PAX217 was a favorite of mine years ago. Last year, they played with The O.C. Supertones at their last show and had it recorded for a live album. Today, PAX217 has been kind enough to make this album available FREE! However, if you were to pay certain amounts, you can get some bonus goodies, such as an unreleased demo track called “Weightless”, photos, and even the video from the show. Make sure you guys jump on this, it’s sure to be great. See the bands Facebook post below.… Continued →

While VEAUX‘s first single really isn’t a new song (it’s their last song released under the Medic moniker), this time it’s accompanied by a video. Ultimately, it’s just another great opportunity for readers to get acquainted with this energetic indie pop trio that surely has a bright future ahead. … Continued →

Over the Ocean‘s last release is almost five years behind us now. “Be Given to the Soil” was a heavy blend of post-rock and post-hardcore paired with gritty baritone vocals. Think if John Mark McMillan sang for My Epic. It’s always refreshing when a band takes an unconventional route in conveying faith-based topics in an nontraditional context – and that’s certainly something these men do well. Thankfully they’re back and working on brand new music. Be sure to follow them on social media for more updates and check out a track from their last album below to get a good taste of what they offer.… Continued →

Tooth and Nail recently announced the signing of a band called Off Road Minivan. Now, I’m going to be brutally honest here, and it may just be a matter of opinion, but these days I really haven’t found much coming out of Tooth & Nail that I like. In this case however, I decided to take the chance and give these guys a shot and was very glad I did. Off Road Minivan are a band out of Red Hook, NY with a lineup that includes Fit For A King bassist, Ryan O’Leary.… Continued →

We haven’t heard much from James McCurley’s solo project, Black Pages, for several years. His first EP was a promising mix of ambient, pop, and singer/songwriter, but his new single, Back Down, takes things up a few notches. Much like his previous tracks, Back Down is largely subdued and a bit pensive, though it feels a bit more stream-of-consciousness as well. Pop sensibility is mixed with a manner of progression, with no discernible chorus, changing tempos, and vocals reminiscent of Silver Sun Pickups. It’s proof that pop music does not need to be predictable nor inane.… Continued →

The album technically dropped on November 22nd last year, but it only made it’s way to Apple Music and Spotify this month. If you’re like me and didn’t get around to listening to it before, now is the time!… Continued →
