The Letter Black in concert
As a radio station that has been playing The Letter Black on the radio since August 2, 2007 when they were called “Breaking The Silence” with the song The Stand…TheBlast.FM is very excited about the fact that they have been in the studio for the last 3 days recording the first phase of the next album, which will be on Rockfest Records. They go back to the studio for phase 2 in August 2020!
That’s Spoken lead singer and founder Matt Baird above pouring his heart out through song at the Kingdom Come Festival near Greentown, Indiana earlier this month. We have a video of them performing their current Christian rock radio hit The Way Back Home here: https://www.facebook.com/TheBlastFM/videos/2762988670602682/

In case you haven’t noticed, there is a LOT of buzz about this band, Gold Frankincense and Myrrh. The three teenage sisters from Florida put on a blistering set of GFM tunes at Kingdom Come Festival, and it was received by a very enthusiastic mid-Saturday afternoon crowd.
We have the video of them performing the song Taking Over here:

Jason Wisdom, lead singer of Death Therapy, is on the left, and Spoken’s Matt Baird is on the right.
They did it! The Blast’s Colin Cruz had been wondering on air for this for weeks: since Spoken and Death Therapy played on the same day at Kingdom Come Festival…will Matt Baird hop on stage to do It’s OK with Death Therapy? We asked both bands online. Normally, they answer our questions. But not this one. And…surprise! It happened!
You can hear Colin Cruz say “Where’s Matt?!” early in the song and “There’s Matt!!!” later in the song when he shows up.
We have the video for the song here: https://www.facebook.com/TheBlastFM/videos/202328547886148/
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.
Leas singer Kevin Young and drummer Joey West from Disciple talk to Colin Cruz on his radio show this week, Tuesday through Thursday on TheBlast.FM. The Colin Cruz radio show runs from Noon to 3 pm USA/Canadian Central Time.
The world’s first-ever beautycore band really does have a lighter side, which they will display in a free acoustic concert live on TheBlast.FM Facebook page on Saturday May 2nd from 8 to 9 pm USA/Canadian Central Time. They’ll play some songs and answer your questions.
