Amongst The Giants lead singer Brian Boyd
Collaborations and band member-sharing. There is a whole lot of both happening these days in Christian Rock, and a lot of it happened at the Kingdom Come Festival this month. Matt Baird showed up on stage to do It’s OK with Death Therapy; Marco Pera (of Amongst The Giants) played bass for Disciple; Chaotic Resemblance’s drummer John Jakway banged the skins in an emergency for Spoken; and any time you have multiple Rockfest Records bands present, the Rockfest fam comes together. Here is a snippet of Amongst The Giants in concert, with help from Zahna and The Persuaded: https://www.facebook.com/TheBlastFM/videos/732599020904851/
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/
Disciple put on another amazing show, as they were the headliner Saturday night at the Kingdom Come Festival near Greentown, Indiana. There was an equipment malfunction early in the show, within the first 2 or 3 songs. Undaunted, lead singer Kevin Young did his ministry talk early in the show and encouraged people to stop being “hating keyboard warriors” online. He also revealed that the whole band works out together, and that as he is filling time, he is sharing things he doesn’t normally share with the audience. He also mentioned that they haven’t played a live show in person “Since October. That was another great band,” Kevin Young said. “Yes, it was!” our own Colin Cruz blurted out loudly without hesitation (man do we miss that band…yep, we still play them). Once the gear was back in working order, Disciple blasted through songs old and new Invisible, Dear X, Dead Militia, Cuff The Criminal, Panic Room were among those…as was their recently arranged medley of old Disciple hits. Here is the video of them performing Radical (you’ll see Marco Pera of Amongst The Giants playing bass…he does that for them whenever possible): https://www.facebook.com/TheBlastFM/videos/1393926340997759/

Colin Cruz does a War Of Ages interview Wednesday at 12 Noon (USA/Canada/Mexico Central Time) on the Colin Cruz Radio Show on TheBlast.FM!
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.
The 2-man Facedown Records band American Arson has a video out for The Blast hit Unbreakable. Check it out here:
