Nate Parrish Drops Music Video for "Small"

By Brandon J. in News | No Comments

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 →

Introducing: Tenkiller

By Brandon J. in News | No Comments

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 →

Song of the Day: King's X - Fall on Me

By Loyd Harp in News, Song of The Day | No Comments

Along with the 80s alternative rock bands like U2, Midnight Oil, The Alarm, and Simple Minds, King’s X were the ultimate “Christians in a band” scenario. Despite numerous Christian labels and festivals trying to get the band on board, they always felt their audience was much wider. And yet, their lyrics always hinted at faith in bountiful ways. Musically, the band often functioned as a ‘band’s band.’ They were praised and recognized by members of Pearl Jam, and tons of others as an influence. They played a strange mix of classic rock, funk, heavy metal, and alternative in a unique concoction of progressive metal that predated genres like grunge, alternative metal and even post metal.… Continued →

REVIEW : Frank Lenz - Blending In

By Loyd Harp in Reviews | No Comments

Everyone’s favorite quirky pop musical genius returns with five songs. Having done stints with Fold Zandura, Lassie Foundation, and Cush, Lenz has ventured out solo since 2001’s Hot Stuff. So what’s it like? This is pop cynicism at its finest. Sugary sweet pop melodies with some of the most bizarre and quirky lyrics yet. Is Lenz Scottish? Because this is right up there with Belle and Sebastian or early Teenage Fanclub. Then again, this EP is hard to peg for so many reasons (yes, the release title is ironic).… Continued →

Magdalene Rose Drops New Single, "Hey, At Least I'm Feeling Something"

By Rob J in News | No Comments

Magdalene Rose, formerly of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh, has dropped a new single titled, “Hey, At Least I’m Feeling Something”. Check it out below! The track is pretty eclectic, featuring heavy guitars, some easycore/pop-punk feeling moments. This coupled with Maggie’s melodic, yet driving vocals make for an audible one-two punch sure to please long-time fans while garnering some new ones in the process. But the heart of the song is found in the lyrics, which deal with the heavy subject of cutting. Very well crafted songwriting for such a weighty subject matter.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Sev Statik - Warning

By Loyd Harp in News, Song of The Day | No Comments

Sev Statik (born Joseph Evans) is a hip-hop MC originally from Albany, NY. His credentials and discography run pretty deep. While most average listeners were first introduced to his music through his 2002 release on Uprok Recordings (a short-lived hip-hop label affiliated with Tooth & Nail Records), he had been active with Deepspace5 since 1996. The collective also included Labklik (featuring Listener), Ill Harmonics, and Mars Ill. Are you keeping up? To make matters even more confusing, Sev Statik has also recorded under the alias Stu Dent.… Continued →

Plead The Widow's Cause Release Heavy and Hopeful New Spirit Filled Hardcore Album

By Brandon J. in News | No Comments

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.

Song of the Day: Black and White World - Love is the Law

By Loyd Harp in News, Song of The Day | No Comments

The 90s was such an interesting decade for music in general, but for the Christian scene in particular. There was such a diversity of sounds and multiple genres exploding in all different directions from alternative to metal to punk to hardcore to hip-hop and electronica. Then even within each of these there was a multiplicity of subgenres all moving in different trajectories at the same time. It wasn’t uncommon to go to a gig in the 90s and see a ska band opening a show that also included indie rock and hardcore.… Continued →

REVIEW : 2Minute Minor – Self-Titled and Self-Reflection

By Loyd Harp in Reviews | 3 Comments

After publicly calling it quits last year, 2Minute Minor decided to release one final EP. Due to family commitments, touring and playing live was no longer possible, so rather than keep the band going, they decided to end things. This is that final record. Interestingly former members Marko (on guitar) and Zach (on drums) both returned for the final recording, as well as having lead guitar contributions from none other than Bryan Gray (The Blamed, Left Out, Mortal, Six Feet Deep, et. al.) Mainstays Wiley (vocals), Bob (guitar), and Sean (bass) are back as well.… Continued →

Death Therapy Release New Song "The End is a New Beginning"

By Brandon J. in Lyric Videos, News | No Comments

Death Therapy just released a heavy yet melodic, brand new song titled “The End Is a New Beginning”. The song is out now and available through all digital networks and streaming sites. 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.
