-The Lifesavors were an early Christian pogo punk/new wave band that formed in 1980. According to the liner notes to [[Undercover]]'s //Volume 1// compilation, The Lifesavors were formed by Chris Wimber (the son of Vineyard founder John Wimber) and Ray Hersom. Their first concert as The Lifesavors was at a roller skating rink in Yorba Linda sometime late in 1980. [[Undercover]] and a band called [[The Chosen Ones]] also played at the concert. It is unknown at what point [[Mark Krishchak]] joined the bandbut a live demo called //3-14-81 Live// (recorded at a church in Downey, CA) contains at least one song credited to [[Mark Krishchak|Krishchak]] on a later album. [[Mark Krishchak|Krishchak]] served as the early leader of the band performing as lead vocalist, primary songwriter, and lead guitarist. In early 1981, The Lifesavors and [[Undercover]] were both asked to release albums through the [[Ministry Resource Center]] (MRC) label. By the time The Lifesavors released their debut full length album //Us Kids//, Hersom was not in the band and two new members were listedJoining bass guitarist Wimber and lead vocalist / guitarist [[Mark Krishchak|Krishchak]] were Kevin Lee Annis (brother of [[Mike Stand]] of the [[Altar Boys]]) on drums and [[Michael Knott]] on rhythm guitars. [[Michael Knott|Knott]] has later stated that he was about 16 or 17 years old at this time. [[Michael Knott|Knott]]'s involvement with The Lifesavors on //Us Kids// was minimal at the most. According to Kevin Sorrells, "[[Michael Knott|Mike]] stepped in the middle of the recording.

 [[Michael Knott|Knott]] described the band's early sound as "psuedo punk rock songs." Many outlets refer to //Us Kids// as the first Christian Punk album (although //No Sham!// by the [[Bill Mason Band]] preceded it by two years). The album's producer Thom Roy refers to the sound as Power Pop. The band had its fair share of controversy in the early days, including being banned from playing at Calvary Chapels because [[Michael Knott|Knott]] would dance on stage during concerts. But the band also played local California rock clubs with other punk icons, including Darby Crash. [[Michael Knott|Knott]] described the band's early sound as "psuedo punk rock songs."

It is unknown who John and Brandon are. They also talk about recording their second album on their own label.

The full story of what happened is unknown at this time, but Kevin Sorrells had this to say at one time about internal disagreements within the band: "[[Mark Krischak|Mark]] got jealous of [[Michael Knott|Mike]] and quit after [he had] invited [[Michael Knott|Mike]] in the band in the first place.... We begged [[Mark Krischak|Mark]] not to leave. [Chris] Wimber always had to be the boss, and that caused tension. But Chris was a very creative guy [with a] strong personality and a trendsetter. I love the guy and miss him." [[Mark Krischak|Krischak]] was also known to later refer to [[Michael Knott|Knott]] on discussion boards as a "spawn of Satan" that he would never work with again.

 At some point during the recording, [[Michael Knott|Knott]] says that John Wimber told them that he wanted the band to travel around the United States planting churches. [[Michael Knott|Knott]] didn't feel led to do that, so he left the band and formed [[Idle Lovell]]. Kirk Heiner joined the band after [[Michael Knott|Knott]] left. According to Heiner, at this point they decided to re-record the vocals on //Dream Life//, with Goins singing lead vocals on about five songs and Heiner handling lead vocals on about six. [[Michael Knott|Knott]]'s background vocals were left in the mix, as well as some of his guitar work. Most songs on the //Dream Life// album are credited in part to [[Michael Knott|Knott]]. At the time of the album's release, Annis and Wimber are still listed as members, with Kirk Heiner now listed as guitarist and Brian Goins listed as the new vocalist. At some point during the recording, [[Michael Knott|Knott]] says that John Wimber told them that he wanted the band to travel around the United States planting churches.

->"The song 'Voices / Lost in the Darkness' was completely written by me. The other songs were pretty much written by [[Mark Krishchak]] but came together as a collaboration of [[Mark Krishchak|Mark]], Chris, Kevin and me. We recorded late that evening. Chris, [[Mark Krishchak|Mark]] & Kevin had all flown in earlier, but I flew in a day later than the rest because at the time I ran a business. We got to the recording studio around midnight. The building was amazing: a two story brick building with a two story waterfall in the entry. The recording room was large enough for a full orchestra. It had a new technology system of recording using glass sheets hanging in the air. Wires connected to the glass would vibrate, sending back a perfect recording of the sounds in the studio. We had a studio musician show up for the keyboard tracks. He worked for [[Refuge Records]]. I had been working on the song 'Voices' that was about all of the voices that try to influence us. Some good, some bad, some just our own thoughts. I asked the keyboard player if he had any kinda scary, haunted house type sounds in his synthesizer, so he pulled one up. When he did, it was playing through these huge speakers in the recording booth. It sounded like the devil himself came out of that keyboard - scared the crud out of all of us. I said, ‘Put that thing back’.”+>"The song 'Voices / Lost in the Darkness' was completely written by me.

-At some point between 1984 and 1986, several changes occurred: [[Mark Krishchak|Krishchak]] left the band (with [[Michael Knott|Knott]] taking over as leader), Wimber also left (to be replaced by Brian Doidge - formerly of [[The Chosen Ones]] - on bass), and the name of the band was changed slightly.
