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 […]
We Recommend: “Family Force 5’s Christmas Pageant”
All year long, we had been hearing rumors (and subsequently confirmations and details) about a Family Force 5 Christmas album. Well, back in October (kinda early, but whatever), we were treated to their take on Christmas songs, as well as a couple of their own that they wrote for the album. The […]
We Recommend: mewithoutYou, “It’s All Crazy! It’s All False! It’s All a Dream! It’s Alright”
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: 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 […]
“Skelanimals” by Scott Fryberger
Long have I been dreading the day. The day when I would discover a new trend and think, “Kids these days!” Methinks this day has come. Now, look, I’m only 25. 25 = not old. I realize that. But I just can’t help but feel that way sometimes. or at […]
We Recommend: Roper, “Brace Yourself for the Mediocre”
I loved Five Iron Frenzy. I still do. I always will. When they broke up, I was sad. I remember talking to Reese at their last show in Kansas City, and he said he was working on Guerilla Rodeo, and there was hope. When all they ended up doing was […]
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 […]
“What are You doing, God?” by Scott Fryberger
Let’s rewind to late 2008/early 2009. I lived in Topeka, KS. My girlfriend, Sharie (pronounced Shawr-ee, not Share-ee) lived in Cuero, TX. I wanted to be with Sharie. She wanted to be with me. We prayed a lot, and I ended up moving to Texas to be with her. As of […]
We Recommend: Heath McNease, “The Heath McNease Fan Club Meets Tonight”
I actually took a chance on this CD when I bought it. I saw it sitting on the new release rack, and had no idea who it was. I had never even heard this dude’s name. But I looked at the tracklist and I saw guest appearances from Pigeon John, […]
