Brandon Jones otherwise known as the man with a plan, aka Nanny Doe, aka Founder and Owner of IVM, visited the White House over the weekend (see pic) to plan out how best to keep Faith based rock n’ roll aka Christian Music, alive and well into the next decade by incorporating his “Dominate” approach (inspired by the fine folks at Tooth & Nail Records in their ‘Dominate 98’ ad slogan) into the America First Agenda. Meeting with Trump and Musk, he felt that his lifelong passions could reverberate into Washington DC politics.… Continued →

In a brazen twist of fate and a battle of industry heavyweights, fast rising media company KingdomCore has acquired long running metal site, LambGoat. The new media empire will be rebranded as “KingdomLambCore” or KLC for short. New merch is quickly being created in time for Furnace Fest this fall including shirts, hoodies, patches, brass knuckles, nunchucks, lightsabers, as well as a festival exclusive 7″ of Beloved covering Advent covering Norma Jean covering The Chariot with the cast of Yo Gabba Gabba, titled “There is a Party With God in My Tummy”.… Continued →

A rather odd news story to report on but one of the utmost importance. At first it emerged as just another rumor but now has been verified through management. A much loved Facedown Records band and all around IVM favorite – American Arson, has made the jump to Europe to an undisclosed country and have renamed themselves as “European Arson“. It can be taken as a direct tribute to their new home or a firebrand sort of activism that just might get them sent back home.… Continued →

Nate Parrish just dropped a music video for his emotional and inspirational new rock ballad, “Small”. I’ve heard it described as somewhere between Sam Raimi and Wes Anderson but I definitely see some Michael Bay. Ok that last part is an over exaggeration but you get the point, this is a music video not to be missed. Video can be found below or on Nate’s YouTube channel. The song is available now through all digital networks courtesy of Fair Vaux Records.… Continued →

I don’t think we’ve covered this band at length in the past but what better a time than now to share some great new music. The band is called Tenkiller probably because a few members are from Tennessee and they are killer? Most likely not, but I consider them killer so there you go. Anyway, this new band might a have a few familiar faces and names coming from bands like For Love Not Lisa, Puller, Blenderhead, Spoken in Tongues, Chainsaw Kittens, and more, all shaping up the lineup for a new band that is more seasoned and talented than a lot of newer groups making a go of it.… Continued →

New Jersey based spirit filled post-hardcore band – Plead The Widow’s Cause, just released their brand new full length record titled “(Silver Glass Stare)”. The title of record is actually an excerpt from “The Lord of The Rings” by J.R.R. Tolkien. This is a heavy and metallic, spirit filled, post-hardcore, sometimes melodic, bundle of joy. This is a literal step up from the last record “Pain Split” and shows a band not afraid to stretch out their wings and experiment a little but at the same time drawing on past influences and classic hardcore sounds as well as some screamo 00’s tendencies.… Continued →

Anberlin have released a series of video clips over on their Instagram/Facebook pages with what sounds like new versions of songs off “Never Take Friendship Personal” and a date of 3/21. A video was just posted today with a clip of Matty Mullins (current lead singer of Anberlin and singer for Memphis May Fire) talking about re-recording “Paperthin Hymn” and that same date listed again. So either we are getting a re-recording of Paperthin Hymn with Matty on Friday or a whole album re-recording is dropping that same date.… Continued →

This is some of the best material yet from Jason Wisdom and his band. Really killer new song! Check out the lyric video below.

This also appears to be the band’s first independent release.… Continued →

Hopeful. have just dropped their latest new song and it is titled “Fractured Soul”. All this new music including their latest single, further proves the power that rests in independent music making and the intersection between Faith and living told through music format. The band had this to say about the song, “To everyone who has ever struggled with affliction, addiction, doubt, anxiety, depression or anything in that category. You aren’t alone! Let this lyric sink in: “It’s time to listen to that voice inside your heart.… Continued →

It was revealed late last year that Craig’s Brother founding member and lead vocalist – Ted Bond, had indeed gotten a diagnosis of Lymphoma. A friend of Ted’s and the family has put together a special GoFundMe campaign to raise funds to help offset the costs associated with the coming medical bills associated with treatment and healing. Since I understand first hand the exorbitant costs from medical bills and deductibles to be met, I know it isn’t easy for many families to pay outright for them on a meager income.… Continued →

Is The Myriad not the absolute best rock act with new music out there right now? Sometimes these older bands reunite only to put out music that isn’t as endearing, fresh, or honoring the past while embracing the future but The Myriad does all of the above and more. Their music is refreshing and cathartic. I can’t help but feel enthralled by each and every “new” song they release and have released over the past year or so. This new track “Something’s In The Water” is nothing short of extraordinary.… Continued →

The insanely talented new Americana/Folk/Rebel Country duo known as Gypsy & Me, just dropped their beautiful new music video for the song “Ain’t Done With You Yet” off their most recent album, “Know Hope”. The song itself is a heart stirring collection of words and melodies that will captivate just about anyone who listens and turn your tears of sorrow into that of happiness and delight. Their new album has really captivated me to be honest. It’s one of my top favorites going into 2025 so far and I can’t wait to hear what else this group comes up with this year and beyond.… Continued →

Lost in Ohio have just launched a kickstarter campaign (click here) to re-release the controversial debut release from Aunt Betty’s on Vinyl, Tape, and CD. The band featured the late Mike Knott and members of Dakota Motor Co., LSU, Fanmail, etc. The one and only album from this project released in 1996 on a major label but the band imploded shortly after it’s release and many people never got the chance to hear it’s raw, blunt, and unabashedly unafraid punk rock glory. I did listen to this album at one time but my memories escape me for what I found and I wrote it off.… Continued →

We have entered the 25th year of this website, Indie Vision Music and I am celebrating by launching a killer new merch collaboration through MerchYeah.com/indievisionmusic. What originally began during the dot com bubble (and subsequent crash) as a simple independently minded, underground Christian music webstore in the year 2000 has morphed into the magnificent creature it is today (heavy on the winky face). I started this site out of my love for music, my faith, and being the promoter I was (I began booking my first shows at 17 in 1996), I wanted to get involved and do something different, unique.… Continued →

The day has finally arrived and I am happy to announce that the Tooth & Nail Records 30th Anniversary Vinyl Box Set has arrived! UnoriginalVinyl and T&N have poured over some precious blood, sweat, and tears trying to make this box set a reality and the quality and attention to detail is unmistakable. I hear it’s quickly selling so hopefully by the time this post goes live, it isn’t completely gone. Some of Tooth & Nail’s most adored very early year releases like Wish For Eden “Pet the Fist”, Focused “Bow”, Blenderhead “Prime Candidates for Burnout”, Starflyer 59 “She’s The Queen”, and The Blamed “Frail”, are all included.… Continued →

The Myriad are on a role with new music since they came back from the dead. This is the band’s 3rd new single in a year! I would go out on a limb and say that this new stuff blows away anything they’d done prior, years in the past. Beautiful stuff and really catchy in a somber, soothing manner. Check out “Ghost On a Wire” below this post in lyric (simulation) video format and let us know what you think. You can also catch an interview with Jeremy & Scott of The Myriad on The Rumors are TRUE!… Continued →
