It’s been nearly five years since Mind the Rap Volume 3 came out, but Illect is back with a new compilation and it’s “name your price” on bandcamp. The album features 19 tracks from the likes of James Gardin, Sivion, and Armond Wakeup, among others. Continued →
Turn off the TV, close your internet browsers, and put on the headphones, it’s time for a trip back in time. The critically underrated indie-emo-rock or whatever you would like to call them band, have decided to come out of retirement and write new songs. Continued →

I am excited to reveal the track listing for the new Craig’s Brother ep “Devils In The Details” (to be released soon on Indie Vision Music). The ep which comes 15 years after their last ep “Epidemic” shows a band building on the strength of their previous material while embracing the future and offering some thought provoking punk rock. Pre-Orders for the CD will go live as soon as we get a release date locked in. Things take time and quality is the most important so let’s all sit patiently waiting for the punk rock kings to knock one out of the park.
In part 1 of my most anticipated albums of 2019 feature I mostly focused on artists who have confirmed releases for 2019. This time my list will feature artists who seem likely to release new music in 2019 but have yet to make it official. Continued →

If you followed IVM during 2018 you probably discovered some new music from our news and new releases posts. You might have also been introduced to some new artists by our staff too. In case you missed any our “introduction” posts last year here’s all 20 artists our staff took time to share with you:
Bastard Tongue is a doom metal band featuring former members of Idealist. Continued →
It’s a new year and that means new music! Here’s a few of the releases I’m most excited about in 2019:
Mike Mains & The Branches – When We Were In Love
I’ve been waiting on this album for years now. Continued →
You might not be familiar with Old Solar, but you’re likely aware of My Epic and Attalus. Check out what this instrumental group has to offer with a first taste of their new EP.
I am pleased to announce that Indie Vision Music will release the new Ep and rightful comeback of the much loved and underrated emotional rock band, Slow Coming Day. The ep will be titled “1000 Years (Like a Day)” and will see release at a to be determined date in 2019. Continued →
I’d like to take a minute to introduce you all to a new metal band out of New Jersey named Through Veins. Their heavy, bombastic, and destructive new sound is sure to please any true metal music fan out there. Uplifting lyrics filled with pure spiritual truth is definitely going to inspire hope. Check out the first song “Genesis” below. The song will appear on the upcoming debut album titled “Immortality” which hits sometime in 2019.
This post is for the LOLs. Comedy hip-hop group, Free Daps, released some musical treats earlier this month. “White Tank Top Christmas” was even featured on Right This Minute. If you like that song, be sure to check out “Ugly Sweater Party” too. Continued →

Mr. Del recently released his new album, Black. “On God” gives a southern hip-hop taste and you can stream the song below. Black is available on Apple Music, Spotify, and other digital retailers.
Letter Kills just might be teasing a comeback. It’s a little soon to speculate what it could mean; a one-off reunion show? An new album? I recommend finding the band on their social networks like Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date with whatever is going on, because there certainly appears to be activity of some kind going on.

Jessieville, Arkansas is about the last place on earth I’d expect to discover a new artist. I’ve been there, the entire town is comprised of a high school, a post office, and a burger shack. Yet much to my surprise that’s exactly where the progressive rock band Census comes from. Continued →
Hard rock and nu metal fans rejoice! These 5 Down have returned! Preparing to release their first album in over 12 years, the band has released their first single, “Coming of the Son” off the upcoming release, “The 2nd Coming”. The single is a strong statement that the band is back with a vengeance. Continued →
I’ve been keeping up with all the Christmas music released since September. If you’re anything like me though you might not have gotten into the Christmas spirit quite that early. Luckily for you I’ve compiled all the Christmas music releases of 2018 into one master list. Continued →

Jerome Fontamillas of Switchfoot (and Fold Zandura/Mortal) has recently been diagnosed with Cancer. I think it would be great if all of us fans of Switchfoot, Fold Zandura, and Mortal (among other acts) join together in prayer for this man and his family. Continued →
The Prettybads have just released a brand new punk rock Christmas track “He Hates Christmas (But He Loves Me)” right here. Listen below. The song appears on “The Almighty Christmas Compilation for Fresh Festive Imaginations Vol. 1” which you can download for FREE at the link.
The long lost IVM compilation “A Very Indie Christmas Vol. 1” has reappeared from 2008 where it remained hidden and under lock and key for 10 years. The compilation hopped in the delorean and has met us here in 2018 without disrupting the space time continuum. Great Scott! Check out the FREE compilation below. This “Christmas” comp featured a ton of bands with some Christmas tracks and some just plain ROCKIN’ songs (not all of it is Christmas music). IVM was on a roll a decade ago with free compilations where I was regularly releasing them and putting them up for free on the old site. I got old and not as much time for creating this epic music so I’ve sort of gone back to the shadows. Anyway, if you like FREE music that’ll spread some holiday cheer then check this out. Remember, it’ll only be up to January 1st then it’ll be pulled down and put back in the vault to be enjoyed at a future date. Who wants a NEW one in 2019? [Thanks to Marco for sharing these long lost songs]
Names Without Numbers have just posted their brand new music video for this rockin’ song “Goodnight” over on YouTube. Check out the really cool new music video below. You can purchase/stream the band’s two new singles “Goodnight” and “The Apathy Anthem” at your favorite digital networks NOW! The band plans to work on their new full length soon with a release in 2019. If you like what you hear then keep on requesting “The Apathy Anthem” on your favorite radio stations (and add it to your playlists on Spotify).
Don’t you love that headline? Seriously though, I am so thankful for all of you listening to the music I put out in 2018, following the bands, requesting the tunes on your favorite stations, buying merch, and just for supporting Indie Vision Music this year. It has been an amazing ride. I still have that Craig’s Brother Ep on the way and then the rest of 2019 is up in the air. Currently working hard in my machining business and trying to figure out what to do next music wise. We are actually moving facilities to one down the street in Anaheim and yes that includes all the IVM merch (I ship from my real job). Anyway, check out the Billboard Christian Rock Radio Charts for this week and marvel at the sheer sight of infectious music invading the airwaves. Charts can be found below. This week Grandpa Loves Rhinos and Names Without Numbers both entered the main “Christian Rock National Airplay” chart in great positions. Keep requesting these tunes and let’s blow up 2019 in a big way. Don’t forget about new Craig’s Brother on the way. Thanks again everyone and God Bless you all this Christmas/New Years season.
This sounds pretty good. I missed out giving the last album a full listen and I’m deeply sorry. Check out the lyric video from the band Seventh Day Slumber for “Sins Of Our Fathers” below.
The alt-country/americana band, Some Dark Hollow, just released a brand new album titled “Out of Darkness”. It sounds really great and I think many of you will dig it. Check out the album below and make sure to purchase it right here (via bandcamp) on Vinyl or Digital.
