Chasing Eden - The Dying Place
This 4-song EP packs some great female-fronted rock-tastic goodness.
Encomium - The Day Love Came
I was tempted to use the phrase: funny name, great music... but it turned out to be a really cool name... and great music.

Incrave - Dead End
Finally a review of Incrave. After having it for a few months and the CD continuously getting lost under all the others I have picked up. I saw it today and decided it was time to not let it pass me by again. So, many apologies to Brandon for this one taking so freaking long.

Jars of Clay - Jars of Clay
Here is yet another flashback review just in time for the release of Jars of Clay's new album 'The Long Fall Back to Earth'. If you still have yet to give them a try then there's no better album to start with than this self-titled debut released way back in 1995.

As Cities Burn - Hell or High Water
My review of the anticipated album from As Cities Burn titled Hell or High Water.
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. The music here and on the CD is a step above most of their contemporaries, especially in the faltering worship genre, and the band’s insistence on a faith that is lived out and not just talked about couldn’t be more needed in the Church today.
J'espere - Live As Loud As You Can
Check out what I have to say about indie rock band J'espure

Constella - s/t
Well-crafted electro-pop with a heart for God.
Distal - Tomorrow May
If you're at all into well-polished modern rock, you owe it to yourself to check these guys out.
Child Like Faith - s/t
Child Like Faith is all about four young men with big dreams... not to mention the God-given ability to craft some sweet music.
The Earth And Everything In It - The Healer's Hands, The Beggar's Palms
Old school hardcore tailored to the new school ear. The Earth And Everything In It will have you rocking hard... and wondering how much they spend on throat lozenges.
