At Kentucky Christian College, A-180 quickly made a name for itself locally as an old-school Christian rock band... The school was booking them nearly every weekend and the group recorded two albums while at the college.  Then Bob Herdman came along and offered a few songs he had written ("My God" and "DC-10") and asked the guys to write the music.  Bob then offered up part of the money he had from his army college bill to pay for studio time to record the songs.  "My God" was originally recorded for $800 (under the band name Bob had come up with a few years back: "Audio Adrenaline") and sent out to radio stations on a compilation cd.  Before long, "My God" reached number five on the hard rock charts and had caught the attention of ForeFront Records.  ForeFront President, Dan Brock, called the band and offered them a record deal based on that one song.  The catch?   Brock wanted to offer the deal to "Audio Adrenaline", which really wasn't a band at the time.  However, about three months later, the offer was still on the table and the group decided that this was the ministry God was calling them to do.  So Bob joined the band and Mark's brother, David, left to focus on his new family.  Audio Adrenaline moved to Nashville to begin their new career.
