They have a very short clip on their instagram page of the new song but I am sure more teases will drop in the coming weeks leading up to release. If you didn’t get a chance to listen to this Hawaii based band the first go around, now will be your perfect opportunity to get into Pennylane.… Continued →

The EP release the majority of us who’ve following this band have been waiting for, is finally here! Names Without Numbers which is a personal favorite band of mine (like you couldn’t tell), are releasing the best music they’ve ever done and even though it’s just an ep, these songs add a extra punch to an already glowing display of music in their two decades long career as a band. The depth of writing, the production, the variety in sounds on these songs are nothing short of extraordinary.… Continued →

Brilliant alternative rock band Model Engine (formerly Black Eyed Sceva) have posted a ‘new’ song recently. “Soapbox” was recorded in the late 90s as a possible addition to The Lean Years Tradition, or to be included on the follow-up album that never happened. The song showcases everything that was great about the band: rootsy, alternative, progressive, earthy, it’s all there. You can read the whole story about the rediscovery of the song on the band’s Bandcamp page, and also download the song for a mere 50 cents!… Continued →

The Christian indie scene suffered a great loss last week, losing notable drummer Geoff Riley, known best for his immaculate time-keeping skills in the band Puller. The band was formed by Mike Lewis (ex-For Love Not Lisa, secular grunge/post-hardcore band), and hailed from Oklahoma. Mike posted the news of Geoff’s death, and some very poignant thoughts about Riley’s life and artistic contributions to the independent music scene via Instagram. Because it can’t really be said any better than this, I’m linking the post and including the entire text here: Geoff Riley Instagram Announcement “Hearing the news of my friend and music partner Geoff Riley passing is an overwhelming devastating loss.… Continued →

Indie pop duo Bon Voyage was a collaboration of Jason Martin (Starflyer 59, and about a dozen others) and his wife Julie on vocals. The project was somewhat accurately described as “Starflyer with female vocals,” which is not inaccurate though not really complete either. Whereas SF59 added layers and layers of guitars and fuzz, Bon Voyage stripped things back to the pop essentials. Julie’s vocals are akin to Julee Cruise, most famous for her work on the Twin Peaks soundtracks. The band released three albums for BEC and/or Tooth and Nail, and we haven’t heard from them since 2008.… Continued →

This top-notch emo band came to us from Florida (members called both Tallahassee and Orlando home). They released two singles and two full-length albums in the short span between their formation in 1999, and calling it quits in 2006. But that’s not the full story. Forever Changed stood out from the seemingly limitless pack of faith-based emo bands in the late 90s/early 00s, in a number of ways. They were incredibly musical–complex arrangements, fitting production, and capable instrumentation. And their lyrics/songwriting skills matched the music. They were open and bold in expressing their faith, but achieved the rare feat of not sounding trite, preachy, or platitudinous.… Continued →

I’ve been a fan of Starflyer 59 since the affectionately titled “Silver” (officially self-titled) released in 1994. So when offered the chance to interview Jason Martin in advance of their new album Lust for Gold, I jumped at the chance. Always known for being brief in interviews, he still managed to be substantial in his correspondence. LH: The response to the new single “909” has been incredible so far, with many people commenting how the sound hearkens back to 90s-era SF59 with the later style of vocals.… Continued →

One of the funnest and most interesting aspects of the Christian indie/punk/metal/whatever scene is that no matter how long you’ve been involved and no matter how much of an expert you may think you are, there are always new–or in this case, old–bands to discover. I found out about The Living via our friends over at Christian Tape Underground, a blog that specializes in unearthing rare and underground cassette tapes and demos from indie bands of all genres. The Living was a great little post-punk/goth rock band with lots of potential.… Continued →

Kevin & Anita Robinson (Viva Voce, Blue Giant) had a short-lived funk/soul project called Francis, that released a split release with Lackthereof about 20 years ago.

The band is releasing a new track (well, sort of)–actually an unreleased track from 2004, which will be available tomorrow (June 27) on Bandcamp or Friday (June 28) on other streaming platforms, thanks to long-time label partner Velvet Blue Music. Kevin is a Middle School teacher in Alabama specializing in Multimedia Production and some of his students created this video for the song.… Continued →

Benjamin Daniel who is a sort of, introspective, heart on the sleeve, indie solo artist who captures the imaginations and dreams of listeners across this great land through his music, is back yet again with more new music. This latest song is titled “Lights Out” and features the great Chase Tremaine in a supporting role. I highly encourage you all to give the song a listen then dig back through his older catalog of music to find an artist you’ll instantly connect with.

Read on below for the teaser trailer, release date and further information on this exciting project.… Continued →

Glen Galaxy is perhaps best known for his work in two different San Diego-based experimental indie rock bands: Trumans Water and Soul-Junk. The former was a non-religious noisy indie rock band in the proper sense of the term. Soul-Junk was a truly experimental band dabbling in a dozen different genres with lyrics filled with Scripture. On the one hand, you never knew what you were going to get musically (would it be hip-hop or noisy punk?). On the other hand, you knew that each and every album or 7″ EP was going to be chock full of quirky scriptural renditions and psalms of praise.… Continued →
