The North Pole Project is the third studio album by the Christian rock band Number One Gun. It was released under Tooth & Nail Records on January 15, 2008.
After Number One Gun decided to split up in 2006 all four former members went their own directions. Jeff Schneeweis started a band called "The North Pole Project", which would later be his inspiration for the name of this album. Sometime later Schneeweis was approached by Tooth & Nail Records and asked to release his music under the name Number One Gun. When Schneeweis agreed to the deal he began his work on the new Number One Gun album, "The North Pole Project", as a solo record.
