Hands And Feet Project and have organized a campaign, called 'The Kings & Queens Capital Campaign,' in which they raised $250,000 in order to build a home for 100 orphaned and abandoned children in southern Haiti.

Audio Adrenaline has been recording new Beliefnet episodes since Fall of 2012. The first episode, 'Prologue 1: The Ballad of Mark Stuart,' explains the heartbreaking story of how Stuart lost his voice to Spasmodic Dysphonia in 1996, a complete game-changer for his music career and test of his faith.
