This new Spoken in Tongues song, “Lethal” dropped a couple weeks ago and I just have to say that it is without a doubt one of the best songs the band has ever written. The music video is genius and reminds me a lot of something straight out of the 90’s – fun, absurd, and light hearted filled with such immense joy. The song itself is upbeat but still riddled with that raw guitar yet poppy edge and Billy Power’s unique vocal stylings that sets them apart from the rest.… Continued →

I’m super excited to announce that Watashi Wa are returning in a big way here in 2026. The band reunited back in 2022 with their last album “People Like People” on Tooth & Nail Records. While that album certainly had some good moments this new track is the band’s return to their classic sound from the “The Love of Life” and “Eager Seas” era. The band just announced they have signed with Lost in Ohio for the release of the new single “I Am”.

Jason Dunn, former frontman for Hawk Nelson) is back with a long awaited solo release, “Formerly Known As…” and it is well worth the wait! Fans of pop-punk will not want to miss out on this one. When comparing this release to his previous work with Hawk Nelson, Jason Dunn has managed to retain the aspects of his sound that made Hawk Nelson as catchy and enjoyable as it was, but has also thrown in some newness here that makes this release familiar (but not too familiar) and exciting.… Continued →

We don’t often cover artists that are in the CCM mainstream, but this definitely warranted mention. It’s been years since Brandon has been pulling for a metal release from Jeremy Camp and up til now the closest thing I know of is a track called “Take My Life” off his debut release, “Stay”. That one, like this, is really more hard rock than metal. If you’re hesitant or skeptical, that’s understandable, most of his material tends to be fairly tame. But give this a listen, and see what you think.… Continued →

Somewhere around a year and a half ago, Sevendust guitarist Clint Lowery came to a place of faith in Christ. Since then, he’s been vocal about his newfound faith, encouraging others and sharing the hope we have in Jesus. When the band’s new album, “One”, was in the writing/recording stages, Clint had made mention that several of the songs on it would be faith-based and that is certainly evident. With the release of the album this past Friday, Clint shared the post below. Be sure to give a listen to the new Sevendust album (it’s insanely good) and keep the band in prayer.… Continued →

Drown the Planet is the band/project of Jason Wayne. While I’m unfamiliar with any other musical ventures of his, Drown the Planet is really something. There’s a fair mixture of genres I really enjoy to be found across his material on Spotify, from metalcore, to hard rock, to even some emo-ish stuff in there. The band/project just dropped a new track titled “Liar // Traitor” yesterday, which you can check out below, it’s pretty great! Be sure also to check out all the other material of his as well as the socials HERE.… Continued →

Before the start of this year, its been quite some time since we’ve heard from Hyland. About 12 years, to be more precise. The band doesn’t call this a comeback, but unfinished business. With new singles, “Younger Years”, “Tell It”, and “Dodged Your Bullet” (out today!), it’ll be great to hear what lies ahead and we’re really psyched to see them back! Hyland… Continued →

The name A.G. McIntosh may not be familiar to many of our readers, but those who have been following the punk underground for a while might have seen his name on a couple of different compilations. He had an entry in 2022’s Songs We’ve Been Trying to Tell You About Vol. II from Jesus Freak Hideout, and 2023’s Valley Churches United Benefit Compilation via Thumper Punk Records. And while the Houston native has enlisted the help of Kris Klein (Squad Five-0), ironically, he has shifted away from punk for his new material focusing on a singer-songwriter based rock approach with lyrics that are both introspective and reflective.… Continued →

Today saw the relase of the sophomore album from epic metalcore band, Unbroken Reign. The new album, “The Sins We Keep Alive”, is an absolute scorcher, building on what they did on “THRONES” (my #2 for Best Of 2025) in quite an impressive manner. More orchestral sounds and other effects interwoven with scathing riffs, melodies, screams, breakdowns, and so on. The release also features guest spots from Collective Dust, Bloodlines, and With Blood Comes Cleansing. Don’t sleep on this.… Continued →

Grace Graber has released an incredible pop-punk release, “Punk x Praise”. Working with Adam Agee (formerly Stellar Kart) in a management/mentor type role and Josiah Prince (Disciple) producing, “Punk x Praise” takes songs from Worship and CCM artists and punks them out and it really works beautifully. This album is a real treat for fans of pop punk and I’d say to be sure it’s one you don’t miss out on.… Continued →

*Originally posted on April Fools Day. Yes this was a joke and no, it’s not real* In what’s shaping up to be the news heard around the world right here at Indie Vision Music today, legendary punk band – Bad Religion, have collectively found Faith and accepted Jesus. The band announced on their secret 2nd social media account hidden on Truth Social that they have indeed found the Lord after years of wandering in the literal desert (it’s hot out there) searching for meaning beyond what just science can offer and that nature doesn’t always deliver.… Continued →

The term “supergroup” carries a lot of weight. It’s something which calls to mind the likes of superstar artists putting their prowess together in a synergistic way to reach beyond their current fanbases. You’ve got artists like Cream, The Raconteurs, The Highwaymen, DC Talk, or the more recent World Gone Cold. Most of these groups feature well-established artists. But what about a smaller, more independent scale? What about a handful of pensive singer-songwriters joining forces exploring the potential of remote collaboration? Enter Telephone Friends, a project made real during the COVID lockdowns and which saw its self-titled album go public in 2023.… Continued →
