If you haven’t heard Gold, Frankincense, & Myrrh yet, you’re late to the party. GFM is a band of sisters from Jacksonville who’ve really made a nice mark on the Christian hard rock scene which the “Death of Giants” ep and “Identity Crisis” full length are clear cut evidence of.

Brandon included New Surrender in his list of the best albums of 2008 feature last month, here’s what he had to say about it: There was a time years ago where I ripped the direction Anberlin took with this album and I now regret those words. This was a polished, commercial sounding record but the songs resonated with me and listeners across the globe.… Continued →

I’ve seen this posted around facebook/instagram and I wanted to our support as well. Josh Auer who has been an active member of the music scene for over 2 decades now and has played with groups like Pax217, OC Supertones, Avner, Phil Wickham, and more recently his own project CHPTRS, has had the unfortunate task of caring for a very ill young child named “Rowen”, alongside his wife Amanda.

The group has just offered a behind the scenes glimpse of just why it is they returned with this new album after a nearly 25 year absence from new recorded music. The fact that their music has endured for different generations and continued to influence youth who are now adults with families of their own is testament to the power of music and Faith.… Continued →

Heartbreak is certainly abundant in many modern songs, but rarely do songs tackle the subject with pure vulnerability. “Bang”, the first single from Moda Spira‘s (Latifah Alattas) upcoming album, Divorce, is a weighty, soulful track.

So this video was released back in January of this year along with their new album “The North Star” and I must say that it is a heavy hitter. I can’t believe I overlooked this release and didn’t give it proper promotion right here on IVM. Remedy Drive have created music that is deep and rich in content, overflowing with complex symbolism and a certain sense of urgency. You don’t come across music like this in Christian music scene all that often and I really enjoy this track as well as the album.… Continued →

UPDATE:  Switchfoot has confirmed the end of their hiatus in a new video and announced that the journey begins 10/19/2018! Original Post: Switchfoot have taken to social media to tease album number 11. The band uploaded an picture of an “11” last night leaving fans to guess what it means. Naturally one can only assume they’re teasing their 11th studio album, but after the April Fool’s Day video teasing metal cover of “Meant to Live” it’s anybody’s guess. Speaking of that video though, it referred to “Project 11” and teased a October 2018 release date.… Continued →

Prepare to feel old. After reading Brandon’s feature “The Best of 2008: 10 Years, A Look Back” a few weeks ago I’ve been digging through my music collection looking for more albums celebrating their 10 year anniversary only to realize 2008 was a great year for music! Which made me decide it’s time we give some of these great albums from the past the recognition they deserve. So naturally I hijacked the popular hashtag #ThrowbackThursday to bring you a new feature that celebrates the anniversaries of some classic albums.… Continued →
