    GREAT INTERVIEW GENTLEMEN!!!!! WOW!!! Boy does this bring back memories! I was around this band as a roadie, guitar tech, drum tech, equipment hauler, tube buyer guy...etc. lol
    Great memories and fun time. They were and still are great guys. I consider all 3 of these guys family. Well, one actually is. lol Anyway, These guys
    were "Battle of the Bands" winners multiple times. Great musicians for sure. Terrence had A LOT of talent and vision!!! You guys need to release those
    songs, I think a lot of people would enjoy it!

      Thanks for watching and commenting, Samuel, and it was our privilege to be able to speak with Bobby, Darrin and Leonard! Only one album by this great band, but it absolutely made an impact and counted! Here's to hoping for more music by them! Blessings and Merry Christmas! -Kent

    Very cool. I was there for all of Traxter. Pre Leonard and Darren until the end of the band. Being from Bakersfield I was in a dirty punk band but I would have no problem being a roadie for my Christian buddies and churches, parks and clubs. It was a blast. Darren was a young man playing Rush for hours on the drums. All of them were always so nice. Always good memories.

      @@tracezachdaniels4264 I kept looking under "Terrance" on Facebook and couldn't find you. Leonard was the only band member I was readily able to locate. After a long search, I found "Lions Named Leo" but was uncertain if that was you or someone else who operated the band page. Regardless... It would be great having you on, Tee, and it would make for a perfect occasion if you all would release that unreleased Traxter album! That would really be cause for celebration among band and fan and would be a great topic to delve into! I can connect you all with a reputable Christian record label owner if need be. Blessings to you, brother! -Kent

      Hey, Tee! Great to hear from you, brother! Your songwriting was great on the first album in my opinion... And, oh, how I wish that you guys would give us a chance to hear the music on that second album! If need be, I can help connect you guys with the right person if you all would wish to release that second Traxter album! There are several fans who would welcome that! Wishing you The Lord's blessings, brother, and thank you for laying down some great music - filled with the greatest Message - which still reaches people today! -Kent

    Great interview once again guys. I never got the TRAXTER cd when it came out, but I know it is available. I hope they will do the demo again, and some new material as well. Leonard, I would enjoy hearing the solo project you are working on. God bless!! Jerry Elder

      Thanks for checking out the Traxter interview, Jerry! We are grateful! ROXX Records has the remastered "Rock 'N Race" album. I think the guys might be up to something, recording-wise! Here's to hoping! Wishing you The Lord's blessings and a Merry Christmas! -Kent

    If the guy from Traxster doesn’t believe back masking is a real thing in secular music, he needs to research it further. It’s 100% a tool that was used by secular bands. The proof is undeniable when researched. I know it’s hard to believe our musical heroes wouldn’t do something like that, but we can’t protect our pet sins just because we’re a fan. God bless and metal on!

      Great one-of-a-kind title describing Traxter's music as knighted by Andrew Rockwell of Angelic Warlord Reviews. Two thumbs up! -Kent
