I thought a “special edition” of JFH’s “We Recommend” was in order to feature Summertime recommendations. Now, keep in mind – this is by NO means a comprehensive list of music that is perfect for your Summer music enjoyment, but this is simply some tunes we recommend for crusing to […]

We Recommend: Mojo and the Info, “Doctorate In Cold Rockin’ It”
The O.C. Supertones held a top spot in many Christian music fans’ hearts, with their light-hearted – yet always deeply spiritual – ska music. After Five Iron Frenzy called it quits, The Supertones ended up not being too far behind. In 2008, their lead singer, Matt “Mojo” Morginsky, took some […]
We Recommend: Philmore, “Philmore”
I sorta hesitate to recommend this album to the fine JfH readers. Reason being is because, in all honesty, it’s not really all that good of an album. But Philmore‘s self-titled album is fun, quirky and, if nothing else, entertaining. Now “Our Finest Hour” is a good song, so it does […]
We Recommend: Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, “II”
When a new band was announced that would be fronted by Underoath’s old vocalist, I was on board. Maylene and the Sons of Disaster‘s self-titled debut didn’t really catch me too well though. Then they released II. I was sold. It was raw. It was southern. It made me feel tough when […]
We Recommend: Hoi Polloi, “Happy Ever After”
Over the weekend, my wife and I took a mini-road trip to Maryland to see Jars of Clay perform an acoustic set of their entire 1995 debut album from start to finish. To prepare for the road trip, I made a playlist on my iPod of selections new and old, […]
We Recommend: The Ember Days, “The Ember Days EP”
This young group of musicians are wonderful. They write worship songs full of heart and passion, and they also craft ambient, well-written music as the plate the message is served on (isn’t the meal more appetizing and appealing when the plate is clean and fresh instead of stale and worn […]
We Recommend: Five Iron Frenzy 2, “Electric Boogaloo”
Five Iron Frenzy‘s DVD came out recently, and so I’ve been in a big FIF state of mind. I watched it and saw that the general consensus amongst the bandmembers, in regards to their personal favorite FIF album, was Five Iron Frenzy 2: Electric Boogaloo. So I listened to it the […]
We Recommend: Falling Up, “Captiva”
What does Nevertheless, Capital Lights, Delirious?, and Peter Furler all have in common? They all exited the music scene in 2009. However, while all of those losses were significant, the news that Falling Up (one of my most favorite bands) had disbanded was truly demoralizing. Their all-time best album will always be […]
We Recommend: Spoken, “Echoes of the Spirit Still Dwell”
I recently heard Spoken‘s self-titled album for the first time, and I was very impressed with it. I kinda lost interest in them after A Moment of Imperfect Clarity, and I ended up skipping over Last Chance To Breathe. But I popped in Spoken, and it blew me away. It made me think that […]
We Recommend: Owl City, “Ocean Eyes”
I stumbled upon Owl City long after many many people. In fact, I hadn’t even heard the mega popular “Fireflies” until it was a free download from iTunes (thanks again, iTunes). So I’m not too familiar with his older stuff. I did get a chance to listen to some of it, and […]
