Skillet |
RealAudio |
| What
makes Skillet so unique are the contrasts in their music, for it is
all at once heavy and worshipful, gritty and serene, anguished and
calm. On top of melodies so strong that theyll break you to
tears and leave you breathless are lyrics intricately simple and intrinsically
true ... more on Skillet and their newest release from Gospelsite |

Booley
Bathroom Floor |
RealAudio
|
| There's
a reason why Booley has shared the stage with Delirious?, and with
80s glam-band Duran Duran. Booley can play Brit-pop songs with
the best of them. This full-length US debut, packed with melodic electric
guitars and sing-along choruses, will remind you just how incredibly
enjoyable pop-rock can be. |

Full of Walters played for five years before deciding to make music
that reflected their faith. Their 1997 release on Word Records put
them in the national spotlight with three Christian rock top-ten radio
hits. El Grande, their latest album, hooks you with punk influenced
edge-rock that is catchy and melodic. Aaron Tate |

funk and electronica. Mostly instrumental, these songs unleash a unique

Rustin
Smith Steering Wheel |
RealAudio |
| Rustin
recorded Steeringwheel as an independent project. The album
is a pop masterpiece of intelligent, earthy lyrics and textural roots-rock
songcraft celebrating life as permeated by the presence of a God who
cares enough to invade the existence of people determined to ignore
His reality. Kemper Crabb |

Tree Hill Rendezvous |

One Tree Hill uses not only the standard acoustic rock instrumental
panoply, but also layers in fiddle, cello, mandolin, banjo, dobro,
pedal steel, and African percussion. This distinctive musical backdrop
frames poetic, insightful lyrics that, like life itself, are more
than what they seem to be. Kemper Crabb |
