REVIEW : Festival Review: Purple Door 2006

By in Reviews | Comments closed

Purple Door 2006 Festival Review 10:41, Sunday night. This is the first I have been home since Friday morning. The reason? I was at a music fest in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania known at Purple Door. Well, today I just went straight to church and then some other stuff, but still… I have been to Purple Door. I have seen new bands, I have seen stages torn down, and I have met Joel and Cory. And while I have told a number of you that this review would be short and to the point, as I sit here now to write, I realize that that was a horrible idea, and less people may read this for it’s being so long, but those who do read it will enjoy it more as I give you more details.… Continued →

INTERVIEW : Bernard

By in Interviews | Comments closed

Interview with the band BERNARD Interview by: Joel Official buzz-band and one of the most pleasant surprises for me personally was the band Bernard. With cinematic grace and epic musical soundscapes they captivated their audience in the packed-out tent, shining like a light amidst thousands of bumper-car-core shows, the three-piece ambient-rock band Bernard blew me away. I instantly stole to the back waiting to meet up with one of the members for an interview. As soon as the main questions were done I turned off my recorder and spent another half hour just talking about our views on religion and the church, one of my most memorable conversations at Cornerstone 2006, here’s what I got for you guys: First, a word from an audience member.… Continued →

An Interview with Stephen Christian of Anberlin: www.anberlin.com www.myspace.com/anberlin www.myspace.com/stephenchristianmusic Interview By Brandon Jones/Indie Vision Music www.ivmzine.com I first met Stephen back in 2001 when his old band played a Church I was going to at the time. We hit it off and I was impressed with his humble demeanor. He is a passionate guy with a lot to say. It’s that same passion that leads him to front one of the most amazing rock bands of today, Anberlin. With that said, I’ll be conducting a little interview here with the man behind the mic.… Continued →

One of the highlights of Cornerstone 2006 was getting to see a whole gang of my old hometown friends, specifically the boys(and girl) in Lincoln’s Revenge, a new prog influenced orchestrated rock band, hailing from my old hometown of Guelph, Ontario(that is Canada folks). So I managed to catch up with them when they weren’t playing their own generator stage or showcasing on the Impromptu stage for a mob of crazed fans overjoyed to see some brass in the midst of the traditional metal mayhem. Joel IVM: State who you are and what you do.… Continued →

INTERVIEW : Why They Came

By in Interviews | Comments closed

So half way into Cornerstone Music Festival 2006 I was completely exhausted, sick of screaming music, and ready to pass out from sun exposure. I was spending some bonding time with some random people I had met just outside of one of the two Encore stages when Why They Came started their set. I wasn’t paying complete attention but I kept asking around trying to figure out who these people were, and mostly why their crowd consisted of 5-10 people. Their sound reminded me of Pedro the Lion with that clean guitar smooth vocals and great rhythm.… Continued →

Band: Bernard Album: A View Beyond a Cave Label: Floodgate Records Review by: JoshIndieVision www.myspace.com/bernard Floodgate strikes gold again! First they bring us The Myriad, who’s 2005 release “You Can’t Trust A Ladder”, blew me away and now comes Bernard. I had heard about these guys when they had released their independent album “Trust?

REVIEW : Underoath "Define The Great Line" (Special Edition CD/DVD)

By in Reviews | Comments closed

Artist: Underoath Album: Define the Great Line (Special Edition with DVD) Label: Solid State Records/ Tooth & Nail When I say the word Underoath, many things may come to mind. “Metal.” “Emo.” “Screamo sellouts.” “Popcore.” “Dallas was better, this new stuff is MTV garbage.” “The old stuff is terrible, but I liked They’re Only Chasing Safety.” Regardless which of these thoughts best describe how you feel about Underoath, one thing is certain: you know exactly who they are. Or do you? Underoath has never been a band to sound the same from album to album, and with the new release of Define the Great Line, they have again pushed themselves and hopefully their listeners to try something new.… Continued →

REVIEW : Watson Park "Self Titled"

By in Reviews | Comments closed

Album: WatsonPark Artist: WatsonPark Label: Unsigned I have to say it: I have a soft spot for some good folk-pop. I really do. I’m a pretty massive fan of the “nu-folk” movement which was revived in the late 90s and has carried over to today. Whiskeytown, early Wilco, Norah Jones, Damien Rice…I’m a sucker for all of them. The “singer/songwriter” set. Good stuff. It’s a little hard to peg down sometimes. It’s not pop enough to be called “pop”, but there’s nothing really too “folk” (and especially nothing “country”) about it.… Continued →
