Are you one to seek out some new bands to listen to? There are so many bands and labels out there, it can be easy to let some get by you, but whatever you do, don’t let Raven Faith Records be one of them. Raven Faith Records is a newer label in a way and has a roster that is well worth checking out. A few bands worth mentioning here are Peter118, As We Are, CPR, Desiring Dead Flesh, Thre3, and The Bricks. More recently, the label has signed Outside the Shadows, His Calling, and they’ve renewed a contract with Peter118, who have also released a new single, “Waiting”, this past week.… Continued →

Yesterday, Peter118 released a new track on Raven Faith Records called “Waiting” and it really took me by surprise. For those acquainted with the Peter118 sound, you’re in for a big surprise as well. Up to this point, the band has played an edgy, raw punk rock, but this is like Peter118 meets Green Day (Nimrod/Warning era) meets 90s grunge and truthfully, the 90s grunge part stands out the most. This song is very well written, catchy as anything, and displays a real growth in songwriting.… Continued →

Thanks to former IVM writer and friend Brian Mercer this band was shared with me. Their peppy sound is like punchy and well layered pop-punk dream come true. All the elements of your favorites bands from yesteryear mixed with a a current and edgy sound meant to hit you with a sense of urgency.… Continued →

So, 2018 is behind us, another year on the books. After having put together a list of my favorite releases for the year, I decided to try going in the opposite direction and form a list of the albums I’m anticipating most in the coming year. Now, a bit of a heads up before we dig in; I am almost certainly missing some albums here. Some may have escaped my attention, and I’m sure there are more to be announced yet as well. All mentioned below I’m sure are coming this year, but a specific date has yet to be given.… Continued →

Alberta, Canada’s own The Social Threat are back and better than ever. The melodic punk band is set to release their new single “Too Far” on February 2nd and it’s is an explosive yet melodic new punk rock anthem set to make a fan out of all you. I’ve heard the whole song and I just love this band. Check out a teaser below. Their drummer is a graphic designer and is responsible for the IVM “Keys” and “Microphone” logo merch from IVM back in 2012.… Continued →

I am excited to reveal the track listing for the new Craig’s Brother ep “Devils In The Details” (to be released soon on Indie Vision Music). The ep which comes 15 years after their last ep “Epidemic” shows a band building on the strength of their previous material while embracing the future and offering some thought provoking punk rock. Pre-Orders for the CD will go live as soon as we get a release date locked in. Things take time and quality is the most important so let’s all sit patiently waiting for the punk rock kings to knock one out of the park.… Continued →

See which ones you’d have picked out and maybe find some new music to check out.

Letter Kills just might be teasing a comeback. It’s a little soon to speculate what it could mean; a one-off reunion show? An new album? I recommend finding the band on their social networks like Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date with whatever is going on, because there certainly appears to be activity of some kind going on. Who would like to see these guys get things going again?… Continued →

Finding a rock album in 2018 feels like searching for a needle in a haystack of hip hop. That’s why I’ve done my best to collect all of the rock, alternative, indie, metal, and punk albums I’ve come across in 2018 into one list for you. It’s far from complete (especially when it comes to heavy albums) but hopefully you will be able to find at least a few albums and EPs you haven’t heard yet. Enjoy! (Oh, and feel free to contribute more to the list in the comments!)… Continued →

For those of you who braved the crowds on Black Friday, you probably heard Christmas songs playing on the PA overhead. I put together a Spotify playlist of Christmas songs that my wife and I enjoy this time of year to share with all of you.

With today being Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner, 2019 will be here before we know it. There have been so many great releases these past 11 months, but some have gone with little or no recognition. This post is to bring to light some of those releases. 

So a few months back, a Christian deathcore/hardcore band from Matamoros, Mexico took the scene by storm with their message of faith, hope, and love that comes through Christ our Saviour. That band was My Place Was Taken. What seperated them from others doing the like is that their lyrics are all in Spanish. As I was viewing through some of the comments left on those articles here on IVM, I noticed that other readers were interested in other Christian artists that also sang in Spanish.… Continued →
