I’ve always had a fairly active interest in music. I remember singing along to my parents CCM music as a toddler, having a great time. DC Talk was my first favorite band–I thought Jesus Freak was the single greatest thing to ever happen to music. At an early age I argued with my parents to let me buy a walkman, but no. Thanks to this inhibition I didn’t actually become obsessed until I was about fourteen, when I started buying CDs right and left.
I stayed within the bounds of Christian rock for the most part, but over time I began to grow bored with CCM’s “edgy” acts such as Thousand Foot Krutch and Tobymac. (Yeah, I know, you’re laughing.) I delved into the realm of hard music, beginning on the softer side with Blindside and progressing to Underoath and Norma Jean. Rocking out was one of my favorite things to do (and still is). I bought an electric guitar (a Viper LTD) and started to make my own headbanger music.
Well, somewhere along the way I got into Indie rock… and never looked back. Bands like Copeland and Further Seems Forever found their way into my collection, and I knew I’d found my niché. Since then my music tastes have flourished and are as varied as the difference between Frank Sinatra and Sigur Ros.
The site is still under construction, but we hope to be fully in swing soon.we’re going to do a little of everything, but it’s all (mostly) going to be about music: album reviews, concert reviews, tour updates, and possibly interviews in the future. We are three music lovers with different yet similar views of quality music, and hopefully through our writing something good will find its way into your earphones, too.
Here’s to beginnings!
haha

[...] the nastiness for the cool, lusciousness that bands like Copeland and Mae offered. (I detailed this here back when we founded this blog.) My taste for headbanging diminished, you might say. From Copeland [...]
