Pillar is an American Christian rock band originating from Hays, Kansas back in 1998. Since relocating homebase to Tulsa, OK a few years later, they have built a substantial discography, releasing nine studio albums, three EPs, and an impressive 24 singles. While their sound has evolved over time, Pillar is generally categorized within the hard rock genre, with elements of rapcore and alternative metal also present in their music.

They have won several Dove Awards, including Hard Music Album of the Year in 2001, 2002, and 2003. Some of their most popular songs include "Open Your Eyes", "Original Superman", "Live for Him", "Fireproof", "Bring Me Down", and "Frontline".

The band's current lineup features Rob Beckley on lead vocals, Noah Henson on lead guitar, Michael "Kalel" Wittig handling bass duties, and Lester Estelle II behind the drum kit. Over their career, Pillar has seen some lineup changes, but this core group represents their current iteration.

Pillar's music often explores themes of faith and struggle, resonating with a wide audience. Their blend of heavy guitar riffs, powerful vocals, and often introspective lyrics has earned them a dedicated fanbase within the Christian rock community and beyond. They have toured extensively, bringing their energetic live performances to venues across the United States and other countries. Throughout their career, Pillar has aimed to connect with listeners through their music, sharing messages of hope and resilience. Their longevity in the music industry is a testament to their ability to adapt and connect with audiences, creating music that truly resonates with their fans.
