It appears like People of Punk Rock Records will be dusting off that epic Dogwood punk classic “Matt Aragon” for a whole new generation of to enjoy. The album that brought tears to the eyes with the track “Do or Die” will finally be getting the vinyl treatment. This album has always held a special spot in my heart since it’s first initial release back during a turbulent time in our country’s history of September 2001 when it originally released. All their albums have been tremendous punk rock classics (duh, I’ve bought all of them on vinyl since they got reissued) but this one really cements it’s place on my heart.… Continued →

As a (ahem….) 40-something year old punk kid, listening to The Rocky Valentines new full-length “Music On The Shelf” takes me back to my high school and early college days. Back then, my Sony Discman would have been filled with the sounds of The Get Up Kids, Velocity Girl, New Order, Superchunk and Teenage Fanclub. I probably would’ve had a home-made mixtape with all those bands floating around on it. And The Rocky Valentines would’ve fit in comfortably. This record is pure nostalgia for me. It’s part lo-fi-ish guitar pop mixed with equal parts melody and post-punk melancholy.… Continued →

I recently caught up with Joby Harris of Christian indie/punk supergroup Crash Rickshaw, for what turned out to be a rather enlightening (and lengthy) interview. What’s the story behind their decade-long hiatus? And why reconvene now? IVM: It’s been 24 years since the Crash Rickshaw debut, and 9 years since any last recorded music (only 10 copies made of The Unknown Clarity). Why the long wait, and what prompted the return? JH: We made the first Crash album at a prime time of being young, highly creative, knee-deep in a great music scene in Southern California and big dreams of doing that kind of thing forever.… Continued →

I have some exciting news to share with you all today. A throwback pop-punk band I’ve been following from Hawaii just joined forces with up and coming indie/pop-punk/emo/ska label, Small Step Records. This is definitely a band to keep your eyes and ears on. Small Step Records adds Hawaii-based 4-piece Christian pop punk band, The Caballerials, to the growing roster of independent, faith-inspired artists dedicated to authentic, purpose-filled music. The Caballerials’ style is reminiscent of the classic pop punk of the 2000, laced with nostalgia and lyrics filled with faith and hope; for fans of MxPx, Homegrown, Olivia The Band, The Cootees, and Piebald.… Continued →

After years of silence, these legendary hardcore music makers known as “ADVENT” are back and BETTER THAN EVER!! This hard hitting, soul crushing new EP is titled “God Is The End” and features 4 insane, heavy songs with that signature Advent hardcore sound. If you’ve been sort of a casual Advent fan or haven’t really thought about them in years, definitely don’t sleep on this EP. Give these songs a listen and ignite that spirit with their uncompromising sound and lyrics. This is probably one of the best hardcore releases of 2025 (so far).… Continued →

Many of you will already be aware of the deep credentials held by Teeth for Eyes: members have played in Cicero, Empty Tomb, Godspeed, Crux, Government Hate Mail and many more. Naming these connections is both helpful and problematic. Sure, it tells us that the band members are seasoned veterans of the punk/indie scene, but how much does it tell us about the current music? While musically the band are still cranking out fast-paced punk rock with touches of both hardcore on the one hand and/or alternative/grunge on the other, they are somewhat of an anomaly in that they have a singer.… Continued →

New Jersey based hardcore punk outfit – Plead The Widow’s Cause, just dropped an epic new music video that’s totally diy but filled to the brim with some of the best hardcore sounds around.

They recently released a new full length that is available on your favorite digital networks. This song is titled “Burn Bright, Burn Out”.… Continued →

There has been an ongoing silence on the latest happenings in the Christian music realm and it’s not by accident, it’s pure engineering. So much so that we’ve decided (well me actually) to amp up the fun by diving head first into the world of “Reels” and short streaming clips as evidenced by some recent posts on Instagram and Facebook. While not as cutting edge and China-centric as say TikTok or as private as a Snap (not that kind of private and also, do people still use this app?),… Continued →

Oh my! After a 20-year hiatus, post-punk/hardcore darlings Crash Rickshaw are back!

True Liberty is a true-school punk rock band from Richmond, VA. The band was active for roughly 10 years, from the mid-2000s through the mid-2010s. In that period, they released an impressive collection of four full-length albums, all in the old school punk rock style. “Lost” is the opening track from their sophomore album Brotherhood, released in 2008 via Raging Storm Records. The band also released albums through Wounded Records and Thumper Punk Records. They also contributed tracks to several different Christian punk compilations via labels like Indie Vision Music, Rottweiler Records, Caustic Fallout, SkyBurnsBlack Records, in addition to the aforementioned Thumper Punk.… Continued →

The music community lost a great one this week. Sadly for us, Mike Peters of The Alarm has passed from this life and into the next. The Welsh singer/guitarist was 66. Peters had first been diagnosed with cancer in 1995, and fought throughout the better part of 10 years before being diagnosed with yet another form of cancer in 2005. All throughout this time, Peters continued to perform, sometimes with The Alarm, sometimes solo, and at other times collaborating with others. He briefly fronted a version of Big Country, and also collaborated with Billy Duffy of The Cult in a project called Colorsound.… Continued →

Adam Nigh who is the lead front-man/bassist/songwriter for Too Bad Eugene and a current (and past) member of Craig’s Brother, has been releasing a steady stream of new acoustic “solo” songs with plenty of guest contributors. Not only are there some new songs but also new acoustic versions of classic (and newer) Too Bad Eugene tracks. These are all available via Bandcamp here and also on your favorite digital networks! What’s the old adage about (music) aging like fine wine? Well, give it a listen and you’ll agree.… Continued →

He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. -Matthew 28:6

Anberlin have just announced a very special tour commemorating 20 years of “Never Take Friendship Personal” this summer beginning July 31st in Jacksonville, FL. and wrapping up on August 17th in Indianapolis, with The Almost and Watashi Wa! Sounds tasty. It like this is mostly east coast and a few spot midwest dates so I’m guessing they’ll announce more dates for more states soon. West Coast needs this. View the flyer for this tour, below. Are any of you looking forward to this tour?  … Continued →

***April Fool’s Joke*** Brandon Jones otherwise known as the man with a plan, aka Nanny Doe, aka Founder and Owner of IVM, visited the White House over the weekend (see pic) to plan out how best to keep Faith based rock n’ roll aka Christian Music, alive and well into the next decade by incorporating his “Dominate” approach (inspired by the fine folks at Tooth & Nail Records in their ‘Dominate 98’ ad slogan) into the America First Agenda. Meeting with Trump and Musk, he felt that his lifelong passions could reverberate into Washington DC politics.… Continued →

***April Fool’s Joke*** A rather odd news story to report on but one of the utmost importance. At first it emerged as just another rumor but now has been verified through management. A much loved Facedown Records band and all around IVM favorite – American Arson, has made the jump to Europe to an undisclosed country and have renamed themselves as “European Arson“. It can be taken as a direct tribute to their new home or a firebrand sort of activism that just might get them sent back home.… Continued →

Nate Parrish just dropped a music video for his emotional and inspirational new rock ballad, “Small”. I’ve heard it described as somewhere between Sam Raimi and Wes Anderson but I definitely see some Michael Bay. Ok that last part is an over exaggeration but you get the point, this is a music video not to be missed. Video can be found below or on Nate’s YouTube channel. The song is available now through all digital networks courtesy of Fair Vaux Records.… Continued →

Nate Parrish has released a new single, titled “Small”. Fairly consistent with Nate’s other punk-laced offerings, “Small” speaks to the sense of feeling burdened by troubles and obstacles that just make you feel…small. Be sure to give it a listen and share your thoughts!… Continued →

It was revealed late last year that Craig’s Brother founding member and lead vocalist – Ted Bond, had indeed gotten a diagnosis of Lymphoma. A friend of Ted’s and the family has put together a special GoFundMe campaign to raise funds to help offset the costs associated with the coming medical bills associated with treatment and healing. Since I understand first hand the exorbitant costs from medical bills and deductibles to be met, I know it isn’t easy for many families to pay outright for them on a meager income.… Continued →
