Ronnie Winter-Defoe is the vocalist for The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus which became well known on mainstream radio for their song Face Down. A few years ago, their music found its way onto “Christian” radio shows. This beautiful SOTD was re-recorded for TRJA, but I have always liked this version better & love its lyrical content..
For all the times you told me not to jump ’cause I might fall
I said ‘Thank you, thank you’
But I’m the kind of guy that has to fall to learn to fly
Still, I say ‘Thank you, thank you.’… Continued →

The Family Cast Podcast which is run by Josh Kemble of Dogwood and St Didacus, has just posted a wonderful look back on that monumental Dogwood album, “Matt Aragon”. Quite honestly this is the rare album that meshed Punk Rock and Christianity in ways that most other bands couldn’t quite articulate for that time period. This album dropped right after 9/11 at a time of great despair, brokenness, and ultimately a lot of soul searching, with “Matt Aragon” coming to mend all those questions and disbelief which many of us felt at a really dark time in human history.… Continued →

Dead Awake Dreaming was a metalcore band that hailed from California. Their Facebook has not been updated since 2016, but their mission was to love the unloved & I feel we all understand that. Jesus does hear our cries & will be there for us no matter what even when we don’t understand ourselves.

Among the plethora of pop-punk bands in the Christian scene, Slick Shoes were one of the best, probably top 5 out of hundreds. Formed in 1994 in Southern California (like most Christian pop-punk bands), they released their debut EP for Tooth & Nail in 1997, then proceeded to release 6 full-lengths, a split with mainstream band Autopilot Off (FKA Cooter) and a live album.
The band won a lot of points with me by taking their name from one of my favorite movies of all time, The Goonies.… Continued →
Eisley, from Tyler TX, is an awesome band that I wish to have seen live. To me, they kinda reminded me of Chasing Furies, but with a lot longer discography. This song has always struck a chord with me for its lyrical content.

When you stopped me in my tracks
The very first time
Had me going
The very first night
Waved goodbye, your keys locked inside
I knew you were the only one
With your crazy voice mail, seen your spotted toes
Way funnier than anyone knows
With your daddy’s eyes and your grandma’s gun
You’re the only one
That little crook in your teeth and your 5 inch feet
When you tie your hair up in the bun
Whatever the weather, we’ll stick together forever
‘Cause you’re the only one
Seven billion in the world baby
I only wanna be with you
I don’t want another girl baby
I only wanna be with you
Waiting for you all my life
I can’t wait another night
Seven billion in the world
And you’re the only I want, it’s true
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
I only wanna be with
Only wanna be with
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Only wanna be with you
You put too much salt on everything you eat
Wake up freezing ’cause I stole the sheets
And you talk to the wall, pop your gum in your sleep
You’re the only one
And you worry about your dad on his motorbike
The way your voice cracks when you wanna fight
And you never wanna sleep so I talk all night
To the only one
Turn out the lights and hold me tonight
We don’t need the sun
Whatever the weather, we’ll stick together forever
‘Cause you’re the only one

Wage War hit the metalcore scene with a ferocity in 2015 with the release of their debut album, “Blueprints”. Prior to this, they were known as Empires and had an ep called “The Fall of Kings” which is quite impressive! The first two albums, “Blueprints” and “Deadweight” were very well received by fans of the genre, however the third, “Pressure”, which was released a little over 2yrs ago, had something of a mixed reception. While ardent fans of the band’s previous material thought they were getting too poppy or mellowing out, others applauded some of the new directions the band was branching out to.… Continued →

Ruby Joe was an awesome rocka/pscychobill band from California. They changed things up on their 2nd album which dabbled in swing. The original band that 2 members were in was named Strugglefish which is in reference I’m pretty sure to one of my all time faves 1st LP DigHayZoose which was actually my first review for one of their songs. Anyways, this SOTD is catchy & related to one of my friends’ cat lol! Anyways, hope you have fun listening to this one.

There is simply not enough hip-hop on this site. Let’s fix that! I grew up in a small, very monochromatic town in Oklahoma, where most of the people had my skin color. In that part of the world, there were two kinds of music–country and heavy metal. In the 80s, a few of my friends who were more hip had started getting into this new “rap music” that I knew very little about. But growing up in a country-western family and then discovering rock on my own, I wasn’t really predisposed to listen to rap.… Continued →
