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

That's still the version of onelinedrawing that immediately comes to mind for me, so with Matranga having been relatively … Read more

Professor and the Madman

Dreamworld
FullerTone Records (2026)

ALBUM HIGHLIGHTS – “Brand New World”, “12 Strings and Tambourines”, “Adams Street”, “Temple of Madness” It’s rare to find these days. A band (or maybe supergroup, in this case) that defies all genre boundaries and just…creates. Alfie Agnew (Adolescents, D.I.) and Sean Elliott (D.I., Mind Over Four) are familiar names from Orange County’s early 80s hardcore and psych-punk scenes, but … Read more

Chat Pile

Who Loves The Sun
Flenser (2026)

If Chat Pile were a film, they would be a dark thriller. The kind that builds tension until the end and, once we reach the third act, still might not ever show the killer. It's plodding and intense and, while I just pulled out a genre reference, the best thing about the band is how much they defy conventional musical … Read more
