Delirious? - My Soul Sings DVD/CD

While the live DVD isn’t the best I’ve seen even within the CCM world, it does help show a fantastic performance from Delirious.

I Am Empire - s/t

Kinda like a good long hockey scrap... there's a whole lot about I Am Empire's upcoming release to smile about.

mewithoutYou - Catch for Us the Foxes

Since new releases have been a bit slow I've decided to start writing some reviews for older releases that don't currently have one. First up is the 2004 classic album, Catch for Us the Foxes, by mewithoutYou. Their new release coming out on May 19th is highly anticipated, but if you haven't checked the band out yet this album is the place to start. Read on to see if it catches your interest!
