Yep, the list you’ve all been waiting for (not really) is finally here. Feel free to offer up some laughs and critical remarks for the music I listened to the most 20 years ago.

Jason Dunn (of Hawk Nelson/Lights Go Down) has announced he will be reuniting with some friends under a new band name and will have new songs to go with it. This new music will be similar to early Hawk Nelson, a band he fronted for more than a decade. He also has been teasing a tour of “Letters To The President” in 2019 (15th Anniversary of that album).
