Seth Davey, a former member of the late great post-hardcore/indie band, Attalus, has returned with another collection of songs under his name, this one titled “Hymns in Hindsight”. He has launched a new kickstarter here and will be donating 1/2 the money rasied on kickstarter to Ashe County, North Carolina relief efforts which has been devastated by Hurricane Helene a few weeks ago and of which he shares a common story with the people and land there. Consider supporting this Kickstarter and you’ll be blessed with not only some amazing and beautiful music I might add but also see some of your money go to a great cause and help people in that part of the country who desperately need our help.… Continued →

Today’s Song of the Day post is a little bittersweet. It’s a great song but comes with unfortunate ties to a region so devastated by Hurricane Helene. The song is titled “Appalachia” and is about life living in that region of the country around the beautiful Appalachian mountains and the many towns along that path. This rings oh so true… “And for those of us who daily struggle…daily struggle with the past. The best medicine is the gospel and a whiskey glass”. I figured the song, the band, and this post were relevant due to the many struggles of the residents right now, particularly in North Carolina and Tennessee especially.… Continued →

Wisconsin: most known for cheese curds, dairy farms, glacial lakes, and the Green Bay Packers. It’s also home to pop-punk band Alakrity (nowadays known as At the Wayside). We’re digging deep into the band’s archive for this track. “For the Good of Getting Better” comes from their debut release, 2007’s You Are Here EP. The track features sugary-sweet melodies and fast tempos, the two main hallmarks of the genre. The song also features some really cool vocal harmonies and lots of start-stop rhythms and tempo changes.… Continued →

Check out this beautiful and sentimental new music video from Santa Cruz, CA. based pop-punk band – Too Bad Eugene. The track is “Astronomical” and features frontman Adam Nigh’s daughter Mercy Nigh. It’s a sweet video and done well, showing the connection between father and daughter much like the song itself. The song is off the band’s most recent album, “Battle Scars” (People of Punk Rock Records). As a bonus, I spy an Indie Vision Music Tshirt on a member. Do you see it? Which member?… Continued →

One of the finest acts of the Jesus Music era, The Crimson Bridge formed in 1970. While the origins of the band were in the Gospel vocal group The Spurrlows, The Crimson Bridge’s sounds and influences were much more diverse. Sure they dabbled in the typical folk music sounds of the Jesus Movement, but they also added jazz-funk, prog rock, and psychedelic rock on their debut (and only) album, eponymously titled and released in 1972 on then-fledgling Myrrh Records. “Comin'” is the third track on the album and focuses on the return of Jesus.… Continued →

The EP release the majority of us who’ve following this band have been waiting for, is finally here! Names Without Numbers which is a personal favorite band of mine (like you couldn’t tell), are releasing the best music they’ve ever done and even though it’s just an ep, these songs add a extra punch to an already glowing display of music in their two decades long career as a band. The depth of writing, the production, the variety in sounds on these songs are nothing short of extraordinary.… Continued →

This beast of a tune dropped in 2017, from Melech, a side-project of two members of Pantokrator (with Ricke Gustafsson handling all instruments and Karl Walfridsson on vocals and lyrics). The Swedish melodeath duo tread similar waters as their counterparts, but emphasize the melodic aspects of death metal even more strongly. I’m highlighting the English lyric version of the song here, but there is also a Swedish version. “Befriare” is Swedish for “liberator” and refers to the freedom Jesus won through his atoning sacrifice and resurrection from the dead, and yet also points to the hope of future resurrection for all who die in the Lord.… Continued →

Protect Your Heart are back with another brand new song, this one titled “Speed Run”. Since everyone hates the term “easycore” and I get crap for it let’s just say it’s heavy pop-punk and it’ll leave you amped up and thirsting for more. This band absolutely rules and if you haven’t give them a listen yet, do it now! Lyric video for the new song can be found below this post.… Continued →

Chainstay return with a brand new song titled “Take The Caseyville Exit”. We are dropping the band’s music video for this song below this post. This emotionally charged emo-pop-punk new school anthem is sure to bring a smile to the faces of both purists and cynics alike. If you like driving melodies, adrenaline fueled and loud instrumentation along with vocals that’ll move you, then Chainstay is your band. This isn’t annoying, irritating, and a devoid of all meaning tune that’ll leave you empty inside and wishing you had more caffeine.… Continued →

The band will have limited supply of the sold out variant at Furnace Fest so make sure to track them down and prepare to Git Snake Bit!… Continued →

This industrial/rock/metal band has been making music since 1996 and has created a slew of albums with varying degrees of electronic elements in their sound. Some albums have had an inclination towards straight industrial, whereas others more hard rock/alternative metal. “So Inspired” is from the band’s early era, dating to 1998 and was included on a number of compilations from both Blacklight Records and Flaming Fish Music. There are a couple of different versions of the song available. This version is taken from the I Wear the Mask album.… Continued →
