Several years ago, I was all about watching TVU. My church had it playing in its game room, and whenever I went in there, I sat and watched video after video. In 2004, a new band had one of its videos playing, and from the opening screams of “Walls,” I […]

We Recommend: Bradley Hathaway, “A Mouth Full of Dust”
I was introduced to this poet named Bradley Hathaway in late 2004. He had a couple of his recorded poems on his Purevolume site, and I really dug them, especially one entitled “The Hug Poem.” I liked his stuff, but didn’t think much of it till mid-2006, when I got an opportunity […]
We Recommend: Staple, “Of Truth and Reconciliation”
It was just recently announced here on JfH that Staple is getting back together. This was exciting news to me. And due to that news, I thought it appropriate to recommend their final album before the break up, Of Truth and Reconciliation. Lots of straight up rock bands are boring nowadays. Just bland and formulaic. […]
We Recommend: Five Iron Frenzy, “All the Hype That Money Can Buy”
I hated this CD the first time I heard it. I became a Christian in late 2000, and for Christmas that year, a family in my church that knew of my recent conversion got me a Christian music sampler called Simply Impossible, containing bands like Philmore, The Normals, The Elms and Five […]
We Recommend: The Glorious Unseen, “Tonight The Stars Speak”
Let’s face it: if you’re familiar with JesusfreakHideout, you may know that most of us are not huge fans of the modern praise & worship scene. It’s not anything to do with the fact that it’s praise & worship, cause we all sing those very songs from our hearts at […]
We Recommend: Lucerin Blue, “Tales of the Knife”
Lucerin Blue was somewhat overlooked back when they released Tales of the Knife. It’s a very solid rock album, and it did go over fairly well, but a lot of Christian rock fans I know haven’t really heard of the band. After this release, they recorded a few more demos poised for […]
“I feel like an idiot” by Scott Fryberger
Ever hear a new band, only to dismiss it for sounding like another band that you oh-so-badly do not enjoy in the slightest? I must have been in a bad mood the day I first heard Capital Lights. It was either that, or I only listened to “Outrage”, which is […]
“1996, here I come!” by Scott Fryberger
Ever since I had to sell my Wii (I needed money…..sigh), I’ve been missing playing video games. I’m not a huge gamer, but I do enjoy them. I’ve always loved many of the games that have been released through Nintendo. So a week or two ago, I went to my […]
“I Really Like Brownies” by Scott Fryberger
This fish my mom has…it looks like it’s always dead. It doesn’t do anything. Except float. Stupid fish. Issues. Issues a-plenty. Oh wait…sorry, I meant tissues. Tissues a-plenty. Allergy season is upon us. I mean, for me, allergy season is every season. All the times. (I’m not a good writer – […]
