Kingdom Come Festival is quickly approaching. It happens in northeast Indiana near the town of Greentown (in the Kokomo area).
Here is the address: 8313 E 400 S, Greentown, Indiana 46936
Skillet has “reimagined” their song Save Me. It’s an EDM remix, right?! Nope. It’s pop. In fact, this could make it on to Christian Adult Contemporary radio, even. Have a listen here:
Random Hero opens up the Tension #1 plaques
Random Hero’s song Tension, which enjoyed a long run in current rotation on both The Blast and The Blast Blender, enjoyed an 8-week run at number one on the Christian Music Weekly Christian Rock Radio chart (a USA radio airplay chart).
Kingdom Come Festival is STILL on for Friday and Saturday July 10th and 11th. Random Hero cannot be at the new date, but Amongst The Giants has been added to the bill in their place!
The Kingdom Come Festival happens near Kokomo,, Indiana. Blast bands include: Disciple, Spoken, The Protest, Set For The Fall, Seventh Day Slumber, Death Therapy, Gold Frankincense and Myrrh, Amongst The Giants, Zahna, Chaotic Resemblance, Danger Scene, Poetic Descent.
Nine Lashes is back with a vengeance! They have a new song Now Blasting called Guilty Hands.
With Guilty Hands, Nine Lashes wanted to go back to its core: in sound and in message.
With heavy tones, soaring melodies, and purposeful lyrics, they’re coming out of hiding with a bang.
Guilty Hands is a plea. Stop bearing the weight of your guilt. Stop running. Stop fighting. Come home.
The song is based on Luke 15:20-24, which is the happy ending of the prodigal son story.
It’s been 18 months since we’ve had new music to Blast from former Flyleaf lead singer Lacey Sturm. And she comes out screamin’ on The Decree like she did on I’m So Sick. Sturm co-wrote The Decree with Korey Cooper of Skillet. Speaking of Skillet, we just added a new tune from them, too: Never Going Back. We were far ahead of the curve in adding their current hit Save Me, as their record companies let almost half a year slip by before releasing a second Christian Rock radio single (that one) just a few weeks ago. Both of these new songs will air during the Colin Cruz Radio Show, which is on weekdays from Noon-3 pm USA/Canada/Mexico Central Time.
Yes! Colin Cruz has been talking about this on his show…we need bands to do online concerts during this time of lockdown…and Disciple is doing one during this pause of the Love Letter Kill Shot Tour…they are doing an online, live Love Letter Lockdown Concert! That is a perfect name, and very clever! You can get a basic ticket to view the show for $20 plus minimal fees. This electric, full production concert happens on Saturday May 9th from 6 to 9 pm Eastern Time. They are also doing an acoustic online show tonight, Friday May 8th. Buying online concert tickets and band merchandise is a great way to support your favorite bands while they can’t tour. For more details, go to:

Capstone is a Covid-casualty. Yes, unfortunately, the Capstone Music Festival has been cancelled for 2020 due to Covid-19 shutdowns in Indiana lasting into next month. The festival would have featured Amongst The Giants, Chaotic Resemblance, Gold Frankincense and Myrrh, Ignescent, Leper, Rusty Shipp and XL & DBD.
The festival also would have featured a number of bands played on The Implosion and The Blastozoic Era. Organizers say they will put together a new festival next year.
