LABEL: None
REVIEWED ON: February 1st, 2012
REVIEWED BY: Brian Morrissette

“Sinai Vessel who?” would had been my answer if you would have asked me five or six months ago about this band. Yeah, I had maybe posted something on Christcore's Facebook page about how they were giving away their music for free, and I mi... (read more)

RELEASE DATE: January 24th, 2012
LABEL: Slospeak Records
REVIEWED ON: January 28th, 2012
REVIEWED BY: Brian Morrissette

Pioneer (formerly called News From Verona) is a self-defined American rock n' roll band. Immediately I thought, “I'll be the judge of that!” I'll get back to that later on. For now, I'll fill ya in on how Pioneer came about. In... (read more)

RELEASE DATE: January 6th, 2012
LABEL: None
REVIEWED ON: January 26th, 2012
REVIEWED BY: Brian Morrissette

There seems to be a ton of new indie rock bands popping up lately. This can be good or bad. One of these bands is Brave Season, who, if they hadn't emailed me, I probably never would had heard of.  That would have been a shame. The music that the... (read more)

Grave Robber : You're All Gonna Die

RELEASE DATE: October 11th, 2011
LABEL: Rottweiler Records
REVIEWED ON: January 23rd, 2012
REVIEWED BY: Brian Morrissette

Horror punk seems to be a dead genre, pun intended. The sole active Christian band of this genre is Grave Robber.  One reason, perhaps,  why there isn't a large Christian Horror punk scene is that it is a strange genre. This doesn't stop... (read more)

RELEASE DATE: September 2nd, 2008
LABEL: Swoon Moon Music
REVIEWED ON: December 2nd, 2011
REVIEWED BY: Brian Morrissette

There are so many female pop singers out there that many become overlooked or neglected. One of these artists is singer/songwriter Brooke Waggoner. One of her better albums is Heal for the Honey, which was released by Swoon Moon Music back in 2008. Brooke’s music styli... (read more)

REVIEWED ON: October 26th, 2011
REVIEWED BY: Joshua Clark

What to say about Switchfoot? Well there is a lot, but I will try to sum it up since most likely you have heard of these guys in some shape or form before. Switchfoot has gone from a humble start to mainstream stardom as a multi-platinum and Grammy award-winning band. Vice Verses... (read more)

LABEL: Rottweiler Records
REVIEWED ON: October 21st, 2011
REVIEWED BY: Brian Morrissette

Deathcore bands are a dime a dozen nowadays. It is extremely hard for bands in this genre to stand out. Behold the Kingdom is another band trying to get people’s attention in a overstuffed genre. They recently signed to punk rock/hardcore start-up label Rottweiler Records. On R... (read more)

LABEL: Independent
REVIEWED ON: October 23rd, 2011
REVIEWED BY: Brian Morrissette

I usually don’t listen to, or for that matter enjoy, pop/rock music very much. It might be because I’m more of an indie and folk rock fan. On those occasions when I do take a listen to pop/rock, I will pick up this record from Careo. I’ll be talking more about why I... (read more)
