38th Parallel (band)
38th Parallel is a Christian rock/hip hop band formed in Ames, Iowa. Before being signed they received extensive airplay in Iowa markets alongside other CCM Artists. Unknown to them, they were entered into a talent search contest for Christian music giant Word Records. They rejected a contract offer in order to reach a more mainstream market, instead signing with Squint Entertainment.
Their name is a play on the 38th parallel north, which divides North Korea from South Korea. Their first album, Turn The Tides, was released in 2002. Their most famous song is "Horizon."
Following the disbandment of 38th Parallel, Nate Rippke formed the classic rock band Sons of the Republic. They reformed in 2005 and independently released their second album, Untitled.
