The piano is, like many instruments, simultaneously loved and loathed. The player will tickle the ivories even when others prefer silence. On Presence, Vol. 2 Andy Hunter’s DJ equipment starts to sound strangely similar to a piano. The instrument is present on just about every song, not to mention other orchestral instruments ranging from a pizzicato to a violin. Of course, the electronics are still here, most pronounced in “Light” which has a mid-tempo drum and bass beat, but this album is just as orchestral as it is electronic.… Continued →

Not only that but Chad took a huge risk and started a ministry called “Come and Live” which has been instrumental in helping to share the love of Christ with people all across the world.… Continued →

Please support my friends Tim Hopkins and Chris Kuhner in getting the incredible independent Christian alt-rock station BrokenFM back up on the air. I absolutely love this station and support their efforts at putting positive, hopeful music out there in the world. BrokenFM lost their transmitting towers/equipment. BrokenFM has been kind to IVM recently in playing tracks from some of our artists both on air and through internet streaming. It’s a tragedy what happened back a month or two ago with those fires up North.… Continued →

ZAP Records has just released this new 3 song ep from eccentric noise-punk band called Dystopian Futures. It’s like some strange mix of Blenderhead “Muchacho Vivo” (album), Fugazi, The Locust, Sonic Youth, Frodus, Don’t Know, Showbread, Roadside Monument, and kazoo punk rock (seriously!). Through all the noise and advant-garde weirdness, there is this strange punk rock calling to my soul. I’m not usually a fan of the extremely indie noise punk stuff, not knocking it just stating that it doesn’t necessarily end up in playlists but I’m feeling the music here.… Continued →
