The Lonely Revolts release Remnant is one of the best releases by Thumper Punk records so far. Labeled as working man’s punk rock, this is high energy, graveled throat vocals, pounding drums, booming bass lines and riffs a plenty! When I first popped it in I immediately thought Spike Nard from Crashdog had formed another…
We did a full on interview with Adam Pederson quite a while back, but for your listening pleasure he has returned with the single “The Line” from the forthcoming album Human. This is really good music. It reminds me of the ‘dreamier’ aspects of Pink Floyd – definitely not the same genre, but with headphones…
This fan-funded release from Ronnie Martin is the latest installment from the Joy Electric front man. What a great addition to a pretty remarkable body of work that has spanned almost 20 years and seen a full length DVD release as well as 27 full studio albums. That is a huge collection of work. The…
180OUT is a newer release from the Thumper Punk label, one of their lighter bands on the label. This is more pop music with the occasional surf lick thrown in for good measure. It’s catchy music and its fun, but it more on the side of CCM-ish type tunes (if that’s what you’re into). I’m…
This first compilation is what the ‘Christian punk scene’ has needed for quite a while…actually, we’ve needed this since the beginning! What I love about the Thumper Punk label is that they represent all the different facets of the punk rock sound. There are all the tired arguments of what is and isn’t punk; fortunately…
I was surprised and excited that The Choir were already putting out a new full length – it seemed like Burning Like the Midnight Sun and de-plumed had just come out recently. I was pleasantly surprised to get a new album so soon! The unique thing that really struck me about this new release is…
Thumper Punk Records was new to me, but this is the kind of stuff I love! Nothing screams indie and underground to me more than loud, amped up, white hot sounding punk rock. I miss hearing new bands that really sound like punk rock (not pop punk, but punk rock) steeped in socially and spiritually…
It is hard to find anything to say about Sticks and Stones that hasn’t already been said a time or two in the last 22 years. On a personal note, this was my introduction to the 77’s as a band. It wasn’t until years later that I checked out their albums prior to this one,…
I never expect to go long between Bill Mallonee’s releases, and I am grateful for that. Bill’s writing has long been a source of comfort and inspiration to me. His music is always relevant and fresh, lyrically he is the best in the game and he is one of the most prolific storytellers around. I…
The thing that is so amazing about music is that it transcends religion, sex, race, color and language. It is universal in its appeal because of the sounds that are created, not just because of words that are spoken or sung. There are some bands that sing in a language other than English that I…
