(Nashville, Tenn.) January 11th, 2006 - Modern rock group Mainstay will unveil their major label debut Well Meaning Fiction on BEC Recordings this February 21st.

Well Meaning Fiction includes 10 songs, most of which were penned by lead singer Justin Anderson with additional songwriting by band mate Ryan DeYounge. Producer credits on the album go to Aaron Sprinkle (Kutless, Pedro the Lion, Anberlin) and Zach Hodges.

"The theme of the record is really a wake-up call to evaluate what our faith should look like as we live here in America," says Anderson. "My hope is that it turns some heads and ears, but does so in a humble manner - because the writing of this record comes from a broken heart over my own sin and shortcomings, not arrogance or superiority."

In support of their debut, Mainstay will join Sanctus Real and The Afters on a 40-city nationwide tour in February and then again in April- May. The band recently joined John Reuben and Falling Up on a 30-city tour, as well as performing four dates as part of the "See Spot Rock 2006" tour featuring Pillar. On the radio front, the first single "Take Away" is currently going for adds at the CHR Rock format.

Fronted by Justin Anderson, the Minneapolis-based trio is rounded out by Ryan DeYounge on drums and Dan Ostebo on bass. Mainstay, originally a punk band practicing out of a garage, refined their sound throughout five years time. The band went on to record an EP on their own, which eventually amassed a grassroots following and record label interest.
