I have decided that mewithoutYou are musical geniuses. I understand that not everyone likes their music, and I can accept that. I can’t understand or accept when people say that they aren’t good. mewithoutYou is good. VERY good. It’s All Crazy!… turned a lot of people off, but I can’t get enough of it. […]

We Recommend: Switchfoot, “The Beautiful Letdown”
With the release of Switchfoot’s Hello Hurricane this week (finally!), it’s caused me to kind of reflect on what has been a great career of music for this San Diego rock band. I first heard Switchfoot in 1997 when The Legend Of Chin released, but actually didn’t fully take notice of the band until that […]
We Recommend: Jonezetta, “Popularity”
For me, indie rock is hit and miss; sometimes it can be pure pretentious futility, while other times it is profound and full of life. Tooth & Nail made a wise choice in signing Jonezetta, who thankfully seem to fit the latter description. While their sophomore record Cruel To Be Young was a […]
We Recommend: Grammatrain, “Lonely House”
Ah yes, grunge. The Seattle heavy rock sound made popular in the nineties by artists like Nirvana spilled over to the Christian market and Forefront Records put out Grammatrain‘s Lonely House in 1995. Sadly, the label would kind of force the band to water down their sound with their 1997 sophomore record, Flying, but Lonely […]
We Recommend: Owl City, “Ocean Eyes”
Musically, I’m a pretty easy guy to impress. There are multitudes of bands/artists that I enjoy listening to and there is a huge catalog of songs that I like. On the other hand, it’s not easy to make that impression last long. Back in late May, both Chris Sligh and […]
We Recommend: Five Iron Frenzy, “The End Is Here”
I think I say this each time, even on things that are unrelated to Five Iron, but Five Iron Frenzy is my favorite band. And I’m super excited about the release of their DVD this winter. I know, it’s not unusual for some deranged FIF messageboard geeks to start rumors about the […]
We Recommend: Jars Of Clay, “The Long Fall Back To Earth”
This Spring, one of CCM’s staple acts, Jars Of Clay, released one of their strongest albums yet, the epicly titled The Long Fall Back To Earth. Over this past weekend, I caught the band’s live performance at Disney’s “Night Of Joy” festival and the foursome put on a great mix of old […]
We Recommend: Showbread, “Age Of Reptiles”
This is where a lot of Showbread fans realized that they weren’t true Showbread fans. So many times, when an artist or band changes their style/genre, fans jump off the bandwagon. As sad as it is, it happens. And with a band like Showbread, a group of musicians who don’t want to […]
We Recommend: dc Talk, “Jesus Freak”
Is it really possible that none of us have recommended this record yet? Sheesh! Well, maybe it’s a given by the name of this site that this record is a hearty recommendation from us, but as we celebrate our thirteenth year online this month, it seems only fitting to dig […]
We Recommend: Holland, “Photographs and Tidalwaves”
My best friend at the time, Ethan WIllis introduced me to the sounds of Holland. Unfortunately, I didn’t really get into it until they had disbanded and The Lonely Hearts had formed. Still, there is a lovely sense of nostalgia that overcomes me every time I spin this disc. Those Holland […]
