-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 band, but 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 listed. Joining 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. I think he only collaborated on one song."
