We love House of Heroes here at JFH. Their albums always chart on our Staff Picks and Highlighting Artists, and at one point or another, they have even nabbed the number one spot for both features.

Exclusive: Kevin Max’s Behind-The-Song for “Broken Temples” Album
Check out this JFH exclusive behind-the-song look at Kevin Max’s new album, Broken Temples, written by Kevin himself! Good Kings Highway (Kevin Max, Josh Silverberg, Kipp Williams) I started writing this song during the 2nd year on the road with Audio Adrenaline.

“An Open Letter To Mark Stuart and the Audio A Camp,” by Alex Caldwell
The wholesale lineup changes that Audio Adrenaline has foisted on their fan base in the last few years are frustrating and contribute to the cynicism that many feel towards the music industry (Christian and secular branches alike). It’s been done too many times and a line has to be drawn here. Now, […]
10 Years Later: Audio Adrenaline, “Until My Heart Caves In”
It’s certainly hard to believe that a decade has passed since Audio Adrenaline released what would end up being their final studio album. Until My Heart Caves In was a bittersweet record, as it showcased even less of lead singer Mark Stuart’s vocals than the previous album had (Worldwide), with guitarist Tyler Burkum filling […]
Scott Fryberger Examines His Top 10 Albums of 2014

Alex Caldwell’s Top Ten Albums (and A Few Songs) From 2014
Being a music reviewer (or film or any other kind of art) can be a downer at times, because your intake of mediocre art can be too much. If you let it get to you, then you can wonder if there is anything good happening in your little corner of […]
“In Defense of the Chris Tomlin Formula” by Mark D. Geil
Conan O’Brien’s late show recently produced a clever spoof ad from Apple in response to their recent polarizing U2 album release. In the clip, an Apple exec describes the company’s new machine that not only erases Songs of Innocence from the user’s iTunes library, but also erases any knowledge or memory […]
“Investing In The Lives Of Our Favorite Music-Makers” by John DiBiase
With the ever-evolving music industry, it’s grown more difficult for many bands and performers to be able to continue to afford to make music. I’ve heard about more than a couple instances where a band or artist has had to discontinue touring because ticket sales and/or album sales are lower […]
