This song is not the single that’s on the radio. However, this is the song that should be the single on the radio. Hopefully I don’t make anyone mad for playing this song, but here’s the deal. Today’s a big day for these guys. Their new record came out today and I think you should go buy it. Here’s why.
I was sent this record a few weeks back. Now, I’m not going to lie, it took me a few days to start listening to it and Kristin was really the one that was excited about it first. It’s not that I didn’t want to listen, I just didn’t find the time. That was at the beginning of April. Here it is, nearing the end of May and this record is still in my car in regular rotation. My kids know every word to every song, and no matter how many times I hear it, it remains a solid record in my mind. In fact, I will go as far to say that this is one of the most solid records I have heard in Christian music in a very long time. Now when I say solid here’s what I mean. I mean that the first song is the current single, number three is the song that hopefully you have playing right now, number seven blows me away every time I hear it, all the way to number ten being a song I would listen to over and over. That’s what I mean by a solid record. I don’t feel like there are any songs on the record that are there just to take up space.
I had a chance to talk to these guys a little during GMA week, and they seem like pretty down to earth guys. I mean as much as you can tell guys are down to earth, by talking to them in five minute increments several times. So anyway, here’s the deal. This record came out today, and I have been waiting like six weeks to blog about the song that should just be about ending if you are listening through. Anyway, check them out, and make sure to go get the record. Like I said, if there is a complete record to buy in Christian music right now, this is it. Take my word for it. Have I steered you wrong yet?
Dude, this record is SO good. I hope they get tons of exposure. Stellar stuff…”Times” is amazing, too.
Hey brody! wow. where are you right now? because it says you posted this at 8:02… and where I am it is only 7:49… lol. So you were at solid rock when phil recorded his live album… right? cuz I was one that that was on the chatting thing at like 6:00…. oh yea! and i asked you if there were any chairs set up. (You might remember me: solidrock601….???
Yea this on the top of my list to buy. Would have bought today I hadn’t bought two already on Amazon MP3. Dang that music budget!
you are, in deed, correct my friend. everyone needs this album in order to have a better life.
Brody – This is indeed excellent!! Right now the whole album is streaming at http://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/features/listeningparty.asp
Its kinda funny that you should post this, cuz just yesterday i was like “hmm..i should go listen to that “Love is here” song, because its so good.” so i head on over to their myspace page, listen to that song, but then i start to listen to their other songs on there and i was kinda nervous so to say, at first because a lot of artists have like, a really good single, but then their other songs aren’t quite as good, but dude! totally not the thing with these guys! I think their other songs are SO stinkin amazing!! even…better than their single “Love is here”…but don’t get me wrong that song is awesomeness.
But yes…I am totally going on a hunt today to find their cd in some store…hopefully target or walmart will have it.
Totally love Tenth Avenue North! now…they just need to come to minnesota! dangit! haha!
remember when we talked about how alot of sounds the same? this kills it. i love this band.
