Update 6/30

Tooth & Nail is my favorite record label. Solid State has some of the most amazing Christian metal bands out there. They are both affiliated, and they have released a free sampler that you can download here. I'm REALLY EXCITED about this, because it has some seriously amazing music that I don't own yet. (And I know some of you don't own the never-before-released Showbread song that's from their new album, The Fear of God, and "Anchors [Acoustic]" by Secret & Whisper featured only on their Japanese release. Yeah. They're both on this sampler.) But other than those, there is:

"'84 Sheepdog" by As Cities Burn, "All My Balloons" by Children 18:3, FM Static "Boy Moves to a New Town With Optimistic Outlook," Emery "Cutthroat Collapse," Ivoryline "Days End," August Burns Red "Thirty and Seven," Copeland "The Grey Man." There is a song by Hawk Nelson, The Showdown, And Then There Were None, Family Force 5, Jonezetta, and Underoath. There are a few that I was too lazy to name, but they're good.

If I were you I'd get over there and download that sampler.

In other news, Mutemath has this amazing new song you can listen to on their Purevolume called "The Nerve." Also, they're going to be having a mobile listening party that could come to your city. For details on that and a very cool preorder, click here.

Also, (and I don't know why I haven't posted this earlier) Project 86 has made their next album, Picket Fence Cartel, available for preorder. Check it out on their Myspace.

So that's it for now, check back soon. Tell your friends!
