We Recommend: Between Thieves, “Between Thieves”
I’m going to go out on a limb here, as I usually do with these recommendations, and feature a little known project by a band called Between Thieves. I often find myself recommending music on here that would be deemed fairly old (maybe even out-dated), but I think part of the […]
“God’s Warning and Rewards” by J.M. Farro
If it seems like I talk about the Word of God a lot in my writing, there’s a very good reason for that. The Word has changed my life, my family, and our circumstances, and I am determined to believe it, and to devote myself to it, all the rest […]
“Is Music Piracy An Issue?” by Roger Gelwicks
An issue I feel is very current in the music industry, as well as very relevant, is music piracy. The following is an excerpt from a paper I wrote a paper on the subject. This is indeed a controversial topic, so I’d love to see what comments you all have. ———————————————— Hard […]
“The Grass Is Always Greener” Song Story by Christa Black

We Recommend: Your Heart, “Autumn”
For a guy who puts out several EPs a month with six different projects, you might think that Andrew Huang goes for quantity over quality. However, the man is consistently solid with very few missteps along the way. One of his best pieces of work is his album Autumn from his indie/folk/pop […]
“Black Monday” Song Story by Christa Black
Excerpt taken from Chapter 3 of Christa Black’s book, God Loves Ugly: I got to my hotel in Washington D.C., dropped off my bags as quickly as I could, and headed out in full patriotic fashion to explore my nation’s capital. I only had several hours to wander before my gig […]

Recently I had the privilege of attending Winter Jam. The following day at work, my co-worker who covered for me inquired about my absence. I went on to tell him that I went to a Christian concert. He asked who was playing there, and I said some Christian rock bands […]
