REVIEW : Switchfoot - Nothing Is Sound
It's week 5 of our 7 Weeks of Switchfoot and that means the 2005 release, Nothing Is Sound, is up to bat. You likely won't find many albums that flow better than this one from one track to the next and if you've missed out you can get it for $2 new at Amazon! Just be sure to give it time to grow on you.

INTERVIEW : A Road Less Traveled
For the past eight years, these five Texans have determinantely traveled the music business road. Many bands have walked (or rather, driven) this path - but A Road Less Traveled has continually proven themselves to be a cut above the rest. With a strong fan base, significant touring schedule, and two full-length releases, ARLT is poised to break through the indie scene rather soon. Their music posseses character, and many instrumental layers. Their songs are catchy and meaningful...and sure to be placed on "repeat." Check out what they had to say in response to a few questions I sent their way:

Christian industrial has pretty much stayed in the background of the general music scene. With only a few bands making any kind of name for themselves such as Mortal, Circle Of Dust, and Klank. The cold hard fact in my experience is that when it comes to industrial your either good or downright awful, there’s not much of a middle ground.… Continued →
