View ArticleTenth Avenue North- Cathedrals
I’ve always held a special spot in my heart for the music of Tenth Avenue North. They’ve never done much of a themed album before, simply recording songs that are important to them, and in turn,...

View ArticleNEEDTOBREATHE- Rivers In The Wasteland
Let’s be honest: I’ve been waiting for this album for a while. NEEDTOBREATHE is one of those bands you listen to when you need a break. A soft, country-rock sound-check. Gritty vocals-check. I...
View ArticleRend Collective- The Art of Celebration
For those who are new to this group, Rend Collective is a band from Northern Ireland. Their focus is worship, and it’s worship like I’ve never quite heard before. They have three previous studio...

I was so excited about this one, that I supersized the picture for you all. I saw Switchfoot’s much-anticipated documentary. It was unbelievable. I would leave it at that, but it doesn’t even cut it....
