Welch was addicted to alcohol and/or drugs from the ages of 15 to 33 but […]
Two huge bands that begin with “S” from two different eras will share the same stage soon: Skillet…which began in the mid to late 1990’s and has never stopped rockin’… And a resurgent 80’s band that lead singer John Cooper grew up listening to as part of his Christian metal album collection: Stryper. Skillet will […]
Skillet fans: if you haven’t read this yet, you should. I love Skillet lead singer John L Cooper’s heart. In his debut book (self-published) he talks about his earliest memories of belief in Christ. He also talks about how some secular rock industry types were telling him he needed to drop the Jesus talk if […]
Brian “Head” Welch, lead singer of Christian Rock band Love & Death (and guitarist of Korn) spoke at the Sioux Falls Prayer Breakfast today. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem was in attendance and she offered a prayer for government leaders. Welch started his talk with some lighthearted banter and jokes and he talked about Noem’s […]

It’s brand new, it’s small, simple, functional, and beautiful. And it sounds fantastic. It is made by Arrakis, which is a pillar in the broadcast industry. The Colin Cruz radio […]

The Dove Awards don’t do justice to the world of Christian ROCK (and have not for many years, as they have merged Contemporary and Rock into one category called, cleverly, Rock/Contemporary…as if those those should even be in the same category), so last year, the Grizzly Awards came to the rescue. Last night, the second […]

It’s pure greed on our part at TheBlast.FM. Our own Colin Cruz just asked Disciple lead singer Kevin Young if the band will be playing any of the B-Sides songs at their online concert on Saturday January 23rd. The B-Sides, you ask? Yeah. Remember? That Disciple album that came out 10 years ago called Horseshoes […]
