Happy New Year! As we get set for another year in music (which is looking pretty promising if you ask us!), let’s keep glancing back at some standout records of 2008. Another favorite this year was Family Force 5‘s Dance Or Die — an album that took the crunk rockers into the dance music scene. […]

We Recommend: House Of Heroes, “The End Is Not The End”
This week marks the end of 2008 and the beginning of another new year. As we look ahead to another promising year for new music, we look back at another catalog of releases. Incidentally, JFH staff picked House Of Heroes‘ The End Is Not The End as their favorite album of 2008, which should […]
We Recommend: Sixpence None The Richer, “The Dawn of Grace”
Only a couple more days ’til it’s Christmas — a time of giving and receiving as we celebrates God’s gift of His Son to us once again! This also a time of year filled with all kinds of emotions – from joy to sadness, sentimental thoughts to melancholy musings, it […]
We Recommend: Relient K, “Let It Snow Baby… Let It Reindeer”
This week, it seems only appropriate to recommend another Christmas album. In 2003, pop punk rockers Relient K produced a Christmas EP, creatively titled, Deck The Halls, Bruise Your Hand, and packaged it with their third studio album, Two Lefts Don’t Make a Right… But Three Do, later the same year. The EP was […]
We Recommend: Jars Of Clay, “Christmas Songs”
December 1st! Omigoodness, where did 2008 go?! Well, the end of the year is inevitably approaching, and with its approach comes CHRISTMAS! It’s my favorite holiday and time of the year, which is due in part to the season’s music! I grew up with the music that my grandfather passed […]
“God Knows Better Than We Do…” by John DiBiase
I’m not a parent yet, so when it comes to learning some of the lessons that parents learn, it’s usually through being a pet owner. For those who don’t know, my wife and I are the proud caretakers of a little guinea pig named Chewie who’s three and a half […]
“I feel like an idiot” by Scott Fryberger
Ever hear a new band, only to dismiss it for sounding like another band that you oh-so-badly do not enjoy in the slightest? I must have been in a bad mood the day I first heard Capital Lights. It was either that, or I only listened to “Outrage”, which is […]
We Recommend: Third Day, “Revelation”
This week, since I’ve been going back in time a lot lately to some 90’s or early 00 releases, I thought it might be appropriate to look back on 2008 a bit. First off, congratulations are in order to Third Day who took home an American Music Award last night (for “Favorite Contemporary Inspirational”)! And with […]
We Recommend: Project 86, “Drawing Black Lines”
This week, we’ve released the JFH staff’s Top 15 Albums of All Time. One of the titles that shows up on several of the lists is hardcore / rock band Project 86‘s 2000 sophomore album, Drawing Black Lines. For me, this is the album that got me into the band and would remain […]
“1996, here I come!” by Scott Fryberger
Ever since I had to sell my Wii (I needed money…..sigh), I’ve been missing playing video games. I’m not a huge gamer, but I do enjoy them. I’ve always loved many of the games that have been released through Nintendo. So a week or two ago, I went to my […]
