Song of the Day: J.C. Crew - Pressure Drop

By Loyd Harp in News, Song of The Day | No Comments

J.C. Crew was a hip-hop trio that was a one-and-done situation. They released Serious Bizness on Pakaderm/Word (with mainstream distribution through Epic) in 1991, and then more or less disappeared. Nevertheless, there are a few notable things about the project. The album features a danceable, funky style of hip-hop that was common at the time, meant to rock the party. However, the rapping was actually quite good too. One of the members, Maximillian later released album Deeper than Most through N-Soul in 1997, after a season with T-Bone’s Organized Rhyme Crew.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Superstar - The Brightest Star

By Timo Cuoco in Song of The Day | No Comments

Here is another Christian rock rarity. Do you remember Rustproof Records which put out great releases from Broomtree & Polarboy. Well, this band had a song called This Confusion included on a compilation from the label. Unsure on much else from the band because there isn’t much information on the www. As the discogs site doesn’t list the band beyond the comp, my best guess is the cd was released independently.  Here is a track listing from the cd though.  https://www.cylist.com/List/406381538/superstar-broken-record-cd-track-listing

Introducing: FYR FYTR

By Brandon J. in News | No Comments

Today’s introduction is of the project “FYR FYTR” (Fire Fighter). Introspective and passionate indie rock with an almost post-hardcore like influence, that Faith connection and a strong emphasis on emotions. I ran across this band a few weeks ago through a sponsored ad and instantly fell in the love with the music. I’m slow with news so it took me a little while to write this post. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. FYR FYTR just released a new song at the beginning of November titled “So Simple”.… Continued →

By Timo Cuoco in News, Song of The Day | No Comments

REVIEW : xDoulosx - Birth Pains

By Loyd Harp in Reviews | No Comments

Doulos – Birth Pains This band was my big surprise hit at Audiofeed Festival last summer. Sure, I’d heard the name for several years and probably sampled a track or two online, but I’d never fully experienced the band until that live set in a hot tent in July. They blew me away with their energy and riffs galore. Lots of tempo changes, fast parts, mosh parts, exactly as hardcore should be! And so, while I was excited to review this album, my excitement also come with some degree of trepidation.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Elgibbor - Final Triumph

By Loyd Harp in News, Song of The Day | No Comments

Elgibbor began as a solo project of Jarek (AKA “Fire,” also of Fire Throne) from Poland in 1999. Other band members have come and gone, and Jarek has since relocated to the United States. The outfit is incredibly prolific, having released 15 full-length albums since its inception, not to mention singles, EPs and other releases. The band’s name is taken from a Hebrew name for God, meaning “God Almighty.” An interesting approach is taken by the band in that each album features a slightly different take on the black metal genre.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Terminal Generation - Body Bag vs Suck You Down

By Timo Cuoco in Song of The Day | No Comments

So here is another rarity band that I have pulled from the archives. The Terminal Generation considered themselves the world’s scariest band. Based out of California, they melded distorted guitars & vocals. Most would know them if they followed 90s Christian industrial movement when R.E.X. records released an industrial compilation called Electro Shock Therapy in 1995, but they actually got their start in LA in 1989.

Introducing: Hope Through Grace

By Brandon J. in News | 1 Comment

Let’s take a moment and soak in the pure awesomeness of the band Hope Through Grace from the UK, laying down that hardcore and metal so perfectly. On this song “John 20” it features Miggy Sanchez of Relent fame. The band just released their brand new EP also titled “John 20”, a week ago through Southwest Hardcore and it’s a wildfire spreading bombastic, heavy hardcore influenced EP. Hope Through Grace and Barriers (also from the UK) are tearing Europe up by storm and you need to check them both out (they share members).… Continued →

Song of the Day: Innermeans - Casualty of Me

By Loyd Harp in News, Song of The Day | 2 Comments

I wasn’t sure what to make of this band the first time I heard them. It was heavy, metallic hardcore, created in the era just before full-blown metalcore had become a thing. And the vocals were unlike anything I’d ever heard in hardcore before. The band hailed from Riverside, CA and were only active for a couple of years in the late 90s. They released a pair of demos, before releasing a devastating 4-song EP for fledgling Solid State Records, then-brand new sub-label of Tooth & Nail focusing exclusively on hardcore and metal.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Benjamin - Don't Tell Him You Love Him

By Timo Cuoco in Song of The Day | No Comments

Benjamin is the only son of Christian music legends Bill & Gloria Gaither. I have always liked this song & The Narrow Road. Rain Down a Fire was big on CCM radio also. I love the lyrics to the chorus of this song. Don’t tell Him you love Him, Don’t tell Him you need Him til you’re ready to fall down on your knees & ready to serve Him. Don’t tell Him you’re sorry, Don’t tell Him what you’re never going to do until you let Him stand & follow through.… Continued →

Happy Powers (Paige Tremaine) Debuts First Single

By Casey Gallenberger in News | 1 Comment

If Paige Tremaine’s name isn’t quit familiar, perhaps you’d at least recognize her husband Chase – the entrepreneurial spirit behind the JFH podcast, one of the mainstays in the Christian independent music world, and a man who boasts several albums to his name (among many other hobbies and talents). It might be easy to mistake that Paige’s songwriting, assisted powerfully by her husband, would be simpler or have more of a side project feeling to it on paper. But you’d also be quite wrong: it’s clear Happy Powers, her musical moniker, means serious business and is in fact a captivating rock project.… Continued →

PADOVER (Featuring Damian Horne of Silage) Releases Debut EP

By Brandon J. in News | 1 Comment

I just got wind of this new project called PADOVER that features the talents of Damian Horne of Silage fame. He emailed me and gave me info and I’m certainly glad he did. The band just released their new EP “Paper Catches Fire” and they want you all to give them a listen. I think a lot of old 90’s alt rock fans alongside all the latest and greatest from the past 20 years or so of modern music making will find something to appreciate in the music of Padover.… Continued →

The "Time" is Now for the Myriad to Unleash One of the Most Powerful Songs of 2024

By Brandon J. in News | No Comments

Just when I thought the year was winding down and coming to a close a band like The Myriad arrives with what can only be considered to be an absolute masterpiece, a song called “Time”. I’m judging this merely based upon this short teaser trailer and the fact that their last 2 songs were pure magic. The word “Time” is a common running theme in the music of The Myriad and I suspect there is more to the theme than what is visible at the surface level.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Lost Dogs - No Ship Coming In

By Loyd Harp in News, Song of The Day | No Comments

This folk/alternative/roots supergroup emerged in the early 90s as prominent members of four huge Christian bands came together in a new way altogether. Michael Roe of the Seventy Sevens, Terry Scott Taylor of Daniel Amos, Gene Eugene of Adam Again, and Derri Daugherty of the Choir joined their songwriting, playing, and singing skills and released the brilliant debut Scenic Routes in 1992. The album was an amalgamation of all things Americana: folk, country, gospel, bluegrass, blues, and rock and roll all coming together with an alternative tinge.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Zach Williams - There Was Jesus vs Old Church Choir

By Timo Cuoco in Music Videos, Song of The Day | No Comments

I admit I stopped listening to radio in the late 90s. Most of it was due to the point that Christian radio changed formats. It just seems to have the same exact basic gospel message to every song. We were dead in sin, but God brings us to Him & so we praise Him for that. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but there is more to Christian music than just the same idea. Here is an artist who has been through a lot & sings about Jesus being there all the time.… Continued →

Light The Way "Expel" Out Now + Lyric and Audio Videos

By Brandon J. in News | No Comments

So, Light The Way dropped what many consider to be the best album of their careers back on Friday, “Expel”. The album is a no holds barred, action packed, passionate and altogether adrenaline charged love letter to the lost, lonely, and broken hearted. There truly is something for everyone in these songs and in these powerful lyrics. Not only is there fun and light hearted tongue in cheek humor, but there is also serious subject matter and a cry out to God to deliver us from our brokenness and our despair.… Continued →
