Chad Johnson has been responsible for discovering so many wonderful bands/artists from his times at his own self-run record label Takehold Records all the way up to his time as A&R Director at one of the biggest independent labels of our time, Tooth & Nail Records (along with Solid State, and BEC). Not only that but Chad took a huge risk and started a ministry called “Come and Live” which has been instrumental in helping to share the love of Christ with people all across the world.… Continued →

Please support my friends Tim Hopkins and Chris Kuhner in getting the incredible independent Christian alt-rock station BrokenFM back up on the air. I absolutely love this station and support their efforts at putting positive, hopeful music out there in the world. BrokenFM lost their transmitting towers/equipment. BrokenFM has been kind to IVM recently in playing tracks from some of our artists both on air and through internet streaming. It’s a tragedy what happened back a month or two ago with those fires up North.… Continued →

ZAP Records has just released this new 3 song ep from eccentric noise-punk band called Dystopian Futures. It’s like some strange mix of Blenderhead “Muchacho Vivo” (album), Fugazi, The Locust, Sonic Youth, Frodus, Don’t Know, Showbread, Roadside Monument, and kazoo punk rock (seriously!). Through all the noise and advant-garde weirdness, there is this strange punk rock calling to my soul. I’m not usually a fan of the extremely indie noise punk stuff, not knocking it just stating that it doesn’t necessarily end up in playlists but I’m feeling the music here.… Continued →

While Anberlin remain as a much loved personal favorite and staple of my music diet, I can’t help but wonder if it has been just too short of time for a “reunion” to happen. What say you, is 3 years not enough time to have a full Anberlin reunion, tour, and album or should they wait a couple more years? I guess if Underoath can come back so soon, so can Anberlin. The members of Anberlin can all have their own unique spin off projects and solo stuff but nothing will ever compete in the same fashion with the mighty music of Anberlin.… Continued →
