Voices Of The Underground is a series that seeks to explore one question from many different angles. Every week, we will ask one question of many of your favorite music artists. We will post their responses below, and what you will find is that there is never truly one answer to every question, but instead a whole world of ideas that come from simple matters of taste, to deep held beliefs. Our hope is that through this series you are able to see past the promo pictures and the stage persona, and get to know the hearts of believers who are creating music every day.

The good people at HeBrews Fort Wayne (non profit coffe shop/venue) were nice enough to alert me to a cool little sampler that they had put together. They are based out of Indiana, and they have some cool stuff to say.
“The vision behind HeBrews is simple. We are here to provide a coffee house and music venue that is heavily focused on ministry. Churches often start coffee houses, only for it to close down a few years later. Our vision has always been, and will always be, to provide a place for ministry, and to bless the bands that come through our doors. So many bands have told me how difficult it is on the road, and… Continue reading

Free Music is a myth. There is no free music. All music comes at a price, if you are willing to pay for it.
Relevant magazine posted an article last week Why Music Should Be Free that has generate huge comment activity and it has certainly caught my attention. Free music is a highly debated topic in my family and circle of friends. I own over 1,000 LPs, 1,500 CDs and I have attended over 1,000 shows. I happily pay a dollar or two more for a CD to purchase it at our locally owned record store than chain behemoths WalMart or Best Buy I think you can guess where I stand on the subject of free music.
The article has a few absurdities presented with the earnest sobriety of an… Continue reading | 1 Comment

So you may not have any idea about the website Beehave.fr (great name by the way), and that is ok, because we don’t really know much about it either. It looks like a really cool website, so it is entirely in language that we cant read. It seems though that the kind people over at Beehave.fr were nice enough to put together a little sampler for all of us. Im sorry, I misspoke, they put together a MONSTER sampler for us! 60 freakin tracks, from all kinds of bands and artists! There is hardcore, worship, some electronica, quirky indie rock, progressive experimental rock, and so much more!
So I will shut up in a… Continue reading

So Davey Jone’s Locker is this wild Pop Rock/Screamo/Progressive Rock band from Norway. I first heard about them over at Indie Vision Music, and I was impressed by their ability to keep things very melodic while keeping it very out of control. They arnt as hard to listen to as I am making them out to be, but they definitely have alot of energy element behind them. The best way to try to describe them was if Panic At The Disco and Fall Out Boy were all in the same band. You have the weird, off the wall quirkiness of Panic, and Fall… Continue reading
