REVIEW : The Access - The Time Has Come
As my final review for the end of a decade I'll revisit a missed worship album that deserves attention. The Access released their debut in 2008 and they are worth checking out if you are a fan of other worship bands like Casting Crowns and Leeland. The Access do their part in making music that stands out from their contemporaries.

REVIEW : As Bold As Lions - s/t EP
Want to see your parents do some hardcore punches and kicks at church on Sunday?
REVIEW : Frank Schweikhardt - Life But No More
Frank Schweikhardt fits perfectly on the XRA roster, bringing a slow and minimalist acoustic sound that melds perfectly with his soft baritone. It’s like a stripped down Iron & Wine and a solo Husband&Wife mixed with a non-Cynical David Bazan.
