Corey Durkin “New England. Pt. 1- EP” Review

Corey Durkin has become one of my favorite independent artists. His new release “New England. Pt. 1- EP” exceeds my expectations and does not disappoint. With its catchy hooks and soulful sound which reminds me of James Taylor, it’s a can’t miss release in 2019. 

“Dreaming of Paris” is the first song I listened to. It starts with a beautiful piano introduction that builds into a ballad about…

Weeping Hour’s Captivating Music

Weeping Hour’s Captivating Music

Weeping Hour is a band that I found and was blown away. One thing that sold me was when Pastor Rob reviewed their song “Outlier.” That song has provided me with hope, conviction, and inspiration. I had to interview this band. I had the pleasure of interviewing Ethan, their vocalist.

Rob:Who is Weeping Hour?

Ethan: Interestingly, Chris Shifflett (Drums) and Corey McKnight (Guitar) were founding…

Kings Kaleidoscope "A Little Bit of Faith" Single Review

Kings Kaleidoscope “A Little Bit of Faith” Single Review

“Oh it’s going to be okay with a little bit of faith” lyrics are a constant reminder to me that all I need is a small amount of faith to conqueror life’s trials. I can’t do anything without God’s grace. This song serves as a simple, yet convicting reminder that I need to be more patient and let go of control. This song can be summed up in one word: freedom. It’s a care free, energetic anthem that

How many of us wait years for a record and when it’s delivered your expectations are exceeded?

Kings Kaleidoscope Brings “The Rush”

Kings Kaleidoscope Brings “The Rush”

  How many bands do you listen to that never put out a bad song? Kings Kaleidoscope is on that very short list for me. Their new single “The Rush” is no different, which is in three different parts.

“Breathing Infinity” starts off with a catchy, adrenaline filled introduction then builds upon itself. My head started moving and I wanted to dance. The lyrics, “Give me rainbow faith,” are unique.…

JOY - No Light Below - Album Review

JOY – No Light Below – Album Review

After a year of waiting, JOY‘s newest release “No Light Below” is finally here. My initial thoughts were “Holy heck, this album is really good.” Andrew seems to have really grown as a vocalist from their last album. “Of Nothing” was great but Andrew’s vocals feel much stronger and his lows feel much heavier. Usually for me, the heaviest isn’t heavy enough but he really knocked it out of the park…
