www.apprehendedones.com is now the official website to inform the entire world that there's a new band on the block and it's called Apprehended Ones. The band is also a ministry and it's main function is to "go" and "spread the good news", while maintaining a solid and powerful punch for the Kingdom. This band is loaded with talent and features national recording artist from Roanoke Virgina, Jimmy Stiff, former lead guitarist for the rock group Jackyl. Also from the Carolinas are his wife Jewel Renee' Stiff/lead vocals, Christian Muncy/bass and Patrick Johnson from Seattle on drums.
This unit was assembled by the Lord Himself because none of these members were really out looking for a project in 2010. It just sort of came together out of the blue and is now growing like a storm front out of control. But, God is in control and as long as these musical ministers keep seeking to please Him first the sky is the limit as to how far they'll end up going to share the gospel with a heavenly metal twang of praise and warfare music. A powerful testimony scripture slinging message has started defeating enemy strongholds in the name of Jesus and this 21st century prophetic deliverance battle has only just begun.
Stiff believes we serve a mighty and powerful God, therefore it's only appropriate to proclaim His name with powerful and mighty music. Metal Southern Gospel is one phrase that's been used to describe this band. But when you take country and heavy metal influences and combine them with touring rock musicians and seasoned worship leaders, you end up with a very unique mix of warfare and worship music on a concert level indeed. So far they have made footprints from South Carolina to South Africa, Mexico, to Washington state, and now this awesome humble rumble quartet is about to come marching into your town to impact and apprehend everyone in their path who will listen.
R U 1 of the Ones? 

Saturday April 7th was a suprise performannce by the band which got a last minute call to cover a cancellation for the Bikers for Christ in Fountain Inn, SC. Apprehended Ones were rehearsing at their home church and had to tear down for the Easter Sunday services so they stuffed the practice gear in a van and just went and did it. What a spontaneous evening it was and the Bikers for Christ Awakening Service came alive indeed. Great time for all and by the time the sun went down Apprehended Ones were loaded up and headed home for the family time ahead and a Sunrise service also. Special thanks to Pastor Brandon for calling, it was a blessing and an awakening for everyone involved!
It's official, Northeast GA has been hit with a dose of Apprehended Ones. It was March 11th 2012 at the Lavonia Gospel Explosion in Lavonia, GA and what a great time it was. There was a full mass choir then several solo artists sang some beautiful songs and then while Evangelist Diane Lay brought the message, Apprehended Ones rolled in the gear and played a set of MSG (Metal Southern Gospel). The folks at New Beginnings Ministries loved every minute along with the full capacity crowd as well as the Apprehended fans that rolled in from SC. Rock on Lavonia, GA! The 1's will be back soon...
The Chrome Drive Live stage at Harley Davidson of Greenville SC was the kick off gig for the Tour O'twelve! It was chilly & windy that day but the band rocked as well as the concert helped raise 11 of 16 thousand dollars for the Kenzlie Gallion Foundation. Every one who participated was blessed with a full day of events and raffle prizes + a live auction of some cool stuff signed by the band such as a guitar and some tour shirts. Though the weather was sunny, the cool steady wind pounded all day, but it didn't keep almost 70 bikers from participating in the benefit ride from Easley to Greenville where Apprehended Ones gave a free concert to help the overall benefit efforts. You can still help support this cause by donating to the foundation page above on FaceBook or the donate button here on the contact page. Rock ON!
On Dec. 4th '11 the band finished up its travels for the year at Freedom Biker Church of Asheville and took the holidays off to spend with family.

Opening for DecembeRadio at the Upstate Youth Rally 2011 @ Pickens Football Stadium was a blast. On Oct 15th during our set we had 2 baptisms & 17 decisions that night overall. Nikita Koloff spoke a very powerful "Apprehending" message indeed and jamming with Preachers Wife once again was great!
Yes for the 1st time in 12 years Tom Bettini & Jimmy Stiff, both formerly members of Jackyl took the same stage together. The name of the venue was also appropriate for this reunion. 
Great to be a part of the Allison Music Festival just south of Charlotte in beautiful York, SC. at a very historical site. Sept. 10 2011 marked the festival's 10th anniversary and Apprehended Ones got to rock the outdoor stage with some MSG. Metal Southern Gospel that is. We hope to see y'all again next year indeed. 

Great time at the Warehouse Church~ The benefit for Roger Nelson yielded over $1500.00. We were so blessed to be a part of it!
