GoFundMe to Benefit Ted Bond (Craig's Brother) and Family

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 →

The Myriad - Something's In The Water (New Song & Music Video)

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 →

Gypsy & Me - Ain't Done With You Yet (Official Music Video)

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 Launch Campaign to Press Aunt Betty's 1996 Album on Vinyl/Tape/CD

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 →

I released the official music video from Orion Walsh for his song “In Desperate Times” then forgot to publish it right here on Indie Vision Music and share that news.

IVM Year 25 Starts Now

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. We will have all our old classic designs on AnchorMerchandising if you want to check those out as well. 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 artist known as Ben S Dixon a multi instrumentalist and songwriter from the Northern Virginia area, just dropped his intense and heavy new song “Moths & Rust” which based off the verses in Matthew 6: 19-21. This has a really incredible sound and I was expecting it upon first listen. The song also features Nate Parrish which is always a good thing, right? Check out the track below and listen/stream wherever you get your music. (The lyrics are also on the YouTube video page so be to visit and check those out).… Continued →

The Myriad - Ghost On a Wire (New Song and Lyric Video)

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 →

Light The Way - Lurk (Official Music Video)

Light The Way are back with another new music video for a song off their brand new full length record, “Expel”. The song is “Lurk” and features some tour footage from their recent run of dates late last year. It’s a fun video by an even funner band (is that a word?). Go check it out below this post. Also make sure to buy a copy of “Expel” on CD and Vinyl while supplies last over on their bandcamp page.… Continued →

TAKEHEART Release "History"

A new pop-punk band by the name of TAKEHEART with a definite Christian lyric center which is really cool and gives this a slight worship bent. Similar lyrically to bands like Light The Way, Homeplate, No Treaty, Take, Then It Ends, James Franchise, and other indie acts that aren’t afraid to share their spiritual center and love for Jesus but with music that doesn’t suck. This post is about a new band by the name of TAKEHEART and their brand new track “History” that you can listen to below.… Continued →

Best of 2024: Brandon Jones

Well, we have reached that year end event, the time in which Indie Vision Music posts their “Best of Lists” for the world to see. 2024 was a tumultuous year and one filled with plenty of heartbreak and tragedy for myself of which I am still recovering from in the form of grief and trauma. As much as there were lows (I’m talking low lows), there were some definite highs and highlights I might say in the form of music. Albums and EPs plastered this year, many of which have entered my year end best of list.… Continued →

Gypsy & Me Release Inspiring New Song "Ain't Done With You Yet"

Newly signed to Fair Vaux Records, the duo known as Gypsy & Me have just dropped their 2nd new single for 2024 and this one is one heck of an emotional whirlwind. The song is titled “Ain’t Done With You Yet” and has literally come out of nowhere for me. I wasn’t expecting such a pleasurable listening experience and I don’t know why I had low expectations going in. Maybe I was in the dumps emotionally during this holiday season and thinking of Gypsies in my mind I was reminded of some commune loving hippies or something.… Continued →

Then It Ends Release Epic New Full Length Record

A heavy metalcore act that mixes djent and some singing parts by the name of THEN IT ENDS, just dropped their brand new full length titled “Closure”. What a way to close out the year of releases and a beautiful representation of the heavy genre mixed with seeking, honesty, and a cry out to God for his love and forgiveness like lyrics. If you’re looking for another IT band to listen to, these guys are them. I’m really digging No Treaty and Then It Ends (among a handful of other great new acts).… Continued →

The IVM DAD Series, Coming To a Spotify Near You

Let’s get these songs millions of plays so follow these playlists and share with friends and family.… Continued →

Sower Releases New Single, "Hollywood"

After bursting onto the scene with TWO EPs this year, Sower has been quickly paving the way for biblically-literate rock. But with “Hollywood”, Sower sets the stage for a different direction. The track is still anchored in Scripture, but the text is applied to our particular moment of cultural chaos – and the ways professing Christians buy into the lies of our age. “Hollywood” is not shy to cover these sins by name, reminding believers of the ugliness and destruction which follows them. The track is the first taste of an upcoming album on discernment, and it certainly sets the bar high.… Continued →

Teeth For Eyes Release New Album "Mines Along The Strand"

Teeth For Eyes return with their debut full length record, “Mines Along The Strand” via The Charon Collective. It’s a high powered, adrenaline laced, solid slice of punk rock n’ roll. The band features members of a variety of indie and punk rock legends in their own right and the sounds found on this record certainly encompasses that experience that only well-seasoned musicians can bring you. This isn’t a dated sounding album nor is it a rehash of the past, this is a legitimately great set of songs that will have you swooning and singing along with, in no time at all.… Continued →
