Yee-Haw!<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a fan of Mike Stand and The Altar Boys, you will absolutely want to get this new album of Altar Boys tunes done rockabilly punk style. You\u2019ll recognize drummer Chuck Cummings from Dakoda Motor Co. and a bunch of other Christian projects from the 1990\u2032s as well. I could not be happier that there is a lone voice of morality in the rockabilly punk scene; in fact, they are the only current rockabilly punk group that I will even listen to for that very reason. Check out their ReverbNation page at http:\/\/www.reverbnation.com\/altarbillies<\/a><\/strong> for a preview; you won\u2019t be disappointed!<\/p>\n

So Many Bands, So Little Time<\/strong><\/p>\n

Out of curiosity (and unless I completely missed it) will there ever be an article on Michael Been\/The Call?<\/p>\n

(cool timing on this, as I was just listening to the first vinyl by The Call yesterday.\u00a0 You haven\u2019t missed it \u2013 but now that you asked\u2026 that is a great idea.\u00a0 Anybody out there want to take part in this?\u00a0 We could use some help pulling together resources on this one.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Crazy Is As Crazy Does<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Undercover gets the blame for single handedly stopping all those great traditional concerts at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa every Saturday since 1968. Thousands upon thousands have given their lives to Jesus at these anointed Concerts. One day in the mid 80s Chuck Smith showed up one Saturday night and there was The Undercover Band with their shirts off and jumping around like idiots! U call that ground breaking? Hitler was ground breaking too! Just another \u201cin the flesh, look at me\u201d band that never gave God any Glory, and why are you booking these guys?<\/p>\n
