We are still recovering from SXSW still, but things are beginning to return to normal for the site. We are working hard to get the database built, get the word out, and talk to new bands. We will be rolling out a ton of new Christian Artist To Know posts, so get ready to expand your mind.

Here are the new items to come out of the Christian music world this week.  There isn’t much, but I try to post REAL news items such as interviews, announcements, developments, ect.  A lot of bands post new songs on their myspace or talk about pre-ordering their CD. That’s cool and all, but I try to keep this a bit more focused. Anyway, links to iTunes and Amazon MP3 are included in the headlines so you can go check out the music we are talking about..
