This pop punk band also went by The Adventures of Johnny Respect. They hailed from Michigan & early 90s punk aficionado’s like myself found them on a lot of comp cds at Christian Bookstores before they went extinct. This song is a Social Distortion cover. Hope y’all like it. Also, happy Labor Day!   … Continued →

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of a little known melodic punk rock band’s debut album called “Sumo Surprise” (that band being GHOTI HOOK) UnoriginalVinyl and Tooth & Nail Records are putting out a limited Vinyl Pressing. UnoriginalVinyl has carefully and tastefully recreated the artwork, packaged it together with some thoughtful elements, remastering handled by Troy Glessner of Spectre Studios, and available in 2 different variants.

Today’s SOTD believe it or not, was produced by White Heart’s Billy Smiley!… Continued →

Bands such as The Deluxtone Rockets, The Dingees & Denver & the Mile High Orchestra were very common on alternative/rock Christian radio stations. Flight 180 was one such band who went by a couple name derivatives including several lineup changes over the years they were in existence. I think this is another genre that Tooth & Nail innovated in the Christian music industry.  I’m pretty sure they took their name from the Final Destination first film.… Continued →
