This pop punk band made waves back in the mid 2000s. This SOTD has always been my fave per its catchy music & lyrics. Check em out.
Every time it came He took the pain,
He took away,
And in our place He stands,
Everyday, all day,
He lived to die,
He died to pay,
And in our place He stands,
Forty minus one,
Sin caused undone,
Black eye and spit,
Innocence they hit,

Song of the Day: Olivia the Band - Stars and Stripes
I’ve never been a huge fan of pop-punk–just dabbled here and there–but darn it all if this isn’t a catchy tune! I popped this into the car CD player earlier this week, having not listened to it in years, and that opening tune was so ridiculously familiar! I think I must have heard it on a compilation somewhere too for me to remember it so well.
Anyway, Olivia the Band was originally from Hawaii, but eventually relocated to San Diego. They released their self-titled debut in 2005 on Essential Records.… Continued →

Song of the Day: I Am They - From The Day
This country folk rock band isn’t your normal artist noticed on this site, but they have been a fave of mine for years. I finally got the chance to see them live here recently & I was sad. This was their last tour as a band. They actually started out really small doing some songs for their church from what I gather. Obviously they grew & found their way onto Christian CCM radio. I actually performed this song on bass to this megachurch church I was going to at the time to audition for the worship band.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Red - Ordinary World
I remember when this band first started, they were on a rock show hosted by Sonia Vannest. I found out about them & Evanescence on the same show. We all know the directions that the bands took after. This SOTD is in hopes for more Red music. They have done a few covers but this is my fave from them as I loved this song as a kid when it was originally done by Duran Duran.

Song of the Day: Krystal Meyers -Make Some Noise
Krystal Meyers reminded me of a Christian marketed Avril Lavigne & I’m pretty sure that’s the image she was going for if one see the music video for anticonformity. This song has always struck me as my fave & apparently there are 3 other versions with the vocals being such in Indonesian, Mandarin and Thai!

Song of the Day: Day of Fire - Through The Fire
Day of Fire was a Tennessee post grunge band. Vocalist Josh Brown has a quasi similar story to Head from Korn. Both realized they had a drug problem & let it go when they came to Jesus. This song is so powerful & I have to turn it up every time I hear it. Jesus will never leave us. Can I get an Amen!
