Ilia is an all-girl, American Christian rock group originating from Pine Bluff, Arkansas. The band consists of Melissa Newman (lead guitar), Jessica Frizzell (drums), Katie Knott (bass/vocals), and Alyssa Duncan (vocals). The band is named Ilia because the term translates as "God is Lord" in Hebrew. Ilia formed under the name Relentless Pursuit in 2003. When the original band disolved, a few of the remaining members formed a new band, while attending Visible School.
