About a Mile has the bestselling album debut in their genre for a new artist this year, and hit No. 4 on iTunes' Christian/Gospel album chart. It has been said that Jesus carried the Cross for about a mile before he was crucified. This is where the band's name is derived. About a Mile is a trio of brothers comprising of Adam, Levi and Luke Klutinoty.

Just like Jesus, About a Mile's lead singer Adam Klutinoty has had his cross to carry in the making of this album. Right after the trio signed their contract with Word Records, Adam Klutinoty became seriously ill. He couldn't eat or sleep for days without end. As a result, he lost over 60 pounds and there were six specific times Klutinoty thought he was about to die. Instead of resigning to despair, Klutinoty invested his experiences into the penning of these songs. Thus, what you will find on this debut album are songs that are by no means sugar coated. Rather, there's a stark and blatant honesty to these 12 songs as Klutinoty shares about how God has sustained him through his sufferings.

Helmed by producer Ian Eskelin (Hawk Nelson, Sidewalk Prophets, Francesca Battistelli) and Howard Benson (Skillet, Flyleaf, Daughtry), About a Mile's debut is a polished pop-rock effort with lots of big infectious hooks and rollicking grooves.
