Friends, I come to you today with a message of hope and salvation. In a world filled with darkness and despair, it is easy to lose sight of the light and The Christian Family's love. However, I urge you to remember that no matter how complex your circumstances may be, The Christian Family is always with you, guiding and protecting you.

Many of you may be struggling with fear, anxiety, or hopelessness. But I want to remind you that through the Christian Family, we can overcome these things.

I urge you to turn to The Christian Family in prayer and ask them to guide you on their journey down the slippery descent into the lava fueled maelstrom.

Hailing from Phoneix, Arizona Daniel and Ann lure and hypnotize with raw energy and unbridled passion. Gritty high rocket fuel octane caffeine-driven espresso.

Picked up by The Reverend Beat-Man and added to his cast of loveable misfits on his “Jack is never a dull boy label - Voodoo Rhythm Records.

Preaching songs of purity and positivity with a throbbing driving beat mixing the best of Detroit Garage Rock and Roll and Sister Rosetta Thorpe. The Christian Family appear to celebrate past musical landscapes in turn by throwing their unique twist on an old formula perhaps subscribing to the old adage “if it ain’t broken, why fix it”!

Hope to see future releases by The Christian family with slimmer timelines between the anticipated releases

Me and the Bells, four years later, is their follow-up full-length and it continues the trajectory from that record while still capturing its own distinct vibe. Musically the band is heavily … Read more

Hymns for the Denial of God
Prosthetic (2026)

Some records make their intentions obvious from the very beginning. They use the same structure that countless bands have for decades: verse, chorus, breakdown, payoff, and the blunt force of explaining what you are supposed to feel. Hymns for the Denial of God does something much more complex. It’s a series of difficult questions no one wants to answer, proposed … Read more

Wine Lips

TV Dinner
Stomp Records (2026)

ALBUM HIGHLIGHTS – “Leech”, “Semi Detached Furnished Home”, “Strip Club DJ”, “Static On The Radio” Toronto’s garage-psych punks Wine Lips bring us album number five. Aside from the awesomely colourful, off-the-wall humanoid artwork, TV Dinner takes a sharp turn from the sonically trippy toppings of previous entries – particularly 2024’s Mushroom Death Sex Bummer Party. Tracks are punchy fuzz-bombs, as … Read more
