As Third Day gets ready to release a new album next week (titled Move — we recommend it as well!), it’s tough not to look back over what the band has created since their 1996 debut. But in 1999, the band released a more rootsy album titled Time, leaving behind a lot of […]

We Recommend: Jars Of Clay, “Much Afraid”
Much Afraid was actually one of the first albums I really got into. Although Jars Of Clay’s sophomore project isn’t as predominant as their classic self-titled debut, it still manages to stand on its feet. The first half of the album features great pop rock tunes like “Overjoyed,” “Fade To Grey,” and […]
We Recommend: As Cities Burn, “Come Now Sleep”
As Cities Burn had a great start on Solid State Records, but after Son, I Loved You At Your Darkest, they seemed to be done due to having no lead vocalist anymore. Thankfully, they got the position filled and they came back with Come Now Sleep. It was one of those seemingly rare […]
We Recommend: 2010 Summer Music Guide
I thought a “special edition” of JFH’s “We Recommend” was in order to feature Summertime recommendations. Now, keep in mind – this is by NO means a comprehensive list of music that is perfect for your Summer music enjoyment, but this is simply some tunes we recommend for crusing to […]
We Recommend: Mojo and the Info, “Doctorate In Cold Rockin’ It”
The O.C. Supertones held a top spot in many Christian music fans’ hearts, with their light-hearted – yet always deeply spiritual – ska music. After Five Iron Frenzy called it quits, The Supertones ended up not being too far behind. In 2008, their lead singer, Matt “Mojo” Morginsky, took some […]
We Recommend: Philmore, “Philmore”
I sorta hesitate to recommend this album to the fine JfH readers. Reason being is because, in all honesty, it’s not really all that good of an album. But Philmore‘s self-titled album is fun, quirky and, if nothing else, entertaining. Now “Our Finest Hour” is a good song, so it does […]
We Recommend: Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, “II”
When a new band was announced that would be fronted by Underoath’s old vocalist, I was on board. Maylene and the Sons of Disaster‘s self-titled debut didn’t really catch me too well though. Then they released II. I was sold. It was raw. It was southern. It made me feel tough when […]
We Recommend: Hoi Polloi, “Happy Ever After”
Over the weekend, my wife and I took a mini-road trip to Maryland to see Jars of Clay perform an acoustic set of their entire 1995 debut album from start to finish. To prepare for the road trip, I made a playlist on my iPod of selections new and old, […]
We Recommend: The Ember Days, “The Ember Days EP”
This young group of musicians are wonderful. They write worship songs full of heart and passion, and they also craft ambient, well-written music as the plate the message is served on (isn’t the meal more appetizing and appealing when the plate is clean and fresh instead of stale and worn […]
We Recommend: Five Iron Frenzy 2, “Electric Boogaloo”
Five Iron Frenzy‘s DVD came out recently, and so I’ve been in a big FIF state of mind. I watched it and saw that the general consensus amongst the bandmembers, in regards to their personal favorite FIF album, was Five Iron Frenzy 2: Electric Boogaloo. So I listened to it the […]
