Tal & Acacia, for whatever reason, just never really took off when they hit the scene. Despite the fact that their debut album on Essential Records, Wake Me, was full of catchy indie pop goodness with captivating voices (and was even supported with a tour alongside Superchick), Talitha and Acacia Wulfing’s first […]

We Recommend: Sarah Kelly, “Where The Past Meets Today”
I used to love making my own mixtapes and CD’s over the years, but with the wonder of iTunes, iPods and iPhones, having your own personal, practically perfect, radio station has become much more of a reality. You can have your favorite songs in one location and merely hit “shuffle” […]
We Recommend: Plumb, “Blink”
I’ll never forget listening to Plumb‘s lullaby album Blink for the first time. For me, it’d be almost three years before I even knew what parenthood looked like from that perspective, but I remember letting the beautiful harmonies and Tiffany’s soft vocals wash over me as I sat in an easy chair listening […]
We Recommend: Leeland, “The Great Awakening”
Ever since I was in my mid-teens, I’ve experienced the unique phenomenon where a band — or in this case, an album — doesn’t really strike a chord with me until I have experienced it live. Bands like Code of Ethics, Bride, Sixpence None the Richer, John Reuben, and more […]
“Music To Fall Asleep To” by John DiBiase
Today, via JFH’s Twitter account, I had the sudden urge to quiz those monitoring their Twitter feeds about what music they enjoy falling asleep to. When I was younger, I used to always lie in bed with my CD player (Yep.. this was pre-iPod days!), and fall asleep to whatever […]
We Recommend: Playdough & Heath McNease, “Wed, White and Wu”
Independent rapper Heath McNease recently released a magnificent new album called Thrift Store Jesus. But just a few months prior to that, he dropped a full-length mixtape with hip hop buddy Playdough. Wed, White & Wu was seventeen tracks of Heath, Playdough and some guests rapping over some classic Wu Tang Clan beats. The […]
We Recommend: Kari Jobe, “Where I Find You”
For the few who do not know, I’m more picky about worship music than I’d like to be. It makes it difficult for me to find music to worship the Lord to. So even if I only find a few songs on a record I really like, it’s a big […]
We Recommend: David Crowder Band, “Church Music”
I had liked David Crowder*Band for some time before I actually owned any of their albums. I had heard DC*B’s music, and fallen in love with A Collision, but I don’t think I actually owned an album of theirs until Church Music came out. John hyped it up to me, and since we usually agree […]
We Recommend: The Ws, “Fourth From The Last”
With the popularity of the third-wave ska movement came a similar and more short-lived movement: Swing Revival. While many Christian bands jumped on the third-wave ska bandwagon, really only one band joined the swing crowd from the market. The W’s joined the likes of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and other secular artists for […]
We Recommend: All Sons and Daughters, “Brokenness Aside EP”
Anyone who knows me knows I’m pretty picky about worship music. This isn’t anything I’m proud of at all, of course, especially since it makes it very, very difficult to find worship music I can turn off critical ears toward and worship my Savior with. Part of it may be […]
