Yet another reason for me to not be happy that Im not at Cornerstone Festival right now, The Red Baron have unofficially announced that their shows at the festival will be their last. Waiting for Blood & Ink Records to confirm..
I have seen the artwork for The Almost’s new album called Monster Monster. Its awesome, but Tooth & Nail wont let anyone post it. So you will have to wait. Sorry.
So, some of the best news EVER! Sunny Day Real Estate (featuring Jeremy Enigk as frontman) have reunited all their original members and are going on tour. Alongside the tour will be digitally remastered versions of both of their classic albums, along with LP versions with new liner note artwork. We already have our tickets to the Austin, TX show… Continue reading | 1 Comment
So Ive only got three albums for you. There are actually two more, but I already put them up in previous weeks, so I don’t really feel like posting them again (the new CDs from Mr.Del and The Crucified can be found in previous posts). I know that sounded really snarky, but lets be honest, no one is reading this anyway…

In 2003, a post-hardcore band calling themselves Thrice unleashed their major label debut on the world. The Artist In The Ambulance was a crushing display of talent, energy, and honesty. Despite the fact that the band was labeled as “hard rock”, leader Dustin Kensrue’s lyrics reflected a more insightful and passionate way of looking at the world. For many, the crown jewel of this album was the title track; a song warning against apathy and being grateful for the time given.

Hundred Year Storm is a progressive rock band from right here in Austin, TX. After years of extensive touring and a strong fan base, the band kind of dropped off the map a few years back. In 2009, they are back with a new album called The Future Belongs To The Brave. We were able to catch up with them at their CD release party/BBQ and talk about the history of the band, the sound of their new album, and what comes next for this extremely talented band.
NOTE:The video at the very bottom is actually just audio with a picture of their new album. I would suggest listening to it while you watch the interview.
For those that dont know, Voices Of The Underground was a series we developed to reach a broad range of opinions on some the topics we talk about here on the website. The idea was simple, ask a large group of musicians the same 15 questions, then roll out the responses one question at a time per week. What resulted was an amazing ride through the hearts and minds of the artists that are creating the music you love. As we gear up for a new Voices Of The Underground, we thought it would be cool to highlight some our favorite responses from the 15 questions that we sent out months ago. Enjoy:
E. Bry is a hip-hop style DJ who makes some pretty sic beats. In fact he has made a few of them, and collected them in Resume Vol.1, and is now giving it away. Thats right, free (like it says in the title). So download it and go into chill out mode, because E. Bry’s stuff is smooth, layered, and a lot of fun.
For fans of: DJ Shadow, MF Doom, Flying Locust
The link below will take you to a Mediafire site. Click on that button in the middle of the page, save the .ZIP file to your computer, and enjoy the grooves.
ANNOUNCEMENT: For the next few weeks, we will be not being posting a whole lot of new stuff. I will try and keep you up to date with the news, and get some free downloads up, but beyond that we are going on a bit of a blog hiatus. The reason is that we are killing ourselves to launch the all new The(ONE)21 Music website, including the biggest and most comprehensive source for Christian music artists on the web. We pray that you are patient with us and understand. Good things are coming…here are your headlines:
Brightwood has a video for their song “Swan Song”. Watch it below:
Rock/progressive rock band Abel have signed to Dreamt Music/Facedown Records. Read Abel announcement.
On the surface, this is a fun quirky rap tune. However, if you listen closely and you watch the video the real meaning begins to surface. As frontman Fischer stands in the supermarket check out line we begin to fill his isolation as a series of characters cross his path. He observes them from afar,so immersed in his own needs that he never connects with another human being despite encounter after encounter. The isolation of modern living permeates Fischer’s mundane activities, just as it does our lives.
So there is some great stuff coming out this week. I would highly suggest buying some CDs through our site today. If you are partial to iTunes, I will have those up tomorrow, but for now GO SUPPORT THIS MUSIC SCENE!!

A father, a son and a believer, I have so many experiences of the beauty and exhilaration of fatherhood. I have been blessed. My father set a beautiful example. I have been able to enjoy my sons all the way into their young adult lives. I stand in the transcendent glow of our heavenly Father, no matter if I am the obedient or prodigal son. So I put forth these ideas, not as an expert, but as an exuberant practitioner.
Three Simple Steps To Real Fatherhood
Be There- The deepest magic of fatherhood is to be present. When my boys were just starting elementary school I changed jobs from one in which I worked 65 hours per week to one in which I worked 45 hours per week. The block building, morning… Continue reading
