The Myriad Rereleases Early EPs

Much loved and critically underrated indie rock band The Myriad, seems to have some new activity transpiring. The band last released the full length “With Arrows, With Poise” back in 2008 to much acclaim and fan adoration but the band’s time in the spotlight was cut short when their drummer Randy sadly passed away from cancer. The band decided to put a hold on the band and went into hibernation. Well, they are working on things and also put up 3 of their older “indie” EPs on digital networks.… Continued →

Introducing: Working Hour

Taking a minute here to introduce you all to a brand new group called Working Hour. They are duo that have a splashy pop-rock sound filled with 80’s pop sensibilities and modern rock touches. Similar in spirit to The 1975, The Band Camino, Twenty One Pilots, and The Neighbourhood with a little Tears For Fears and Simply Red thrown in for good measure. They just released a brand new single “It Doesn’t Feel Right” back in May. Check them out.… Continued →

Zane Vickery Funding New Album - Check Out a Preview!

Zane Vickery’s latest EP came during a difficult period in my life where I personally found myself spiritually, physically, and emotionally exhausted. His words were thoughtful, provocative, and encouraging all the same – yet never denying the things we hold in tension as believers in a broken world. It was like the words of a comforting friend who was okay to share in my suffering but didn’t simply want me to stay there. Now, on the other side of literal life-changing car crash, Zane is working on a full-length album about grief, recovery, and faith.… Continued →

The Young Escape Release BEC Recordings Debut EP

The Young Escape just released their BEC Recordings 5 song EP “You Shine” and it is available digitally wherever you get your music. I’m not always the biggest CCM listener but something strikes me differently about this group and I feel that their fresh sound will take them far even if it rests more on the “mellow” side of my old man ears. I’m open to anything new and I think the sounds on this little EP aren’t all that bad. Heck you might even find something encouraging and uplifting about this band of siblings.… Continued →

Minor Rockstar Release Debut EP

A new grungy-punk like band called Minor Rockstar just dropped their debut EP titled “Wasted” and it is available on all digital networks now through Thumper Punk Records. They have a really unique moody yet melodic sound that would have fit comfortably on any rock radio FM dial throughout the 90’s but not so drenched in nostalgia that they don’t fit in here in 2023. Imagine Superheaven, Balance & Composure, Off Road Minivan, Weezer, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains in a blender and you’ll get a feel for the sound you’re about to encounter.… Continued →

Slow Coming Day Premiere Brand New Song at IAMTUNEDUP That Will Absolutely RULE Your Weekend

Slow Coming Day is crushing it, I mean absolutely slamming it with this new song titled “Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace”. This is the band’s return to new recorded music as a group which is being said of almost 2 decades but I guess those special Indie Vision Music songs from a few years ago will remain unknown secret hits 😉 This song just like all their other music, hits in all the right places and soars like so many other songs fail to do.… Continued →

23 Years of Indie Vision Music

[Some ‘2000’ song favorites can be heard below] On this day in year 2000 I launched a website that changed the trajectory of my free time and offered a hobby that became so much more. I may not have ridden the dot com wave or had a commercial at the Super Bowl but I found happiness and contentment in my own little niche on the world wide web. I’m immensely proud of IVM and my experiences over the past 23 years. To hold on to one domain with one owner for that many years is nothing short of extraordinary (a miracle really).… Continued →
