Thousand Foot Krutch's "Untraveled Road" Tops the Charts

Ontario Canada-bred Thousand Foot Krutch's brand new single "Untraveled Road," not only topped SiriusXM Octane's Big Uns Countdown for two non-consecutive weeks, but for the first time in seven years, launches TFK this week into the Top 20 at bothBDS Mainstream Rock (at No. 20) and Mediabase Active Rock (at No. 19) charts as the song continues to climb. "Untraveled Road" also becomes the 16th No. 1 rock hit at Christian radio (CRW), and follows the album's No. 1 hit "Born This Way."

Having already hit No. 2 on the iTunes Rock Song sales chart and racking up more than 1.2 million views and 10,800 likes on YouTube, "Untraveled Road" has further been embraced by the sports entertainment world to fire-up faithful fans. Adopted by the NHL's Ottawa Senators as their 2014-15 anthem and used as the "pump-up" video for the Montreal Canadiens' 2014-15 season, the song was also played for the crowd April 13 at PNC Park after the Pittsburgh Pirates' Corey Hart hit a home run, helping lead his team to a home opener win against the Detroit Tigers.

"'Untraveled Road' is about not being afraid to take the first step, or be the first voice," says McNevan. "It's about having the courage to be unashamed, and the faith you need to take a step before you can see the ground. The 'untraveled road' is symbolism for being at a crossroads, and having to decide which path you're going to take. Sometimes it takes everything."

While the accolades are appreciated and encouraging, McNevan is all about taking the 'untraveled road,' not resting on past laurels. From Canada and now living in the US, McNevan is a husband, father of a two-year-old son, fitness enthusiast and mentor to upcoming bands and songwriters. You can find him giving back with a heart for underprivileged children.

Helping Alice Cooper raise funds for his Solid Rock teen center last December, McNevan also recently attended a prom for special needs kids while further crossing oceans with his TFK bandmates, bassist Joel Bruyere and drummer Steve Augustine, for a sea of fans in places as far away as Moscow, Russia.
