Gold Frankincense & Myrrh (stylized as GFM) is a metal band comprised of 3 sisters. With so much talent for being so young, this band has a great future & have put out so much music in so little time. This review is also in reference to my friend Blake who runs Reanimated Radio who likes this band as much as I do! This SOTD was hard to choose from my other fave Graveyard of Identities, but is because of its lyrical content.
S-M-I-L-E why don’t you smile for me
S-M-I-L-E now follow me
Go
What makes you think
You know what’s going on in my mind
What gives you the right
To think you can call this my bad side
How can you care if you don’t know the truth
Do you think everyone should be like you
Don’t make me wrong, don’t make me right
If I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna smile
Doesn’t mean that I’m not happy
Doesn’t mean that I’m half dead
Doesn’t mean that I’ve got issues swimming in my head
You don’t know the way I’m feeling or the way I live my life
Don’t tell me to, don’t tell me to smile
The look on my face
I’ve become your latest obsession
It’s safe to say
I think you’ve got the wrong impression
Okay, okay everyone settle down
Boys and girls are you ready
LuLu are you ready
I know I’m ready
Maggie are you ready, Maggie
Yeah

Song of the Day: The Agony Scene - We Bury Our Dead At Dawn
The Agony Scene is friggin’ heavy. I remember it seemd this band & AILD came out at roughly the same time. I loved this debut & not As IU Lay Dying better as the song quality was tons better. Plus I was into the goth & metal scene & fishnets & eyeliner & Hot Topic & all that. Crowd surfed at Norma Jean shows & hung out with Zao & Stretch Armstrong at New Brookland Tavern in Columbia, SC. Well this song is a killer tune, but also check out the debut as there isn’t a dud on it.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Grand Prize - It's Not Over
Grand Prize hailed from the Calvary Chapel location in Idaho. They eventually changed their name to Esterlyn & do a more AC/worshipful vibe. This SOTD has a special meaning to me & is a lot of what I personally struggle with. : You say that you love Him with your life But your going your own way You need to let Him have your rights Let Him take control of your life.”
So come on over feel His Grace shining bright
It’s not over you still need to fight
You say that it can’t be done
You just can’t live what’s right
Well that’s not right
He will heal you tonight
You say that you love Him with your life
But your going your own way
You need to let Him have your rights
Let Him take control of your life
He’ll set you free, Tonight, yea yea tonight
Some come on over let His love draw you near
It’s not over He wipe away every tear
You say that it can’t be done
You just can’t live what’s right
Well that’s not right
He will heal you tonight
Oh how He loves You- How He longs to forgive You
Won’t you let Him take your hand
Won’t you let Him show you His Plan
He will change you, He will change you, He will change you

Song of the Day: Hangnail-All That You Wanted
Hangnail is a pop punk band hailing from Wisconsin. I did have a chance to see them at Carowinds which is a theme park in the Carolinas along with several other artists such as KJ-52 & Beanbag. Forming in the early 90s, it appears they rebanded in 2020 & working on new material. This SOTD has always been my favorite due to its lyrical content & catchy sound. I have indeed felt the way that this song talks about. It does not make sense to us broken humans how God will forgive us they way He does & will.… Continued →

for KING & COUNTRY - For God is With Us (Music Video)
The indie-pop-rock group known as for KING & COUNTRY, are back with a brand new song and accompanying music video, “For God Is With Us”. This song will appear on the band’s upcoming 4th full length release. Watching the band from a personal perspective last night at the So Cal Harvest Crusade was simply mesmerizing. They may fall into that “CCM” category by writers, journalists, and hipster music aficionados but make no mistake, these gentlemen are an entertaining and talented bunch. It is music of substance with a purpose to not only reach your heart but to also get your blood pumping faster and your body moving to the beat.… Continued →

Skillet - Surviving The Game (Brand New Song and Music Video)
Skillet, have just released their brand new song titled “Surviving The Game” and there is a music video to accompany the track (check it out below). This song continues in that same current Skillet sound tradition and their sound is complimented by high end production as well as musicianship. I really think Jen’s background vocals give this track an extra layer of oomf that further compliments their already classic, rock sound. If you dig the more recent Skillet music, you’re going to absolutely love this.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Kronicles - I Need You
Kronicles was a nu-metal/modern rock band that changed their style to dubstep rock. I dig the change & hope you like this one also.
As far as I can see, no one knows me like you do. And no one knows where the wind blows,
Where it comes and where it goes, but I just need you here.
I need you.
Anxious, I confess
Break it down and I’m 46ed
And when it all comes down
I need you
Mad stressed, I digress
Feelin down and I need my fix
And when it all comes down
I need you.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Altar Boys - 1000 Miles
Altar Boys are a long running (formed in 1982) (punk) band whose very existence is a huge force in how our Christian punk subgenre has come to be. Mike Stand & company have done a wide variety of genres including modern rock (see my Clash of Symbols review) & rockabilly. There is a plethora of AB’s songs that I could have done for this SOTD, but 1000 Miles is about how Jesus loves us & is patiently waiting for us to turn to Him no matter how far we feel or seem to have gotten from Him.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Big Methuselah - My Self (Wants To Kill Me)
Big Methuselah is the Texan Christian rock band from North Carolinian Ted Pearce who has done a few different genres including world & trance going under such monikers as Phatdawg & also hung out with Joel Chernoff of the epic Messianic Jewish group Lamb. Nuff said lol! Anyways, this song is about the fight we have with ourselves & our sin nature. The video is hilarious imo but it is grainy & feels like it was amateurly made. This song actually made it into the Guinness Book of World Records on a compilation cd that was the longest of all time.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Kenny Marks - Next Time You See Johnny
Kenny Marks is an epic singer/songwriter IMHO & I have owned several of his heartfelt discography over the years. He first came to my recognition with his song The Party’s Over back when my generation had cassette tapes. Then he came out with the phenomenal LP Another Friday Night. Every single last song on it was mind blowing & I was hooked. Today’s SOTD is actually the 3rd part of a 4 part song series on a relationship that started with Growing Up Too Fast & ends with Fire of Forgiveness which is what his story is all about.… Continued →

Celtic Worship - Come Thou Font (Official Music Video)
I stumbled upon this really unique and different sounding “worship” oriented music, hymnal focused group out of Scotland called, “Celtic Worship“. Don’t let the cliché Scottish name fool you, this is uplifting, inspiring, and played with a strong sense of passion, driven by quality musicianship. The vocals are soaring and the instrumentation is out of this world. I received a press release a few weeks back and like with many I just wrote it off as more of the same. It wasn’t until I heard this new song version of “Come Thou Font” that a certain wind of enthusiasm brushed by me.… Continued →
