Happy PAX217 Day! PAX217 remains one of my favorite bands to this day and I always find myself wishing we had more from them. Unfamiliar? PAX217 brings an eclectic mix of sounds throughout their library. Hard rock, reggae, hip hop…its a strong mix and often draws comparisons to bands like 311, P.O.D. and Earthsuit. According to the band’s socials media posts, a livestream is planned for tonight on Zoom (see below). You can find the link in the band’s bio. So blast some PAX nice and loud today and swing out for the livestream later!… Continued →

Melodic Skate Punk band RELIANCE AZ are back and better than ever with their fiery and explosive, politically charged new anthem “Take Cover”. The song explores all the current events, political upheaval, and divisiveness through a modern lens of the hope and redemption found only in Christ Jesus. Peace through strength found not in any one Government but only in our Lord. “Take Cover” will bring the listener on a melodic punk journey with plenty of sing a long choruses, some brief rapping at the beginning, and even a hardcore breakdown.… Continued →

Recently I was given a tip about a new(er) band called floodlit. One of the best tips in recent memory. floodlit is a Los Angeles based post-hardcore/metalcore band, in the vein of Thrice, Defeater, Norman Jean, Deftones, Emery, Saosin, Spiritbox, BMTH, etc. By the band’s description, heavy music for a heavy purpose.   To date, there are two singles titled “AMa” and “AKo” released with accompanying videos (see below). The tracks are a sampling of what’s to come when the band drops their debut album later this year.… Continued →

Ok so Small Step Record’s band COLD STREETS just released their brand new song “Over and Over” and it’s one of the best new tracks of 2026!

Fans of indie popsters The Julies have good reason to celebrate. Lost in Ohio (who released Always & Always in 2023, and re-issued the much-loved Love Life on vinyl in 2020) has announced two new releases from the band, both set for February 27th of this year. A brand new full-length will emerge, entitled Cherisher, described as leaning “fully into reflection, memory, and meaning, delivering a deeply personal collection about holding on, on purpose . . . The album draws from shimmering post-punk urgency and ’90s shoegaze-influenced walls of sound, allowing Alex and Pat, both playing multi-instrumentalist these days, a chance to repurpose the past as well.”… Continued →

Chilean band Dustt operate in the doom/stoner metal vein (the genre, not necessarily the lifestyle choice). They have been active at least since 2010, when their debut album Testigos de Dolor first released. An eponymous album followed in 2011, through Martyrdom Records. A remastered version was issued in 2012, as well as another album Refugio the same year. Both of the latter are available for digital download or streaming via Bandcamp (Dustt). I don’t know if the band is still active, but it would be great if they are, as there are not enough faith-oriented bands playing in this style.… Continued →

25 Years of Indie Vision Music: Blood, Sweat, Tears, and Perseverance I began this write up back in June of this year and it has taken me more than half the year to finish it. It has been a crazy and chaotic year with everything that has taken place in my personal life. Much of it was good and surprising and some other parts have been well, rather stressful. Now as we approach Christmas I am met with my home in escrow, another home to move into, planning a wedding in April 2026, and the passing of my late grandmother on December 23rd.… Continued →

All in all, I thought 2025 was a pretty good year for music! There were a few bands I’d hoped to hear some new material from and didn’t. There were a few I didnt expect to hear from whatsoever…but we did! Then, there were even a few new bands and artists I’d never heard of before who popped up on the radar and made some really great music! As we move into 2026, I most certainly have some big expectations for the new year, as I have for years and years prior, but will they be met?… Continued →
