Feeble Attempt Release Their Epic Skate Punk Debut!

Feeble Attempt are finally dropping their collaborative melodic skate punk debut album. The album is titled “Absolute Trash” but it is far from that, I mean polar opposite from anything resembling trash, we’ll save that for Five Iron Frenzy (lovingly). There are a ton of killer guest vocalists that fill out this release including Josh from Dogwood and Saint Didacus, Peter from Over It and Runner Runner, Adam from Homegrown and Radical Radical, and loads more. Did I say a former member of Means is part of this project?… Continued →

Introducing: Generation Gone

For this special Saturday in July I thought I’d share another really great project with you this time from a group called “Generation Gone“. They are a melodic hardcore punk band out of Southern California featuring a heavy, hard hitting sound that is melodic at times and furious all the time. The music is loud but the production is above all the rest (makes sense since the famous producer Paul Miner has his hands on producing these tunes). Songs about life and frustration, about Faith and resolution, about coming to grips with who you are and what you believe.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Dogwood - In The Line of Fire

With regard to the news of today that is surely causing friend to turn against friend, family members against each other, man against man, woman against woman, and the general disregard for one’s truth, with precious life taking a back seat, I thought I’d share a song that fits today’s message. This song is called “In The Line of Fire” and it appears on Dogwood’s 2nd full length record, “Through Thick and Thin” (1997). It’s a great song and the sentiment still rings true. A few words… Remember who is inflaming tensions, who is stoking the fires of anger and hate, and who is ripping apart our humanity at the seams.… Continued →

Watashi Return From Hiatus and Drop Two New Singles

You might recall a couple posts over the past few months about the return of Watashi Wa and I’m excited to finally share the fruits of their (reunion) labor. The band is back and have just released 2 new singles through Tooth & Nail Records with a full length “People Like People” due this spring/summer through the label. The two new singles feature some mighty guest spots (and I hear the album will have even more!). First single is “Let Me Prepare You” and features Gasoline Heart.… Continued →

Gametime - Out of the Dark (Feat. Josh Kemble of Dogwood)

Another band reemerging from a long hiatus, Gametime, has dropped 2 new songs. One of those newest songs is titled “Out of the Dark” and features Dogwood vocalist Josh Kemble on BGVs. Gametime music resonates with just about everyone who are seeking a positive spin to the last few years of darkness. Hopeful pop-punk with a heavy emphasis on quality songwriting. Check out the band’s other new song, “The Stories We Tell Ourselves” alongside “Out of The Dark”, below. Recommended for fans of Slick Shoes, The Swellers, Over It, Chaser, Autopilot Off, MUTE, Craig’s Brother, and Too Bad Eugene.… Continued →

The Family Cast Podcast Takes a Look Back at The 2001 Dogwood Album, "Matt Aragon"

The Family Cast Podcast which is run by Josh Kemble of Dogwood and St Didacus, has just posted a wonderful look back on that monumental Dogwood album, “Matt Aragon”. Quite honestly this is the rare album that meshed Punk Rock and Christianity in ways that most other bands couldn’t quite articulate for that time period. This album dropped right after 9/11 at a time of great despair, brokenness, and ultimately a lot of soul searching, with “Matt Aragon” coming to mend all those questions and disbelief which many of us felt at a really dark time in human history.… Continued →

Namesake (Arizona) Emerge From a Long Hiatus To Drop Songs on Digital Networks

A small, independent punk rock band from the late 90’s/early 00’s called “Namesake” that you may have blinked and missed, are back with a special “Demos & Legacy Recordings” release through digital networks. The release features their long lost music including that song “Michigan Avenue” that appeared on “I’m Your Biggest Fan Vol. 2” that I put together years ago for Tooth & Nail and lies dormant in the dusty bins of yesteryear. The band had a lot of passion and talent and could have been the next big thing but sadly ended much too soon.… Continued →

Portuguese Christian Punk and Hardcore on Spotify

Hey Everyone! I pray all is well! I wanted to inform everyone of a new Spotify playlist I put together. I've been listening to a lot of foreign Christian artists lately. Portuguese is the second most foreign language of artists in my collection, so I thought people need to hear and know about this.

Song of the Day: Incomplete - Last Night

We now approach the 20th anniversary of this now classic punk rock split release between 1 huge fan favorite band – Dogwood, and 1 lesser known, extremely underrated melodic “new school punk” band, Incomplete. I’m left feeling sentimental just looking at the simple artwork and being reminded of two extremely important bands of my youth. I first discovered Incomplete while in High School. I don’t remember who passed a demo to me but I held on to it tightly and followed the band right into “I’m Your Biggest Fan Vol.… Continued →

Joel Piper Covers Classic 1997 Dogwood Song and It is Out Now!

Joel Piper (Lifelong/Avery Pkwy/Ex-Confide/Ex-Dismissed/Ex-Olivia the band) has surprisingly covered and recorded a version of the little heard and now classic 1997 Dogwood track, “In The Line of Fire”. This is a truly unique song and is sure to raise those eyebrows but at the same time bringing hope to so many people. Check out the song now on all digital networks and streaming sites. I always considered this a really emotional ballad and perspective not heard much in popular “Christian” music. I identify with this song not only for the situation my wife was in as a young teenager but also all the other countless babies that are discarded like yesterday’s news and lack of compassion some have for the unborn.… Continued →
