REVIEW : The Burning Edge of Dawn - Andrew Peterson

January 5, 2017 By Benji Kunz in Reviews | 3 Comments

Anyone who’s close to me knows that I’m the unofficial president of the Andrew Peterson fan club (or a prominent cabinet member at least). In recent years, I’ve fallen in love with his extensive discography. He released his first full-length Carried Along back in 2000 and has consistently released music ever since.

His songs carry a subtle beauty that’s easy to miss on only one or two listens, but with each new listen there’s a new treasure to dig up.… Continued →

We became fast friends, and I have followed Collin’s musical and design career ever since. When he posted the Band Camp link to his new solo project Maranatha, I was stoked to say the least. After hearing what Steven Cosand of Overcome did with Sanhedrin by himself. I knew Collin’s project had to be just as good, and was I right.… Continued →

REVIEW : Love and Death - Chemicals EP

April 24, 2012 By Lee Brown in Reviews | Comments closed

Brian "Head" Welch returns with a new band name and just enough music to "whet your whistle" until a full length comes out. With just one new original song, one cover song, and two remixes, Chemicals gives you just the right amount of content for its small asking price.
