INTERVIEWER: Sara Napier

Safe Haven is an American alternative rock-punk band from Southern California. Formed in the summer of 2003 in their parent's garage in La Mirada, California, the group consists of three brothers--Gil Sandoval (Vocals/Bass), Dan Sandoval (Drums), Mani Sandoval (Lead Guitar--alongside with childhood friend Josh Ledezma (Guitar). After three years the band landed a West Coast tour with a three-song demo, performing at public parks, parking lots, bars, churches, and clubs. Their debut album, "Setting Up & Tearing Down," was released in 2007 independently after struggling financially to fund their own record. In 2009 the band was signed to indie label Live Love Records, which released their second full-length album, "In The Middle Of Destruction." A percentage of these album sales would support various humanitarian projects in Africa and Guatemala. The band found itself on various tours across the U.S., Hawaii, Mexico, Central America, and Asia. In December of 2010 the band traveled to Puerto Barrios, Guatemala, where they have currently sponsored a Children's Orphanage for the past five years.

INTERVIEWER: Brian Morrissette

Back in the late ‘90s, Miss Angie was basically living every aspiring musician’s dream. Proving that female Christian singers could really rock, a rarity for women in that particular era, her uniquely retro sound, quirky songwriting style and strong biblical message endeared her to countless fans. With two critically acclaimed albums to her credit, namely 100 Million Eyeballs and Triumphantine and hit singles on Christian radio, her tour schedule was busier than ever—not exactly a bad problem to have, given the often-fickle nature of the music biz. But as great as everything was going professionally, the precarious sparkle of the spotlight wore off pretty quickly. ...(read interview)

INTERVIEWER: Antonio De Jesus Ibarra

With melodic harmonizing guitars, catchy choruses, in your face riffs, explosive double bass, and a pounding low end bass guitar, The Texas Christian Metal/Hard Rock outfit Arisen has it all. Originating in New Braunfels, Texas, the band has played shows at Harmony Sweet in New Braunfels, Texas, and also The White Rabbit in San Antonio, Texas. Long time friends Jonathan Norris(guitar), and Cameron Huser(Bass) set out look for prospective members in the summer of 2011. Not too much later, the two recruited Alejandro Guerra on drums in August, and two months later found the longtime awaited vocalist, Jeremy Landry. Sharing the same Christian beliefs as one another, they decided to come up with a name that would represent their love for Christ, and chose to use scripture to come up with a name idea. (1 Corinthians 15:12-22) is the story of the resurrection of Christ from the dead, and from that scripture, we get that Christ has "Arisen", and that is where it all began. Arisen has released a self-produced demo for promotion. An EP to be released in April of 2012. Arisen will be playing shows to promote their upcoming EP all across Texas, so keep your eyes and ears open, Arisen is back on the scene....(read interview)

Sometimes the most compelling art can come from life’s greatest struggles, which in the case of Tooth & Nail newcomers I Am Empire, only added fuel to the group’s already blazing alternative rock fire.

INTERVIEWER: Bryce Cooley

In the mid-1990s, over a million people died on the other side of the world, and hardly anybody noticed. Millions starved, hundreds of thousands were imprisoned in concentration camps, and tens of thousands crossed borders seeking food, money, protection and even freedom that they never knew existed. That place was, and continues to be, a land with virtually no freedoms - of speech, assembly, religion, movement and more....(read interview)

My name is John Ball, and I write what a lot of people call Christian music. Really what it is is an overflow of my heart. It’s a response to struggles, daily experiences, and a passion for the living God who has saved my soul. I want to create music that isn’t the same regurgitated Christian lines, the same chords progressions, and the same uncreative "junk" that has been heard over and over again....(read interview)
