Late last week, while my iTunes library was on shuffle, a selection from Audio Adrenaline‘s catalog came on, and it caused me to stop the random play and just listen to one Audio A album after another. When I got to the pop/rock band’s more mature 2001 effort, LIFT, I was reminded […]

We Recommend: Five Iron Frenzy, “All the Hype That Money Can Buy”
I hated this CD the first time I heard it. I became a Christian in late 2000, and for Christmas that year, a family in my church that knew of my recent conversion got me a Christian music sampler called Simply Impossible, containing bands like Philmore, The Normals, The Elms and Five […]
We Recommend: The Glorious Unseen, “Tonight The Stars Speak”
Let’s face it: if you’re familiar with JesusfreakHideout, you may know that most of us are not huge fans of the modern praise & worship scene. It’s not anything to do with the fact that it’s praise & worship, cause we all sing those very songs from our hearts at […]
We Recommend: Sarah Kelly, “Where The Past Meets Today”
This week’s recommendation is inspired by the fact I just saw this artist lead a worship service once again only a couple hours prior to writing this. It’s no secret that finding refreshing worship music is a difficult task and Sarah Kelly grabbed our attention with a firm (but loving) grip with […]
We Recommend: Lucerin Blue, “Tales of the Knife”
Lucerin Blue was somewhat overlooked back when they released Tales of the Knife. It’s a very solid rock album, and it did go over fairly well, but a lot of Christian rock fans I know haven’t really heard of the band. After this release, they recorded a few more demos poised for […]
We Recommend: NEEDTOBREATHE, “The Heat”
NEEDTOBREATHE won me over when I happened to see them open for Jars Of Clay in early 2007. I had given their debut, Daylight a listen before it dropped and wasn’t too impressed. However, their live show — and their return to their southern roots on The Heat — is what caught my attention. Bear […]
We Recommend: Family Force 5, “Dance Or Die”
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 […]
