Song of the Day: The Warning - Condemned to Hell

If you’ve been around the Christian punk/metal/hardcore/indie scene for any amount of time, you will likely have heard the name Burrito. Not his real name, of course–the man David Villalpando was a legend in the underground scene. Sadly, the man that many called a friend passed away this week from covid-related illness. For those who didn’t know him, it is difficult to overstate his impact on the scene. From a musical standpoint, while none of his projects ever achieved mainstream success or financial prosperity, they were always on the bleeding edge of innovation.… Continued →

Nate Parrish Drops Remix Version of "Religion of Relevance"

I’m not always the biggest fan of electronic based REMIX tracks but this one by Nate Parrish really shines bright. It is done every bit as professional as anything found on modern day radio. If you didn’t think punk and electronic DJ related music could coexist, just listen to this and let your head spin. Nate Parrish is one of my favorite punk and solo artists. His music hits me in the gut in all the right ways and this new music is certainly no exception.… Continued →
