The sounds coming out of Portland, Ore. are raw, authentic and current, and newcomers His Legacy are leading the way.

The quartet -- which originally began playing together for youth group services -- has translated their love of worship out of the church service and into passionate, accessible rock music.

Andrew Serino plays electric guitar and provides the band's signature soaring tenor vocals. Brennan Dryer generates ethereal lead guitar riffs, Dustin Moore provides the foundation with the bass, and Seth Zimmerman holds down the beats.

Influenced by bands such as Underoath, Anberlin, Paramore, Norma Jean and My Epic, His Legacy's debut project, the Not Ours EP, provides a stunning, quality introduction to these new up-and-comers out of the Pacific Northwest.
