The band As We Are, are literally back! You might recall that this band released some indie material several years ago and even a release we sold in our online store at one time.

The band will release LP2 titled “This Isn’t The End; It’s Only The Beginning” via their new label home, Rottweiler Records on 9/28/23.… Continued →

A very special film based off For King & Country’s track “Unsung Hero” has just been announced from the studio Kingdom Story Company alongside Lionsgate. The film tells the powerful story about the family that launched the careers of artists like Rebecca St. James and For King & Country, who against all odds traveled from Australia to the U.S. to put down roots as a family of 9 and found a certain strength that shined through in their unshakeable Faith. The film is directed by Joel Smallbone of the group For King & Country and will star Joel Smallbone, and Daisy Betts as the father and mother in this true life story.… Continued →

Reese Roper, the charismatic vocalist and somewhat inspiring lyricist of some of the biggest songs the music scene has never heard by a little band the 90’s cared about called Five Iron Frenzy, just got interviewed by crew over at the “Labeled” Podcast. You can listen to a clip below via Spotify or listen wherever you stream your podcasts. Also, the band has put together a total dumpster fire of a box set on really crappy vinyl and it is available right here. I believe the box set is only available for purchase for a few more weeks so get it while it’s a steaming, flaming, pile of poo.… Continued →

My pals in Light The Way just dropped their brand new music video last week for the song “Life Makes No Sense” and it’s full of that nostalgia driven rage that battles through hopelessness and despair while ultimately finding solace in hope. This is the band’s latest single and a hint of things to come. Check out the music video below this message.… Continued →

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 →

A band we may have missed sharing called “Unworthy“, recently released an EP titled “Where Light Divides” through Rottweiler Records back in April and we think you should give them a listen.

Newly signed to Rottweiler Records, the hardcore band xDoulosx out of Southern California just dropped their label debut titled “Birth Pains” and it is available on all digital networks now. Check out the title track featuring Jon Davenport of Cultist, below. This is heavy, raw, and strikes me with that classic hardcore rhythmic sound.

The band is heading out on some dates with Convictions and Confessions of a Traitor pretty soon. Check out the tour flyer below.

What is your favorite song on “Slow Suicide”?… Continued →

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 →

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 →

This dumpster fire of a box set is sure to break the wallets of Five Iron fans across the world but also allow existing Five Iron vinyl owners to customize their order options and buy what they really need, food! Enough with that inflation, what we need is good old crappy third wave ska punk in vinyl format! The most exciting part for myself is the addition of “The End is Near” on vinyl for the first time plus “Proof That The Youth Are Revolting” and a really cool B-Sides record chock full of songs no one cares about.… Continued →

Gametime just dropped a surprise new song titled “Aspire (Create The Future)” which you can listen to below. The song is available now on all digital networks. Find the band on Instagram @gametime_kc. Their sound kind of ends up between Yellowcard, Over It, State Champs, At The Wayside, Home Grown, New Found Glory, and older Relient K but a completely fresh and original take.… Continued →
