In high school, I was the definition of a puppy dog crush, chasing this girl around as best I could without being too obvious. She always seemed cool, collected, calculated, mysterious… all the things I was not, growing up. I was attracted to that, but also saw it as a […]

We Recommend: Capital Lights, “This Is An Outrage!”
According to recent reports, the demise of Tooth & Nail punk rock group Capital Lights may be slightly exaggerated. However, as it stands now, the band has only left us two items to hold onto: One lone, but touching Christmas song, (“His Favorite Christmas Story”) and their outstanding debut, This Is An Outrage!. […]
“A World of Change (AKA A Trip to the Mall)” by John DiBiase
The past few weeks have certainly been a mix of crazy-busy-ness and “firsts” as a parent. Little Will has grown two teeth, had his first sips of juice from a kiddie mug, and treated his Dad’s lap like a Jumperoo while rockin’ out to music on my office stereo — […]
We Recommend: O.C. Supertones, “Adventures Of The O.C. Supertones”
It’s been over a decade and a half since the height of the third wave ska movement. The O.C. Supertones were able to help spread the movement into the Christian music industry because of the success of acts like the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Reel Big Fish. Matt Morginsky and crew had several […]

“On Set! Filming Abandon, ‘Feel It In Your Heart’ Music Video” by Ryan Barbee
Have you ever wondered what happens while a music video is being made? Me too! Thanks to the awesome fellas in Abandon… my curious hunger has been fulfilled. It was a cold February morning when I made my way to the small city just outside of Atlanta known as Maysville […]
We Recommend: Rebecca St. James, “If I Had One Chance to Tell You Something”
With her first studio album in almost six years releasing this week, it seems only fitting to look back at the previous recordings of Rebecca St. James. While listening to her new album I Will Praise You, I found that her previous 2005 record, If I Had One Chance To Tell You Something followed […]
“Ask the Easter Bunny” by Scott Fryberger
Over the past couple years, as Easter begins to roll around, I’ve begun hearing something that I don’t remember from my childhood. I wasn’t raised in the Church, so I was never actually taught the real meaning behind Easter. I just knew that on Easter Sunday, I was gonna get […]
“There and Back Again” by Adam Dawson
Woah. We’ve just come out of the first two performances we’ve ever done in public, and it was amazing! New Day Dawning played their first gig at a youth music venue called Zeal (based in West Auckland, New Zealand) and the response was very encouraging. There must have been about 70-80 people […]
We Recommend: Andrew Peterson, “The Far Country”
I confess, as much as I profess my love for artsy folk music, I really didn’t get to know Andrew Peterson until about a year ago. But when I first heard last year’s Counting Stars, I was left floored by his lyricism and wondering what I’d been missing for the last decade. In […]
