So for those of you who read this site often, you know that when a month is about to close we take a little time and reflect. On music videos that is. There were quite a few this month, so obviously these may not be YOUR favorite, but then again you can always leave a comment and tell us what you think.

John is one of those guys in the Christian hip-hop scene that seems to want to surprise people at every turn. His quirky video for his latest single is no different.

This is actually kind of old. Michael Manasseh is a graphic designer, photographer, producer, and pretty awesome hip-hop artist. Mikestands features an array of interesting samples, honest lyrics, and a variation of styles that makes the entire album fresh from track one to the end. This awesome offering is what believers should be doing with the genre of underground hip-hop. Heartfelt, intelligent, and interesting.

So if you were here last week, we introduced you to Austin’s own Jets Under Fire. They play progressive atmospheric rock, and they embody the description 100%. Lots of soaring melody, guitar effects, electronic under tones, and cryptic lyrics create an all-in-one type of experience for fans of trippy, dream inducing rock music. This time around, they keep things a little on the up-tempo, exploring even more of their already expansive sound. In fact the last track even has a little Nine Inch Nails to it, if I can say that. Download it to see what I am talking about.

Two bands, Texas In July and An Early Ending, who were on tour together, were involved in a massive car crash while traveling between cities. Several members in both bands are in serious condition, and while none of the band members were killed, the woman who caused the wreck died from a heart attack moments before the accident. Please be in prayer for both bands. Read Texas In July statement. Read An Early Ending statement.

So here is the thing, and Im not trying to be rude, but if you have no idea who Norma Jean is, you have been living under a rock the last 6 six years. This is one of the bands that has had some much crossover appeal, that people now classify OTHER bands by saying stuff like “oh, they sound like Norma Jean”. The band started when most of the core members were in high school, and a after a few members changes over the years, Norma Jean is still taking over the world. We caught up with frontman Cory at Red Letter Rock fest this year…and man, he was……very honest.

So after a few week of hip-hop and electronica, I thought we could feature a little rock for a change. I believe this particular free download is way great. Jets Under Fire are a progressive rock band from right here in ol Austin Texas. Their music runs the gamut of mellow Radiohead-esque dream pop, to straight atmospheric trance rock. All in all these guys are all about creating a heavy mood with their intelligent blend of guitar rock and electronic back beats. EP1 features three songs, and if you are REALLY nice to me I will post EP2 next week.
