DISPRAISED ANNOUNCES SELF-TITLED FOURTH ALBUM — OUT MAY 11 After nearly a decade of relentless output and evolution, Dispraised is set to release their self-titled fourth album, Dispraised, on May 11 via Thumper Punk Records. Marking a defining moment in the band’s trajectory, the album captures both a culmination of years of growth and a bold reset for what lies ahead.

This pop-punk duo comprises brothers Seth and Paul Hyde, who are separated by thousands of miles (North Carolina to Hawaii). Seth spearheads the project, with Paul adding the drums. However, Paul spearheads the independent (and non-profit) record label Small Step Records.

Grand Prize hailed from the Calvary Chapel location in Idaho. They eventually changed their name to Esterlyn & do a more AC/worshipful vibe. This SOTD has a special meaning to me & is a lot of what I personally struggle with. : You say that you love Him with your life  But your going your own way  You need to let Him have your rights   Let Him take control of your life.” So come on over feel His Grace shining bright It’s not over you still need to fight You say that it can’t be done You just can’t live what’s right Well that’s not right He will heal you tonight You say that you love Him with your life But your going your own way You need to let Him have your rights Let Him take control of your life He’ll set you free, Tonight, yea yea tonight Some come on over let His love draw you near It’s not over He wipe away every tear You say that it can’t be done You just can’t live what’s right Well that’s not right He will heal you tonight Oh how He loves You- How He longs to forgive You Won’t you let Him take your hand Won’t you let Him show you His Plan He will change you, He will change you, He will change you … Continued →

AsFireFalls formed as a electronicore band with a softer edge. Hailing from Idaho, the 3 piece (which apparently started out as 4 members) has released an EP & numerous singles that have aired on Christian rock radio stations/shows. Branson is so darn catchy that it was just itching to be a SOTD. Also included is a live video & their website. https://www.asfirefalls.com/about … Continued →
