#1 band that needs to get back together and do something big: @saosin. for most, saosin was first famous because living legend anthony green was in it. this was  before circa survive, obviously, and at the time the five-piece was something along the lines of post-hardcore: moderate amounts of high screaming, but primarily a hard […]

comeback band of 2011: @yellowcard. it’s been a long, winding road for yellowcard. i’ll be the first to admit that i had my doubts about the band getting back together. after all, “indefinite hiatus” is almost as painful to hear as simply “calling it quits”. if you haven’t heard When You’re Through Thinking, Say Yes, […]

@twypoppunk: “Suburbia, stop pushing.” i really can’t believe how good the wonder years are. i keep listening to other pop punk/punk groups and time and time again, i find myself listening to this raging philadelphian sextet. frontman dan “soupy” campbell’s lyrics are poignant and unapologetic, emotionally rooted yet surprisingly un-whiny in any way. in just […]

…@wikipedia music contributors. “unclean vocals” is not the most descriptive way to say “screamer”. “clean vocals” is fine, but really, the opposite of that shouldn’t be described with a negative adjective. alright. no more soapboxing for today. cheers.

@wolvesatthegate | oh the depths. WATG has been an up-and-comer to watch since i first saw the music video for “heralds” [link below], blending razor sharp musicianship with VERY well executed post-hardcore screaming/singing. add poignant, worshipful lyrics, and immediately this ohio based 4ish-piece becomes something christian music has really been lacking: heavy worship. the production […]

steady my heart, from kari jobe’s brand new album, where i find You. i’ve loved kari jobe for a long time. revelation song? come on. this new track is strangely taylor swift-esque with a touch of Jesus take the wheel, i think. i also think it’s awesome that there is a rise in well-known, strong […]

my brother’s church [ironically also called ecc] led this at youth group on friday. couldn’t have asked for a more relevant or timely new song to hear. david crowder band has been pushing the limits of modern worship styles since day 1, and it’s amazing to see how far they’ve come. for anyone fortunate enough […]

Link: a skylit drive | the cali buds before i post anything on thrice, which i’ll admit i haven’t finished, http://bit.ly/xrkjMN this is a skylit drive’s factory fresh video for “the cali buds”, which i first heard on the peter says denim sampler packed with punk goes pop 4. these guys are a shining reminder […]
