Carman Homage - Our Turn Now

By Timo Cuoco in Articles, Music Videos, Video Flashback | 3 Comments

This is an impromptu review in homage of Carman’s passing. For those who may not know who he is, he was a singer/songwriter/performer whose music was all over contemporary Christian radio in the 80’s & 90’s. He did many ballads, but also dabbled with rock & rap & even kids music.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Norma Jean - Bayonetwork: Vultures in Vivid Color

By Graham Wall in Video Flashback | 6 Comments

Norma Jean’s upcoming record, All Hail, releases next week on October 25. Truth be told, I only listened through O’ God, the Aftermath (2005) for the first time this year, and was very impressed by its balance of chaos and complexity. As we anticipate All Hail, here is a classic song from one of 2005’s metalcore masterpieces.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Spoken - Falling Further

By Graham Wall in Video Flashback | 5 Comments

Some music videos deserve to be shared, even if they’re only 144p. “Falling Further” by Spoken tells a story of prodigality, placing emphasis on feelings of regret and the rejection of God’s love. While the band has a lot of great songs, I always thought the chorus for “Falling Further” was particularly strong in its emotional communication.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Theory Hazit - Unforgivable

By Graham Wall in Video Flashback | No Comments

“Ain’t been to church in about a year / All my old friends are outta here” I finally got around to listening through The Fall of the Light Bearer (2015) this year, and it’s turned out to be one of the best albums I’ve heard as of late. Serious lyricism and experimental production abound.… Continued →

Song of the Day: GS Megaphone - Dream

By Graham Wall in News, Video Flashback | 2 Comments

Take me past familiar waters to a place so deep / it reserves itself for the eyes of those who dream. “Dream” by GS Megaphone communicates the essence of God-as-artist, the One in whom “we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28). Taken from their album Beautiful World (2003), it is a reminder that God is the source of all creativity.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Number One Gun - This Holiday

By Graham Wall in Video Flashback | 2 Comments

The North Pole Project (2008) wasn’t supposed to be a Number One Gun album. Rather, this was once the name of vocalist/guitarist Jeff Schneeweis’ solo project in the aftermath of Number One Gun’s breakup. In any case, The North Pole Project is a beautiful indie rock anthem. Not only did Schneeweis play every instrument on the album, but he also produced and mixed it.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Starflyer 59 - We're the Ordinary

By Graham Wall in Video Flashback | 2 Comments

Remember “Cooler Than Me” by Mike Posner? That song used to be really cool in 2010 and was popular enough to be played at shopping malls. But maybe, perhaps, you thought yourself cooler than Mike Posner, despite his single having a lot of pizzazz and swagger. Fair enough. Well, I hate to break it to you, but Starflyer 59 is actually cooler than both of you.… Continued →

Song of the Day: The Devil Wears Prada - My Questions

By Graham Wall in Video Flashback | 4 Comments

I became a fan of The Devil Wears Prada in 2011. There were many reasons for this: peer pressure via a friend, the positive review in HM Magazine, and Dan Seagrave’s dark and mysterious artwork. Dead Throne made me realize what I’d been missing out on. It’s near impossible to choose a favourite song from a near perfect album, but in my iTunes library, “My Questions” has the most plays.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Shane Newville - Roll Out

By Graham Wall in Video Flashback | No Comments

Remember Syntax Records, the label that put out awesome underground hip-hop like RedCloud, the Night Owls compilations, and Sackcloth Fashion? Well, sometimes the label released music from other genres, too. This included rock bands like Green Olive Tree and Olivia the Band, and on other occasions, electronic music. Today I’d like to share a song from Formless (2007) by Shane Newville, titled “Roll Out.”… Continued →

Song of the Day: Lucerin Blue - Chorus of the Birds

By Graham Wall in Video Flashback | 5 Comments

Here’s a song from Canada’s own, Lucerin Blue, who released Tales of the Knife in 2003 on Tooth & Nail Records. While the album is stacked with great alternative rock songs, “Chorus of the Birds” resonates. One of these reasons, I think, is that it was also featured on The Nail, Vol.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Further Seems Forever - Monachetti

By Graham Wall in Video Flashback | 6 Comments

For whatever reason, The Moon is Down (2001) is rather inaccessible these days. It’s not on Spotify, or iTunes (R.I.P.), or Apple Music (edit: I’m from Canada). Yet, the quality of the album remains intact after 18 years. It took me all too long to hear “Monachetti,” given I own their compilation Hope This Finds You Well which excludes the track.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Mortal - Mujo (Uncertainty Mix)

By Graham Wall in Video Flashback | 8 Comments

Sometimes the songs that sound least like a band as a whole are their best songs. Mortal’s Nu-En-Jin (2002) is not a particularly calming album. They like to use a lot of distortion, and with the postmodern lyrics and spooky samples, this can make for a claustrophobic listen. However, “Mujo (Uncertainty Mix)” is about as chill as electronica can get, and reminds me of the perfect autumn day.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Andy Hunter - Radiate

By Graham Wall in Video Flashback | 2 Comments

You might be familiar with a couple of Andy Hunter’s songs. “Go” and “The Wonders of You” have been featured in video games and movies like SSX 3, Need for Speed Underground, and The Italian Job. However, 2002s Exodus is far from a one-hit wonder; every song on the album is brilliant.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Bobby Bishop - A Song for Amy

By Graham Wall in Video Flashback | No Comments

“A Song for Amy” is a sobering song which focuses on issues of sexual assault and the problem of evil. “Why do bad things have to happen to good people?” is the oft-repeated question. Bobby Bishop, who is not only a musician but also a social worker, included this incredible song on his 2003 album The Hip-Hop Alternative (Community’s Call).… Continued →

Song of the Day: Plankeye - Open House

By Loyd Harp in Music Videos, News, Video Flashback | 5 Comments

Amazingly, this song is now 23 years old, and I still feel the same way about it as I did back then. It’s a fantastic song, and one of the highlights of the Christian alternative rock scene! Plankeye’s first album (“Spill”) was raw and unrefined, showing hints of Orange County punk. … Continued →

Song of the Day: Smoke - Saylavee

By Graham Wall in Video Flashback | 2 Comments

Emo is not limited to rock; it can be hip-hop, too. Here is a song from an album that has remained far under the radar – even for underground hip-hop – since its release in 2006. Smoke is a member of Oldominion, a Northwest collective with over 20 members. While Oldominion are outside the margins of Christian music, Smoke’s solo release Bleed is more Christocentric in its lyrics.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Stavesacre - Gold & Silver

By Brandon J. in News, Video Flashback | 8 Comments

I’m starting a new feature here at IVM that’ll focus on a beautiful, important, and defining song for a particular band. Let’s start this feature off right and put the focus on the music of Stavesacre, particularly the song “Gold & Silver”. I remember 20 years ago hearing this album (Speakeasy) which had this almost “ballad” like track named “Gold & Silver” then being struck in the heart heavily by it’s somber melodies, inspired lyrical delivery, and that unmistakable voice of Mark Salomon.… Continued →

Thrice - Red Sky

By Brandon J. in Video Flashback | 2 Comments

On this slow Sunday I figured I’d do a little video flashback from the band Thrice. This song “Red Sky” appeared on the band’s 2005 full length effort, “Vehissu“. Following up the chart topping, fan favorite “The Artist in the Ambulance” seemed like a troublesome task but take a skilled band like Thrice and the end result further proved that the band’s prior success was definitely no “fluke”.… Continued →

IVM Old School Hits

By Brandon J. in News, Video Flashback | No Comments

I am currently working to build up some “Old School Hits” on the Indie Vision Music Youtube page and thought i’d share some with you. Check out the playlist below and be sure to subscribe to our channel. … Continued →

MxPx - Doing Time

By Brandon J. in News, Video Flashback | No Comments

Today’s Video Flashback is of classic MxPx track “Doing Time” off the “Life In General” album (1996/Tooth & Nail Records). It’s amazing to think that Life in General just turned 20 last month. So crazy how fast time flies. Speaking of MxPx, they recently released a “Live” film from their Observatory shows in 2015 and the band has a rare single that was part of their campaign for the live film that you can hear below.… Continued →

Children 18:3 - All My Balloons

By Brandon J. in Video Flashback | Comments closed

I haven’t done a Video Flashback in ages. Sorry about that, been busy and what not. So without further waiting, I bring you this “classic” video from Children 18:3 off their first album for the song “All My Balloons” (Tooth & Nail Records). Which Children 18:3 album is your favorite?… Continued →

Plankeye - B.C.

By Brandon J. in Video Flashback | Comments closed

Today’s Video Flashback is from the band Plankeye and their song “B.C.” off the “Commonwealth” album (1996 Tooth & Nail). “Commonwealth” is still my favorite Plankeye album. Their songwriting was just so great and every song from the Scott Silletta days is a gem. Scott Silletta (Lead Vocals/Guitar) played on 4 Plankeye albums before quitting shortly after the release of their 1997 album “The One and Only”.… Continued →

Anberlin - Paperthin Hymn

By Brandon J. in Video Flashback | Comments closed

I am a little late on today’s Video Flashback and I do apologize. Today’s Video in the Video Flashback series is “Paperthin Hymn” by the band Anberlin. This song appears on the band’s 2005 Tooth & Nail release, “Never Take Friendship Personal”. How many Anberlin fans do we have here?… Continued →

Driver Eight - Strange

By Brandon J. in Video Flashback | Comments closed

Today’s Video Flashback is from the band Driver Eight and their song “Strange”. The album “Watermelon” was released on Tooth & Nail Records back in 1996. They only released one album then called it quits. It was a shame because they had major potential to be the next huge alt-rock band.… Continued →

The Dingees - Chaos Control

By Brandon J. in Video Flashback | Comments closed

Today’s Video Flashback is from The Dingees for their track “Chaos Control” (off “Armageddon Massive 1998 BEC Recordings). These guys were somewhat of a “super group” when they first formed. The band originally had members of The OC Supertones in the band before they were signed. Then Ethan Luck (Relient K, Demon Hunter, Value Pac, Project 86, Pax, etc.)… Continued →

Officer Negative - End of the Beginning

By Brandon J. in Video Flashback | Comments closed

Today’s Video Flashback is from Officer Negative. The first video is “End of the Beginning” (1996 Screaming Giant Records). The second video is from their recent reunion show last summer at The Stronghold. The quality on the Screaming Giant music videos were always kind of lo-fi since they were filmed in house by the G-Rock crew.… Continued →

Fireflight - You Decide

By Brandon J. in Video Flashback | Comments closed

Today’s Video Flashback is from Fireflight with their 2006 song “You Decide” off “The Healing of Harms” (Flicker Records 2006). The band has come a long way (for better or worse) since their early days. Celebrate the music of Fireflight and make sure you pick up their latest album “Now” wherever music is sold.… Continued →

Watashi Wa - All of Me

By Brandon J. in Video Flashback | Comments closed

Today’s Video Flashback is from the band Watashi Wa with their song “All of Me” off the album “The Love of Life” (2003 Tooth & Nail Records). Members of this band have gone to play with Eager Seas, Lakes and Bonnie Dune. Seth even played guitar for Mxpx on a few tours.… Continued →

The Insyderz - Jigsaw

By Brandon J. in Video Flashback | Comments closed

Today’s Video Flashback is from Detroit Ska band, The Insyderz, and their song “Jigsaw” from the 1998 album “Fight Of My Life” (KMG Records). The band recently announced that they have begun recording their new album, “The Sinner’s Songbook” which will hopefully see a release later this year.… Continued →

Dakota Motor Co - Stand Up

By Brandon J. in Video Flashback | Comments closed

Today’s Video Flashback is from the female led Alt-Rock band from the early 90’s, Dakota Motor Co. The song is “Stand Up”, off their “Welcome Race Fans” album (1994 Myrrh Records). The band released two major full lengths with original singer, Davia before she eventually quit and a new singer was brought in for their final album in 1996 (Atlantic Records).… Continued →
