Indiana home boys The Protest did not disappoint at Kingdom Come Fest 2021. And of course, the audience loved every minute of it. Here is a video of them performing what may well be the #1 Christian rock radio song of the year 2021, Greater: https://rumble.com/vjdhkt-the-protest-performs-their-smash-1-hit-greater-at-kcf-2021.html

If you missed the interview The Blast’s Colin Cruz did with industrial artist David Pataconi, we have archived it on our new MeWe page for TheBlast.FM: https://mewe.com/p/theblast.fm
And we have a video of him performing his hit song To Follow Our Own, here: https://fb.watch/6rfyNlvwVa/
Behold The Beloved rocked the main stage Saturday afternoon at this year’s Kingdom Come Festival. And no, Disciple’s Kevin Young did not venture out early in the day of their set to join in the collaboration they recorded. That would have been too much strain on Young’s voice, with all the screaming, yelling, singing and preaching Kevin does during Disciple’s 14-song sets. But it was a good BTB show, nonetheless.
Here is a video of the first song of the set:

At Kingdom Come Festival 2021 in Indiana, Gold Frankincense and Myrrh played at the indoor Capstone Music Stage. They brought their awesome teenage energy, charisma, showmanship, beautycore and pyrotechnic smoke.
One nearby headbanging teenage girl with long hair headbanged so hard and flung her hair back so violently, it ended up right in our grill, in the camera shot.
Fortunately, no humans or hair follicles were injured in the shooting of this video:

Red and their new drummer Brian Medeiros played a sold out show in Dallas last night…their first concert since the pandemic. Here is the band posing with the fans at the show.
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 be headlining Friday night September 10th at the Rocktember Fest in Hinckley, Minnesota. Immediately preceding Skillet will be Stryper. The rest of the bands at the fest are secular hard rock.
The timing is a bit ironic. Cooper had recently been spotted in public by a casual music fan who said (paraphrasing) “You look familiar…aren’t you in that band…that Christian rock band…Stryper?”
Well, in case you have any trouble telling the bands apart (LOL) here is your chance to clearly differentiate between the two.
We’re not 100 percent sure, but at press time, we believe this is the first time these two bands have shared the same stage on the same night.
Disciple’s second online concert, which celebrates the 10th Anniversary of the Horseshoes And Hand Grenades album, is live in a little less than an hour. You can snag tickets here:
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 & Hand Grenades…also had some digital add-on songs that didn’t make the main record.
It was called Horseshoes & Hand Grenades B-Sides. And it had some fabulous songs on it that we have Blasted over the years: namely The Fury, Comedy Tragedy, Disasterpiece, and Watch It Burn.
And the answer is? No.
Young reminds us that they are playing the entire (main) Horseshoes & Hand Grenades album from front to back, plus playing two new songs, including The Blast hit Darkness Dies.
Those two songs plus the 12 on Horseshoes & Hand Grenades makes 14, and Young says he can only handle 14 songs a night.
Fair enough. It was worth asking. Inquiring minds wanted to know.
Love And Death is joining the online concert fray, with a show of their own on Friday February 12th!
It’s been a long time, and Love And Death fans are eager to finally see the band in concert again.
The Blast was the first Christian Rock Radio station to jump on to the new song Down, on November 14, 2020.
