WOW! | Posted February-13-2013
The title basically sums up my thoughts about this album. Ironically though it took a while to grow on me. After purchasing the album the day of release, I only really listened to one track up until December and it is then that I found out what I had been missing!
"On the Run" was one of the best albums of 2012 and honestly one of the best I have ever heard. It had deep content as far as lyrics go, great music to go with the lyrics, and the three siblings did amazing with both! Every track had it's special feel, but a few of my favorites were "Why are you Afraid of the Dark?" which was an amazing song basically questioning why do we fear, when God's promised to be right beside us the whole way?, "We'll Never Say Goodbye", a simply outstanding song about staying united no matter what, and "All in Your Head", a song that to me would be epic live!
All in all "On the Run" is a great album for any rock fan, as well as those who enjoy indie music in general!

Revenge of the O.C. Supertones | Posted October-30-2012
Revenge of the O.C. Supertones was the first Supertones album I ever purchased, it was on sale at the local christian bookstore and I picked it up,thus jump starting my interest in the Supertones!
The album itself is not their best work in my opinion, but it was good album none the less! The album had some awesome bright spots including "We Shall Overcome" an anthem for any Christian, "Transmission" a song about being in tune with the Lord and "Prince of Peace" which takes a brutal look at the horrible reality of what the world's become and how we need Christ to come quickly because He's the only one who can fix it. To be honest the bright spots are a midst some songs that strike me as filler.
Although Revenge of the O.C. Supertones was not their greatest work, it's still a good release from the supertones and certainly a fun listen!

PARTY | Posted April-25-2012
As a long time die-hard Family Force 5 fan this album was just incredible, 5 tracks 2 of which we've come to love and the other 3 un-released tracks we have come to crave as downloads! First off the 2, when I first heard "Kountry Gentlemen" and "Numb" were on here I was wondering "Why?" but when I heard them I instantly saw the goodness in them. Sure we had heard them but as a lover of FF5's style I enjoyed getting to hear these two tracks in original form. Now for the other 3, it was awesome seeing "Master of Disguise" and "Color of Water" released as buyable tracks and it culminated with the first time ever release of "Gold" an awesome worship song! I highly recommend the Junk in the Trunk ep for any fan of Family Force 5!

In love with a what?! | Posted October-21-2011
What makes House of Heroes latest release awesome: It's got an awesome sound? The vocals in the song are incredible? It's probably the only time you'll ever hear a Chrsitian band profess their love for the un-dead? Whatever you decide the point remains the same, House of Heroes' "Lovesick Zombie" is a fantastic release! Since purchasing it, it has been playing non stop on my ipod and has taken over my head. I recommend it to any HOH fan and I also advise any Zombie hunter to give it a listen, because you never know what can happen.....

Children 18:3 | Posted August-19-2011
Children 18:3' debut release is an album I instantly fell in love with. I came across "All My Balloons" on a Tooth and Nail sampler and noticed a different sound in the band and after listening to the rest of the album I knew I had stumbled into an awesome band. The album also includes alot of other great songs, including "Homemade Valentine" that brilliantly captured the thoughts and feelings of the Christians on the road to emmaus and "Mock the Music" which is an anthem in keeping the music your own and not making it if it's not you. I highly recommend this album.

Horse rides again! | Posted March-17-2011
After stumbling upon Neon Horse I was impressed to say the least with their debut, but if there was anything it lacked was depth in a spiritual tone, this was corrected with the release of Haunted Horse:Songs of Love, Defiance and Delusion. Now to be honest I wasn't expecting it (maybe because of the album title) however when I heard it I was blown away, song after song had deep lyrics. "Follow the Man" and "Some Folks" are just two that when heard blow you away with sound and message. Now before I make it out to sound nothing like the original, they're songs that beckon to the debut, "Cell-O-Phone","Chaing Gang, Bang Bang" are two that bring back the fun (if right choice of word) catchyness.
I highly recommend the album, Neon Horse is a refreshing sound from the mundane that alot of times we find Christian bands goin into. It's never a dull moment when listening to Neon Horse.

Blast from the past | Posted February-26-2011
First off let me say I am not a huge fan of early 90's music, but Don't Censor Me is an exception to that. The album to me is half and half in quality as half is pretty ordinary and the other half is exceptionally done! A few of these great songs are the title track "Don't Censor Me" which blatantly raises the question of how is Jesus worse then all these other things we let slide in movies, music, and in our lives. Another is "We're a Band" one of my personal favorites that spells out who and what they are and stand for and last of the highlights is "Big House" which is arguably Audio A's most popular song.
All in all I wouldn't classify Don't Censor Me as one of the greatest albums ever, however it is a great piece of work and an interesting and fun listen for music fans and fans of Audio A.

A Good Listen | Posted December-05-2010
The new Christmas song by tobyMac "Christmas This Year" is one of the best highlights of the Christmas season! It's got a very addicting tune and the lyrics will have you singing along with it's catchyness! Along with the tune and lyrics the voices take this song out of the park! Tobymac does well with the verses and chorus and Leigh Nash does an excellent job when it comes time for her part! I highly recommend purchasing this new single whether you are a tobyMac fan or Christmas Music fan in general!

ZAPPIN is Happenin | Posted November-11-2010
ZAPPIN, the greatest hits compilation of John Reuben, is an extraordinary cd! As a long time fan of John Reuben I was very glad to see him get rewarded with a Greatest Hits album. ZAPPIN does a great job at representin each of Reuben's six full length albums, from his debut "Are we there Yet?" to his most recent "Sex, Drugs and Self-Control". The only thing that keeps it from being a five star album is the lack of John Reuben's dark cd tracks like his testimony "Identify", his truly dark look at the darkness inside our addictions in "X-Ray" or his thoughts on how we follow other humans blindly in "Follow your Leader". But even with the dark songs lacking, the listener still gets Reuben's thought provoking lyrical genius. ZAPPIN also comes with an awesome bonus in the form of providing a link to the buyer where he can download all twelve of John's excellent music videos.
I highly recommend ZAPPIN to any fan of John Reuben's, any hip hop fan, and even to those who enjoy incredible lyrics.

Blown Away! | Posted September-14-2010
Upon picking up Reuben's debut album , I already had heard his music so I had some expectations but this album Blew them away! Reuben showed unbelievable passion in this album and relayed that passion so well! During songs like "X-ray" and "Identify" the listener feels as if he is right there in the moment, thanks to John's excellent sound and incredible lyrics! Along with Reuben's seriosness comes also lighter playful songs like "Her Her,He She" and "Gather In". I highly, Highly, Highly recommend this to any person who remotely enjoys music!
