Forrest Frank officially ushers in a bold new chapter today with the release of Dawn Patrol, the debut album from his new duo Party Wave, alongside Noah Hayden.
Released via River House Records, the project marks a creative shift for Frank, blending his signature melodic instincts with a more laid-back, "sun-soaked" sonic palette. The album captures themes of faith, surrender, and everyday encounters with God through a sound that feels both intimate and unfiltered.
Formerly known as "Dawn Patrol," the duo quickly rebranded after discovering a naming conflict, inviting fans into the process with a $10,000 challenge to help rename the project. The result-Party Wave-reflects both their relaxed musical style and their desire to build something rooted in community and authenticity.
The album is led by the debut single "SOS," which has already made an impact on Christian music charts, introducing listeners to the duo's signature blend of honest lyricism and mellow production. A follow-up track, "Waste Some Time," continues to build momentum as the group steps into its debut era.
Frank, who first rose to prominence as part of Surfaces, has become one of the most influential voices in contemporary Christian music in recent years, with charting hits and award-winning releases. His partnership with Hayden-formerly of Mission Six-emerged organically through prior collaborations and was solidified during the 2026 Jesus Generation Tour.
With Dawn Patrol, Party Wave positions itself as a fresh and compelling voice in the CCM space, offering listeners a soundscape shaped by reflection, connection, and a shared pursuit of faith.
