The story of Citizens begins at Mars Hill Church, which is also one of the band’s record labels in addition to being their home church. The bandleader, Zach Bolen, served as the worship leader and an elder at Mars Hill until he resigned in 2014.

Following critical and commercial success with their debut LP, Citizens, Citizens released Join the Triumph in 2014. Immediately, the band makes a departure from Citizens by incorporating more synthesizers and electronic sounds. Join the Triumph peaked at the #9 spot on Top Heatseekers. Themes off the album include redemption, grace, and celebration. Fans of contemporary worship will appreciate Join the Triumph for its high energy, positive themes, and most importantly, it’s zesty, synth-pop take on old standards.
