It’s been some time since we last had a “10 Years Later” retrospective, I’ll admit. But with 2011 being the target for these now, it’s crazy to look back and see all that released that year was a decade ago now. Recently, Mat Kearney announced a brand new studio album […]

10 Years Later: House of Heroes, “House of Heroes”
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. They have the first album to receive two five star reviews in JFH history. Additionally, when you click on […]
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 […]
10 Years Later: Five Iron Frenzy, “The End Is Here”
When it comes to Five Iron Frenzy, I was about as late-blooming of a fan as you can possibly get. My experience with them was as follows: I started going to church in the year 2000, and along with my newfound interest in Jesus, I was given some Christian music to […]
10 Years Later: Tree63, “The Answer To The Question”
To fully understand my choice in highlighting Tree63, I must delve a little bit into my background. In my youth, my interest (and exposure) to music was rather limited. I had been weaned on Rich Mullins, dabbled in the sounds of Steven Curtis Chapman, and been bored during church worship; […]
10 Years Later: Falling Up, “Crashings”
Ten years ago, when on an ice cream run with friends, my ears were opened to a new world. At our age, good music was a staple for every car ride, no matter the distance. With the now near-extinct compact disc being our preferred mode of listening, one of the […]
10 Years Later: Switchfoot, “The Beautiful Letdown”
No doubt 2003 was a great year for music; along with well-received releases from several great bands across the board, one of Christian and secular music’s most sought-after and prominent rock bands released their biggest (and one of the biggest of that year) album. That record just happens to be […]
10 Years Later: Relient K, “Two Lefts Don’t Make A Right, But Three Do”
Taking a trip back in time (going a little McFly here) to life in 2003. I was about to turn 10, CDs were still the standard for music buyers, Myspace was still number one in Social Media, and a little band known as Relient K was getting ready to release their third […]
10 Years Later: Steven Curtis Chapman, “All About Love”
2003 was the year I turned 12 years old. I was just starting to like music, and even then it couldn’t hold my attention for long… unless I REALLY liked it. But thanks to then-recent massive hits like Dive and Live Out Loud, Steven Curtis Chapman was one of those artists I REALLY liked. Granted, […]
10 Years Later: Underoath, “The Changing of Times”
I think it to be highly appropriate to write a blog like this about a band who has recently announced their break up, simultaneously breaking the hearts of many music fans (though with all the understanding in the world from said fans). Ten years ago, one of the best things […]
