So Emery has got some new stuff coming out as we have seen. Seen them live a few time snow & they actually started out in this town I used to live in called Rock Hill, SC, but had moved on unfortunately before I arrived. They have a lot going on but this was their first video & song that brough them to our attention.

Song of the Day: Spoken - This Path vs Through It All
This one goes out to one of my fave bands of all time. Matt Baird is a man ov God. I literally just saw them live yet again 2 days ago & bought some merch off his oldest son! Anyways their LP Echoes is still in my top 20 albums of all time. The other SOTD showcases the cleaner production sound that they became known for. They are still releasing new music so BOLO for new stuff that they played.

Song of the Day: Earthsuit - Schizophreniac
Earthsuit was another one of those bands that didn’t seem to have any counterparts in the Christian music industry. Some of the band members went on to form MuteMath. But hey, great song title right?! Think it’s a play on our sin nature. Maybe someone knows different?

Song of the Day: For Today - Devastator
So I wrote a review on one of Mattie’s preaching tracks a year or so ago. This is his band after he left Besieged. This band got really big & ended up disbanding after releasing several albums. This song has always been my fave & is just so much fun to play on drums! They were also decent live-trust me!

Song of the Day: Lamb - You Are My Salvation
Lamb is a Messianic Jewish band that started out in the 70s which played Jewish folk music. As time progressed they did a few rockier songs including this SOTD which I still love to this day. Hope you do also.

Song of the Day: Slick Shoes - Fulfilling
This band is cool. I remember seeing them back in the day & I was impressed. I’d consider them pop punk & they were one of the early T&N bands that I had collected. Chose this one as I always understood the lyrics.
The life’s torn from you, there is nowhere to turn. You’re all alone, you feel hollow and empty. Nothing you do can suppress the heartache that you feel. The only strength you have is used to cry in misery. Could you fill the hole you’ve made inside your heart, when you can’t erase your past mistakes?… Continued →

Song of the Day: Texas in July - Bed of Nails

Song of the Day: Turnaround - Don't Believe It
This catchy song has a great meaning about letting go of fear. One of the 2 members says this on his Facebook “As I got older, I felt like I couldn’t do what God was calling me to do.”, but—don’t believe it.

Song of the Day: Pax217 - What Is Love
This is a hard song to listen to, but it needs to be heard. This one talks about a guy who hurt someone close to the author. He’s ticked with the dude, but tells him that God will forgiven him if he repents. There is what appears to be a music video on YouTube, but it’s to risqué to list here.

Song of the Day: Ron Collins - Run This Race vs All I Know
Ron Collins was a vocalist from the late 80s/early 90s whose prior band was TwentyTwenty & when this solo album came out, David & the Giants was his backing band. While I was in the military, I sang Run to myself many times while I ran my 2 miles during the physical fitness test. I got a 12:04 twice in a row. All I Know I think is one of the best songs ever & when I heard it on radio I was amazed.

Song of the Day: Prophetica - 1000 Times
Eric Dunne aka Prophetica made some of the best trance I’ve ever heard. I’ve been looking for one of his songs Denim for years, but this stuff was made back in the old mp3.com days. This is a worship song

Song of the Day: Emma Mullings - Skinny Roads
I know this is a punk site, but hey this song is darn catchy about taking the road less travelled.
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matthew 7:13-14).

Song of the Day: Five Iron Frenzy - Every New Day
Probably my most fave song from this long time running punk/ska band. I have never seen live & I am sad. 🙁 Anyways here are the lyrics & probably why I like it so much. Can you imagine the world where CCM radio would have this as a worship song instead of nonstop Hillsong?
When I was young, The smallest trick of light, Could catch my eye, Then life was new And every new day, I thought that I could fly. I believed in what I hoped for, And I hoped in things unseen, I had wings and dreams could soar, I just don’t feel like flying anymore. … Continued →

Song of the Day: Don't Wake Aislin vs Veridia -Clear Skies are Hard to Find vs Furious Love
Both bands are modern rock & do a mighty fine job if I might say. Clear Skies used to have a music video but it was pulled before Veridia came to be. I saw Veridia at a Winter Jam at one point. Hope you like the 2 songs as much as I have.

Song of the Day: Simple Mystery - On my Own
Simple Mystery is a band that is from my hometown Normal, Illinois. The 4 piece comprised of Jason, Eric, Jimmy & Chris. Chris you may have heard of from his later band The Frantics & his work with Miss Angie & pop rock/worship group Goodbye Audio.

Song of the Day: Six Feet Deep - Narrow
This band was awesome imho. The early days of Christian hxc bands had met their match with this phenomenal cd The Road Less Travelled. Songs like Congruent, Purify, Slip, & Steadfast are just pummeling. It was like a breach of hxc w/ metalcore. Myk Porter & Matt Traxler went to to form an awesome emo band called Brandston (whom I got to see live several years ago) after but the band got its start in 91 in Ohio. I have always thought this is one of the best metal instrumentals of all time.… Continued →

Song of the Day: The American Culture Experiments - Talk
The American Culture Experiments were a punk band from Texas. Their first LP I bought off Accidental Sirens records which is the label from Scaterd Few’s/Men As Trees Walking Allen Aguirre whom I had the pleasure to interview back in my college days. Humans Being was also featured as a single on Christian indie rock shows back in the early 2000s. Lloyd wrote a SOTD on another song from theirs here: https://www.indievisionmusic.com/news/song-of-the-day-the-american-culture-experiments-freedom-in-part/ This one has Laraine on vocals & bass.

Song of the Day: Islander - Bad Guy
This is a band whom I have seen live twice now & they put on an impressive show. And of course the P.O.D./Bad Brains influence isn’t a bad thing either! This is just the type of music I am glad to have permeated the mainstream airwaves. Coconut Dracula put them on the map & as of today, April 1st, they have released It’s Not Easy Being Human.

Song of the Day: Cloud2Ground vs Shiny Toy Guns - Face2Face vs Somewhere to Hide
There are so many memories of these 2 bands. C2G first started up back in 99 w/ Jeremy Dawson (who is an awesome musician). He added Chad Petree who was in a boy band called PC Quest which started in 91. C2G released 2 of my fave EDM albums of all time. Then they started releasing other projects under Slyder, RRDS & Shiny Toy Guns. STG took over & they ended up releasing their mainstream debut in 06 but was floating around as an indie release in 05.… Continued →

Song of the Day: MyChildren MyBride - god of Nothing
MyChildren MyBride is a metalcore band from Alabama. This SOTD was probably my fave song in 2013. It has always served as a reminder that the devil does not rule my life no matter how many times I fall as a Christian. YHWH is always waiting for me with open arms.

Song of the Day: Acceptance - Fire & Rain
Acceptance is a pop punk band from Washington state. I remember their song Different on mainstream radio back when emo ruled the airwaves in the early to mid 2000s. They had originally broke up in 2006, but reunited in 2017 & released albums on the label that I have always wanted to work for: Tooth & Nail. They have toured with Anberlin, Finch, Further Seems Forever & The Julian Theory all of whom I have seen live. The band has had several catchy songs including Take Cover, Not Afraid & this SOTD.… Continued →

Song of the Day: xDisciplex A.D. - Held Accountable
xDisciplex is a spirit filled hxc band whose Lantern ep I had back in the mid 90s while I was in high school. I have always dug this song more than their others.

Song of the Day: Propaganda - Healthy Don't Need Doctors
Propaganda is my favorite rapper whom I have officially seen & hung with twice. I’ve been listening to him since his days with Tunnel Rats & have every one of his albums if that tells you anything. You can also check out my other faves NF & Dirt. He is steadily going still & I am currently reading his Terraform book. This thought provoking SOTD is my fave & you can read the lyrics below.
Once I heard this Middle Eastern carpenter say, “You know, the healthy don’t need doctors.” … Continued →
