this is…@tdwpband’s Kansas. literally, the greatest instrumental i’ve ever heard. the first time i played it i almost soiled myself during the sound byte, a sermon by paul washer on the judgment of God and the Great White Throne. the sermon link is below if you want to listen in.http://bit.ly/T5sjW 

band i’m absolutely floored to hear is dropping a new album in a few weeks: @mewithoutYou. if you’ve never laid ears on a mewithoutYou track, it’s hard for me to say where to begin. claiming that the pennsylvanian four piece is a treasure whose work touches nearly every genre is somehow still an understatement. i […]

check out a new track from @twypoppunk, “me vs the highway”. i love these guys. the wonder years are absolutely at the forefront of pop-punk’s second coming. solid new song.

bummer when it takes me forever to get on the bandwagon. heard transit for the first time today after hearing a ton about them and getting eyefuls from altpress. i’ve often said that the second coming of pop-punk is one of the most exciting trends in music in the last decade, and transit is just […]

#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 […]

…@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.

sooo @ronnieradke has been making headlines all over. he’s on the cover of the newest @altpress, with a featured article on him and his new band, falling in reverse. as much as i think some of it is sensationalized, ronnie deserves the positive words and general thumbs up he and FIR have been getting. a […]

@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 […]

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 […]

thrice | major/minor will be up first. wait til i finish the album…but so far, in a word: intriguing. i’ve always looked up to dustin kensrue and the boys, and honestly, the artist in the ambulance and major/minor are the only thrice albums i own, so in a sense, i’ve only seen the first and […]
