    When you break down the "Golden Rule," its essentially about interpersonal relationships. Whether it's a coincidence, the second Rhythm Saints release, (Golden), is also about interpersonal relationships. Once you get past the fabulous musical packaging -- "British dance pop" in the finest, best sense -- you notice these tracks explore relationships with friends, with love ones and with God. Add some eclectic pop culture influences -- everything from Europop and New York House and Club music to Michael Chrichton and Star Trek -- and you've got a party in a box. The "Golden Rule" never sounded this good. Rhythm Saints have created some of the best, most accessible, most authentic dance music in the "Christian" marketplace, with strong, polyrhymic beats, strong, singable melodies and strong, fluid vocals -- all wrapped around a strong, Christian message. (Golden) rules.
