Huntingtons Return From Long Slumber With Brand New Punk Rock Album
Huntingtons are back after a long hiatus to deliver us all an album that just might deserve a top spot on every punk rock reviewers “Best of” lists. Could this be possible?

One can only guess but the anticipation is high and I hope it’s even better than their last studio full length in 2003 (Self Titled).… Continued →

Song of the Day: World Against World - Disrupted Darkness and Scattered Spirits
In the late 90s, I lived in Atlanta, GA, doing inner-city ministry and discipleship training. An old college friend of mine from the area, Darrel, invited me to a show south of the city. Blindside were doing a U.S. tour and this new band was opening, featuring ex-members of Spudgun and Joe Christmas. I’d been hearing from others about the intensity of their live shows so I was eager to attend. Pop-punkers Jesse and the Rockers also played, as well as a new band made up of high school kids, called Luti-Kriss that never went anywhere (I kid!)… Continued →

Song of the Day: Huntingtons - The Only One
Huntingtons were a prolific punk and/or pop-punk band, as most of you will know. For me, you just can’t beat their sophomore album, “Fun and Games.” The title says it all. This song has that punk rock meets 50s style doo-wop that many bands tried but not many could pull off. It works incredibly well here!
Listen here:

Song of the Day: Altar Boys - You Are Loved
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: this is one of the greatest songs our scene has ever produced! It gets straight to the heart of what it’s all about: “Hey I’m talkin’ to you/Yeah, I’m trying to get through/God cares about you more than think . . . You are loved! You are loved!”
It was the first song I ever heard from the Altar Boys, in the late 80s. Ironically, it was on a metal compilation where I first heard them. Though the song is nowhere near metal, it has that late 80s post-punk/power pop sound from SoCal that has loads of energy.… Continued →

Song of The Day: Craig's Brother - Who Am I?
We all find that special album, the initial attraction which binds the listener to a band from the get go. For me, that first album “Homecoming” by Craig’s Brother was just that, an alluring piece of work that had me fascinated from day one. Tooth & Nail released this album in 1998, nearly 21 years ago. It wasn’t exactly a “huge” hit but sure did knock us all in the chest with powerful guitar heavy punk rock and harmonies you can’t get out of your head.… Continued →

Light The Way - HOPE (Full Song)
Super pumped to unveil the brand new single from Sacramento, CA. based pop-punk band – Light The Way. This song is titled “HOPE” It is just that, a hopeful reminder of God’s enduring love for us no matter how much we fail or feel defeated, that God will be there with open arms to love us completely. This song really came at the perfect time as I was experiencing some unexpected set backs in my wife’s journey from her 2014 stroke and brain surgery. It’s crazy how little things like an independent pop-punk band can bring even an old Dad like myself much joy and peace.… Continued →
