Tag: Grandpa Loves Rhinos

Don’t you love that headline? Seriously though, I am so thankful for all of you listening to the music I put out in 2018, following the bands, requesting the tunes on your favorite stations, buying merch, and just for supporting Indie Vision Music this year. It has been an amazing ride. I still have that Craig’s Brother Ep on the way and then the rest of 2019 is up in the air. Currently working hard in my machining business and trying to figure out what to do next music wise. We are actually moving facilities to one down the street in Anaheim and yes that includes all the IVM merch (I ship from my real job). Anyway, check out the Billboard Christian Rock Radio Charts for this week and marvel at the sheer sight of infectious music invading the airwaves. Charts can be found below. This week Grandpa Loves Rhinos and Names Without Numbers both entered the main “Christian Rock National Airplay” chart in great positions. Keep requesting these tunes and let’s blow up 2019 in a big way. Don’t forget about new Craig’s Brother on the way. Thanks again everyone and God Bless you all this Christmas/New Years season.

Now on to the really exciting announcement, Indie Vision Music can officially say we have Billboard Charting Songs on the Nielsen Top Christian Rock Charts! It may seem insignificant and so small time but for a label like IVM with no team, no employees, no radio staff, this is a huge accomplishment. I’ve been working so hard at this for nearly 18 years and have never reached such a powerful ranking. This is only the beginning and there is still so much more to offer. If you want to help IVM continue charting, call BrokenFM or visit them at www.broken.fm and make your requests. The songs below are the ones I have charting.

This is news on all the IVM related releases. First up, Light The Way. Today is official release day for the band’s new album “False Memory Syndrome”.

The band’s new full length release “False Memory Syndrome” can be purchased/downloaded right here as well as all other major digital markets. Check out the lyric video for their song “Holy Ghost”, below. The band will be posting a lyric video of their own on Friday via their YouTube channel so don’t miss out on that. *CDs have shipped for all Light The Way orders. CD manufacturing took a bit longer than expected and I just received at my work yesterday afternoon after I had left for the day.

I am happy to announce that I have just received the finished mixed/mastered songs for Mainframe “Burn The Boats Ep” and it is unlike anything else out there. Very unique and set apart from some of the staleness purveying the music scene at large. I have now just posted the Ep for Digital Download/Limited CD Purchase over on bandcamp here or IVM Storenvy store. The CD and Digital Release Date is April 13th 2018!
