Too Bad Eugene Fighting The Unacceptable to Release New Song

Too Bad Eugene are returning in 2024, just a few short months after releasing their new album “Battle Scars” with even more NEW music coming! They are releasing a new track titled “Unacceptable” just in time for election day where this divisive country will go and throw down their vote for the candidate that will most piss off the other side and vice versa. How fun! So you’ll certainly want to settle down, kick back a few energy drinks and rage in your room or office to the sounds of Too Bad Eugene.… Continued →

Brave Days Release "Tulip"

Texas based Pop-Punk/Easycore band – Brave Days, are back with a brand new song titled “Tulip” and it’s the best thing they’ve ever done. The perfect mix of pop and heavy almost post-hardcore, metalcore screaming action. It’s an amazing combo, thus the phrase “Easycore” being used here (if you don’t know what it is, please look it up and find some killer bands to become a fan of). “Tulip” is now available wherever you listen to music courtesy of Common Thread Records. You can also listen below, right here at IVM.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Clear Convictions - New Breath vs Welcome to the Last Days

Puerto Rican hxc Clear Convictions is at it again with a brand new single that released a couple days ago. The new album Endure should be released in the next few months. Check out the band’s earlier discography & this excerpt from an early interview “‘Clear Convictions’ comes around because that’s how we see our lifestyle. As Christians, we believe by faith and that faith becomes true and alive , something that you can feel inside, it is like having an ear and true relationship with the Creator.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Subsist - Phil499

Straight-edge hardcore band Subsist came to us from central Illinois. The band contained believers, but never set out to preach. Their lyrics focused more on the straight edge lifestyle (i.e., abstaining from drugs, alcohol, and indiscriminate sex), rather than a Gospel presentation. They released an EP (Lessons in Brokeness) for Pennsylvania-based Akeldama Records in 1998, and then a full-length (The Rhythm Method), which the band released themselves in 2000. The band showed significant growth in their songwriting and technical prowess between the two releases.… Continued →

Anyway, click below this post to see the dates/times and get ready to rock out with one of the best Faith based Pop-Punk bands around. New music on the way very very soon…..… Continued →

Seth Davey (Ex-Attalus) Begins Kickstarter to Record "Hymns in Hindsight"

Seth Davey, a former member of the late great post-hardcore/indie band, Attalus, has returned with another collection of songs under his name, this one titled “Hymns in Hindsight”. He has launched a new kickstarter here and will be donating 1/2 the money rasied on kickstarter to Ashe County, North Carolina relief efforts which has been devastated by Hurricane Helene a few weeks ago and of which he shares a common story with the people and land there. Consider supporting this Kickstarter and you’ll be blessed with not only some amazing and beautiful music I might add but also see some of your money go to a great cause and help people in that part of the country who desperately need our help.… Continued →

Song of The Day: The Hotshot Freight Train - Appalachia (Prayers and Support for Those Struggling on the East Coast)

Today’s Song of the Day post is a little bittersweet. It’s a great song but comes with unfortunate ties to a region so devastated by Hurricane Helene. The song is titled “Appalachia” and is about life living in that region of the country around the beautiful Appalachian mountains and the many towns along that path. This rings oh so true… “And for those of us who daily struggle…daily struggle with the past. The best medicine is the gospel and a whiskey glass”. I figured the song, the band, and this post were relevant due to the many struggles of the residents right now, particularly in North Carolina and Tennessee especially.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Alakrity - For the Good of Getting Better

Wisconsin: most known for cheese curds, dairy farms, glacial lakes, and the Green Bay Packers. It’s also home to pop-punk band Alakrity (nowadays known as At the Wayside). We’re digging deep into the band’s archive for this track. “For the Good of Getting Better” comes from their debut release, 2007’s You Are Here EP. The track features sugary-sweet melodies and fast tempos, the two main hallmarks of the genre. The song also features some really cool vocal harmonies and lots of start-stop rhythms and tempo changes.… Continued →

Song of the Day: City of Refuge - FFM

Have you ever wanted to hear more music like Burlap to Cashmere? City of Refuge created music that sounded like a cross between Jars of Clay & Burlap. They started in a college dorm room & created a worship song called Amaze Me & went from there. Appears they did a few more singles & another full length called Clear in 2006 that I did not even know about. Anyways, the band still has a Youtube channel & a Soundclick page if you want to know more about them.… Continued →

Too Bad Eugene - Astronomical Ft. Mercy Nigh (Official Music Video)

Check out this beautiful and sentimental new music video from Santa Cruz, CA. based pop-punk band – Too Bad Eugene. The track is “Astronomical” and features frontman Adam Nigh’s daughter Mercy Nigh. It’s a sweet video and done well, showing the connection between father and daughter much like the song itself. The song is off the band’s most recent album, “Battle Scars” (People of Punk Rock Records). As a bonus, I spy an Indie Vision Music Tshirt on a member. Do you see it? Which member?… Continued →

Song of the Day: The Crimson Bridge - Comin'

One of the finest acts of the Jesus Music era, The Crimson Bridge formed in 1970. While the origins of the band were in the Gospel vocal group The Spurrlows, The Crimson Bridge’s sounds and influences were much more diverse. Sure they dabbled in the typical folk music sounds of the Jesus Movement, but they also added jazz-funk, prog rock, and psychedelic rock on their debut (and only) album, eponymously titled and released in 1972 on then-fledgling Myrrh Records. “Comin'” is the third track on the album and focuses on the return of Jesus.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Protect Your Heart - Fireproof

This LA band has released a plethora of singles over the past few years with the latest at the time of this write up being The devil you know. I’m not sure if the band falls within the “Christian” category anymore as the actual music video depicts mannequins without clothes. I personally like the following lyrics as we as humans fall down & need to strive to get back up on our feet again. I might lose on every single try But I’m not afraid to roll the dice One more time… Continued →

Model Engine song unearthed from the archives

Brilliant alternative rock band Model Engine (formerly Black Eyed Sceva) have posted a ‘new’ song recently. “Soapbox” was recorded in the late 90s as a possible addition to The Lean Years Tradition, or to be included on the follow-up album that never happened. The song showcases everything that was great about the band: rootsy, alternative, progressive, earthy, it’s all there. You can read the whole story about the rediscovery of the song on the band’s Bandcamp page, and also download the song for a mere 50 cents!… Continued →

Song of the Day: Groms - Ascension

I have always liked this song with its straight to the point lyrics. I remember having a conversation with my friend Ravn Furfjod who was excited as I was when the album got remastered through Nordic Mission Records. GROMS stands for God rules over my soul. Check out the lyrics below. I am the Lord  I am calling you  Death isn’t finished   Rise from your sleep!  Judgement day has come!   You will be delivered  If your name is written in the Book of Life Continued →

Song of the Day: Melech - Befriare

This beast of a tune dropped in 2017, from Melech, a side-project of two members of Pantokrator (with Ricke Gustafsson handling all instruments and Karl Walfridsson on vocals and lyrics). The Swedish melodeath duo tread similar waters as their counterparts, but emphasize the melodic aspects of death metal even more strongly. I’m highlighting the English lyric version of the song here, but there is also a Swedish version. “Befriare” is Swedish for “liberator” and refers to the freedom Jesus won through his atoning sacrifice and resurrection from the dead, and yet also points to the hope of future resurrection for all who die in the Lord.… Continued →
