Names Without Numbers return from a long slumber to release their smashing 9 song epic album titled “Silos & Smokestacks”. The album is jam packed with solid indie-alt-emo-rock tunes as well as a cover of Taylor Swift’s “Style”. Don’t take my word for it, listen for yourself at your digital network of choice (or on CD by clicking here) and I guarantee this will be your highlight of the year. Visit the band on the web right here. Listen to two songs below via YouTube.… Continued →

Soul-Junk are one of those bands that are immensely difficult to keep up with. Incredibly prolific, they’ve released at least a dozen albums, and roughly 14 EPs. All of them are named after numbers, presumably years (mostly in the 1930s-1950s), but they don’t follow any logical sequential order. To make matters even more perplexing, often the LP releases have altogether different tracks or sequences from the CD versions of the same album. This is not to mention the way they float through styles and genres as if distinctions didn’t exist.… Continued →

Head over to PunkRockTheory.com to hear the brand new Names Without Numbers song, “Firing Squad”, in lyric video form right now. The song appears on the band’s brand new comeback album titled “Silos & Smokestacks” which hits digital and streaming outlets this Friday December 13th via Indie Vision Music. CDs available now from the IVM Webstore and shipping now.… Continued →

With just over two weeks left before Christmas now seems like the perfect time to share the Christmas playlist I’ve been working on with you. Since the beginning October I’ve been compiling all the new Christmas releases this year. Currently my count sits at 631 new Christmas songs this year. That’s a lot of new Christmas music! And while you could listen to all 20 new versions of “Joy to the World” if you wanted to, you might find my highly curated 2019 Christmas playlist a little less daunting.… Continued →

Folk really has to have something special if it’s going to catch my attention. Sure, there are a lot of great artists out there, but there are so many that it’s hard to stand out. A unique vocal, guitar prowess, or lyrics that hit that spot right in your gut that makes you either want to cry out at top of your lungs, or just really and truly live. Harrod and Funck managed all of that (their Mark Heard-produced full-length Dreams of the Color Blind is worth checking out in full if you like this style).… Continued →

Soon enough we’ll all be sharing our best of 2019 lists with you on IVM. But right now I’d like to take a minute to share few of the more unusual albums I came across during 2019. First up Youth Band Hits!: A Storybook-EP from Tyler Richardson. Tyler’s idea for the album was to recreate the youth group experience. And he does exactly that by blending six worship songs with a mix of interludes that are reminiscent of a youth group worship service. For example the album starts with a welcome from youth pastor Reggie Nelson who talks about his love of pizza while announcing the upcoming events before the track fades into the first song.… Continued →

A new band has just burst on to the scene. I got word of this on social media today and thought I’d share.

New music and info coming soon. I always dug Scott’s vocals so I know this is gonna be good. More info here.… Continued →

Have you heard? Huntingtons are back? I certainly can’t tell you to Get Lost well unless of course you got some nasty plastic surgery.

First of all, Furnace Fest will make a return in 2020 with an as yet to be determined/announced lineup….except in the case of BELOVED. Yep, the highly underrated Solid State Records band who released an Ep and Full length on Solid State Records (plus some other indie recordings pre-Solid State) before calling it quits with a few members joining other bands like Advent and The Almost (among others), IS BACK and ready to rock your faces off. The band have launched a special merch store right here, have new pics, and are planning more shows and maybe some recordings next year.… Continued →

Featuring ex-members of Jeremiah’s Grotto and pre-members of Rookie of the Year, emo band Farewell to Fashion disappeared just as quickly as they sprung up. They released one split EP with Inez called The Price of Fame (highly recommended), and then a full-length. Both were on Future Destination Records (Neutral Agreement, Hotshot Freight Train). “Morning Grey” highlights all that was great about third wave emo–raw, melodic, punkish, and at times sloppy, but always full of emotion. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q36TfdhF6UI… Continued →

It’s late October and I’m walking through Disney Springs in Orlando, FL to the House of Blues for the Victorious War tour featuring Alter Bridge and Skillet. It’s the second of two nights the tour is here and the last night of the tour altogether. I make my way through a shoulder to shoulder crowd trying to find anywhere I can stand and have a decent view without ruining someone else’s. Being 6’4” I ruin the view of most people I stand in front of. Crazy enough, there’s a spot I find that’s almost as if it was just waiting for me; back of the room (so I’m not directly in front of anyone), yet only 30 or so feet from the stage.… Continued →

I’m a sucker for this style of hardcore–really fast, short songs, with equal parts melody and anger thrown in for good measure. For some reason, this subgenre didn’t have nearly as much of a following in Christian circles as their secular counterparts, making Hit the Deck stand out even more. They released one full-length on Facedown imprint Strike First Records, and had a couple of demos as well, all of which can be found as digital downloads if you know where to look.… Continued →

One of Tooth & Nail’s newer signings, Paradise Now has been pretty well received with their debut ep, “Supernatural”, which was released just a couple months ago. Earlier today, the band released a video for the song, “Baptist”, which you can check out below. What do you think?… Continued →
