For my Song of the Day this time round, we’re going back. Like way back. To the beginning of Jesus rock. It’s widely accepted that Larry Norman is the “godfather of Christian rock” and you can make a reasonable case for that. But he wasn’t the first. Several other bands and artists were contemporary with him, including Liverpool’s own The Crossbeats, Agape, and the All Saved Freak Band. Arguably the first rocker, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, was also a Christian and a gospel artist, plugging in her electric guitar long before Bill Haley and the Comets set on the scene.… Continued →

My song for the day is from a newer indie-pop artist by the name of Teddy At Night. Teddy (Boldt) played drums for bands like Wavorly, Family Force 5, and more recently For King & Country, as well as many others. On his first solo endeavor as singer/songwriter, his songs take on more of a pop sheen, sprinkled with a heavy dose of 80’s like synth driven new wave. These are songs for the broken-hearted, the lovers, and the seekers. These beautifully composed pop inspired takes are interwoven with a certain level of professionalism mixed with Teddy’s unforgettable vocal delivery.… Continued →

In a somewhat surprising move, Righteous Vendetta dropped an old/new album this weekend. “Not Dead Yet” is an album that was apparently rejected by their label (…why??) at the time (2015), but has now been released by the band independently. If you’re a fan of hard rock, don’t sleep on this. Check it out wherever you get your music these days.… Continued →

This obscure black metal band only issued a handful of releases from 2008-2011, before shunning Christian lyrical themes for their final release in 2014. “Howls of Worship” is taken from their self-titled EP and also appears on the full-length To Known Hell (what is it with extreme metal’s deliberate use of incorrect grammar?), and is a full-on black metal worship anthem: Come let us worship and bow down Let us kneel before the Lord our maker Come let us worship and bow down to our maker While it’s awesome to have a full-on worship song in the extreme metal format, that is not the track’s sole accomplishment.… Continued →

Kevi Morse is a hip-hop artist, DJ, and entrepreneur. When describing his latest single, he shares: I wrote “Black Boy” from a place of encouragement. The song shines light on all the injustices and what it’s like to be a person of color (POC). I hope this song helps the masses find hope and peace, while understanding we’re all equal. #Blacklivesmatter “Black Boy” is available now on your favorite digital retailer or streaming service.

Another album celebrating it’s 10 year anniversary is “Dark Is the Way, Light Is a Place” by the world renown alternative rock band, Anberlin. This Brendan O’Brien produced full length effort (their 5th album by 2010) was a slight departure from the sunny, bright, more upbeat sounds of their commercial break through record, “New Surrender”. One of the stand out highlights from this album was definitely “Pray Tell”, with it’s thundering drum intro and light guitar strumming mixed with Stephen’s unforgettable vocal contributions.… Continued →

It’s hard to believe it has been 10 years since the release of the first Close Your Eyes album on Victory Records – “We Will Overcome”. This album had a ton of great songs including this one called “The Body”, which is a favorite of mine and perfect for this Song of the Day post. Melodic hardcore and punk combine to make a furious blend of energetic singing and screaming all delivered in one healthy dose. “The Body” has inspiring lyrics and a solid message felt through the music.… Continued →

Rebecca St. James, a legend in her own right, is back with her first NEW song in 9 years titled “Battle Is The Lord’s”. Check out the lyric video for this really catchy electronic driven new track. This has more in common with Ellie Goulding and For King & Country than her prior more contemporary elevator pop music. This is really great stuff (in my opinion). The song also features Brandon Lake of Bethel Music. Rebecca St James will release her new EP through Heritage Music soon.… Continued →

For fans of old Blink 182, NOFX, Sponge, Jane’s Addiction, Weezer, Home Grown, Weird Al, and MXPX. Check it out below.… Continued →

Lovers of traditional, old school death metal will know there is a significant lack of it coming from bands with a Christian worldview. The reasons for this are complex, and we won’t get into them here, except to say that it probably has something to do with the lyrical themes that often accompany their secular counterparts: death, gore, and the occult all being regular topics. Minnesota’s Crimson Thorn have often led the way in Christ-centered brutal death metal. Building on work from predecessors like Australia’s Mortification, CT got even heavier and unlike the boys from down under, Crimson Thorn didn’t dabble in other styles.… Continued →

Over the course of the quarantine, Jason Wisdom has kept busy, putting out 2 new songs from Death Therapy and now introduces a third metalcore track under the heading, “The Reversalist”.

They released their critically acclaimed full length “Phantoms” in 2005. The first new single “Cold Air”, will be out next week through all digital networks. What is your favorite Acceptance song?… Continued →

Two special things are happening next month, the 20th anniversary of Indie Vision Music and the 20th anniversary re-release of the debut EP from my pals in Names Without Numbers! This 20th anniversary edition re-release features re-imagined artwork, and a remastered version of all 5 songs found on the EP. Available digitally and possibly on Vinyl. It is a beautiful snapshot of a particular time in music history. This band at that time filled the void between early bands like Jimmy Eat World, The Juliana Theory, Thursday, Further Seems Forever, Taking Back Sunday, and Brandtson.… Continued →

Slow Coming Day “Quarantine Sessions” dropped 2 weeks ago and is making a splash in the hearts of indie music fans across the globe. This acoustic driven indie rock release features new and old songs all re-imagined and created during the quarantine lock down. Orion Walsh knows how to create a moving, beautiful song and this release is certainly no exception. I strongly recommend the songs “Father, Friend”, “Watching LA Fall Apart”, “Loneliness Settles In” and “A Mere Accident (Revisited)”. Orion Walsh and bandmates plan to play a few backyard/lawn parties this summer and hopefully make an appearance at a fest or two.… Continued →

I’d like to take a moment and introduce our readers to this cool new industrial/electronic/rock project known as Mahalath. The project features dark sounds and industrial like moodiness running through with fists in the air like urgency. Making one think isn’t always at the forefront of some artists in the music scene but Joel Holycross (Mayfly) and this new project is certainly a different take on substance in music. Read more below and listen to the first song “The Proxy”.… Continued →
