Hey guys, I recently started leading worship on Wed. nights for a youth group. Me and the guys I play with are pretty much stuck on Hillsong right now. Mighty to Save, Devotion, and You Never Let Me Go are so awesome. I'm looking for more artists to listen to and pick up some of their stuff. Any recommendations? We really like Hillsong's sound so something along or near those lines would be great. I just got Jeremy Riddle's newest off of iTunes. Seems pretty good so far. Thanks for the help!

Kutless used to be played at the youth i used to go to. I really like "Strong Tower" (the album). It's a worship one, brings the old songs i've never heard before into a new soft rock-style.
Perhaps also Matt Redman. I'm not sure how popular he is with youth where you live, but where i am we like his songs.. some more than others. Perhaps the albums "blessed be your name" or "facedown".
Another artist popular with some youth (not me personally, but there are some good lyrics), is Brooke Fraser.
