The Lasting Hope
The University of Indianapolis’ very own Craig Banister shines in the music video for the song “Forgetting Yesterdays” by The Lasting Hope. Banister, a freshman at UIndy, plays rhythm guitar for the band. The video is set on campus, with the band jumping about outside of the Schwitzer Student Center . The Christian rock band’s song has a Fall Out Boy feel, including strong vocals from lead vocalist Caleb Henderson. The song is substantially punk, with its demographic aimed at a younger Christian audience. The last minute of “Forgetting Yesterdays” was the most enjoyable, with perhaps a too-predictable full band vocal and the band members hugging in the video. The song’s message is clear and goes along with the message of “blasting glory to our Lord Jesus Christ.” Other band members include Logan Oakes, Logan Trowbridge, Eryn West and Josiah Crowley. The band’s first full-length CD, “Closer Than Before,” was released on Dec. 30.
