From Stryper.com:
Hey Everyone,
Just as promised, I wanted to outline some more details regarding the new Stryper record. We grew up listening to many different styles of music and there is a list of bands that influenced us throughout our musical education. Bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Scorpions, Van Halen, UFO, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, [...]
Time to update my list of Bands I Have Seen Live.
I am not listing every single band I’ve ever seen. There are plenty of opening acts I was forced to sit through to get to the main event. Festivals are similar… lots of bands I “saw” but don’t care about having seen. [...]
Xtian geekrock act BLEACH (iTunes) may be alive like Frankenstein. The website bleachisalive.com popped up recently (via frontman Davy Baysinger’s myspace). Rumour is a new Bleach album in 2010…
…WHAT’S THIS? O! Bleach (with an old press photo) is also listed as performing at Cornerstone 2010!
Bleach is one of those bands that truly got better [...]
The new album from Living Sacrifice is out. But you probably already have it if you’re a fan.
Holly Williams finally released a sophomore album! It is beautiful indie-alt-country, with some traditional stuff wrapped up in a modern candy-coated shell.
Demon Hunter has posted some songs from their upcoming album on myspace. If you’re [...]
RILEY ARMSTRONG – La Loop
Released 2006
Sevenspin Records
www.rileyarmstrong.com
Riley Armstrong is a new experience to this reviewer. Oh, I knew he existed in all of his former dreadlocked glory, but only in March 2006 did I hear any of his material for the first time. That solo show was wonderful, full of wit, charm, [...]
DEMON HUNTER
The Triptych
Released 2005
Solid State Records
I almost passed up The Triptych after Demon Hunter’s underwhelming sophomore effort Summer of Darkness soured me on the group. Fortunately, I heard the record in a friend’s car and found myself impressed. Fifteen bucks and repeated listens later I feel confident to say that Demon Hunter’s [...]

Difficult.
Trying to convey how every urgent phrase Andrew “Macabre” Schwab spits out sounds like it has been wrenched forcefully from his entrails? Writing a review that gets across how Project 86 is hard rock with definite punk and metal elements yet is [...]
PROJECT 86 – …And The Rest Will Follow
Tooth & Nail Records
Released 2005
www.project86.com
Andrew Schwab is quite possibly the most intelligent and unique lyricist/singers in hard music. The band supports him in this lofty endeavour while staking their own claim as being a truly excellent hard music group, outfitted with killer riffs, frightening intensity and brilliant [...]
HOLLY WILLIAMS – The Ones We Never Knew
Released 2004
Universal South Music

My goodness. I love this girl. I wonder if she bled into the studio microphones and all over her guitar? Because it sounds as though she’s given most (if not all) of herself on a record containing heartbreak, hope, insight and wisdom [...]
