I think I say this each time, even on things that are unrelated to Five Iron, but Five Iron Frenzy is my favorite band. And I’m super excited about the release of their DVD this winter. I know, it’s not unusual for some deranged FIF messageboard geeks to start rumors about the […]

“Skelanimals” by Scott Fryberger
Long have I been dreading the day. The day when I would discover a new trend and think, “Kids these days!” Methinks this day has come. Now, look, I’m only 25. 25 = not old. I realize that. But I just can’t help but feel that way sometimes. or at […]
“The John 15:11 Challenge” by MIKESCHAIR’s Jon Haire
“These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.” John 15:11 (NASV) I challenge you to ask yourself what does this verse mean to you? I find it interesting to take a step back and look […]
We Recommend: Jars Of Clay, “The Long Fall Back To Earth”
This Spring, one of CCM’s staple acts, Jars Of Clay, released one of their strongest albums yet, the epicly titled The Long Fall Back To Earth. Over this past weekend, I caught the band’s live performance at Disney’s “Night Of Joy” festival and the foursome put on a great mix of old […]
“Attack of the EP!” by John DiBiase
It’s kind of funny. As I sit here reading over staff reviews for the latest EP releases, it reminds me just how many dang EP’s are being released these days (Roger’s going to eat this blog up!)! I know that the music industry is in a weird state right now – and […]
“The Recording Process of ‘Live Life Loud'” by Jon of Hawk Nelson
A blog recounting the recording process of Live Life Loud: So it’s been a few months since we finished recording “Live Life Loud”, and I’m sitting down to sketch out what I can remember about the recording process….. Thankfully I’m blessed (and equally cursed) with a crazy detailed memory for things […]
“How people can think that there isn’t a God?” by MIKESCHAIR’s Mike Grayson
As I type this I am on HWY 101 in California. This is my first time in Cali and I have to say that I think I could live here. I am overwhelmed by the beauty of the desert like mountains (some might call them hills but I am from FL so they […]
We Recommend: Roper, “Brace Yourself for the Mediocre”
I loved Five Iron Frenzy. I still do. I always will. When they broke up, I was sad. I remember talking to Reese at their last show in Kansas City, and he said he was working on Guerilla Rodeo, and there was hope. When all they ended up doing was […]
We Recommend: Showbread, “Age Of Reptiles”
This is where a lot of Showbread fans realized that they weren’t true Showbread fans. So many times, when an artist or band changes their style/genre, fans jump off the bandwagon. As sad as it is, it happens. And with a band like Showbread, a group of musicians who don’t want to […]
We Recommend: dc Talk, “Jesus Freak”
Is it really possible that none of us have recommended this record yet? Sheesh! Well, maybe it’s a given by the name of this site that this record is a hearty recommendation from us, but as we celebrate our thirteenth year online this month, it seems only fitting to dig […]
