Artist Of The Week - Anchor & Braille

It's been about three years since we've gotten an album from Anchor & Braille, the indie side project of Anberlin's Stephen Christian, but this week, on July 31st, the band's sophomore album will be released. The Quiet Life is a collection of haunting melodies and catchy percussion, certainly a maturation of sound since 2009's Felt. The Quiet Life is available now in stores and online through Tooth & Nail Records.

Strike First is happy to welcome a new band to the family.  Ark of the Covenant play hard hitting, undiluted hardcore, and will be releasing their debut EP with Strike First this spring.

Connecticut seems to be a breeding ground for enduring hardcore bands, and Strike First's newest band Ark of the Covenant has come out swinging with that infamous CT brand of intensity and drive. Musically the band's influences span the heavy genres, but the NY and Boston hardcore scenes have the greatest impact on the band's writing as evidenced by Ark's signature breakdown barrage and two-step beats.

Ark of the Covenant's debut EP Separation was recorded at Silver Bullet Studio (Shai Hulud, Wrench in the Works) and will be released on Strike First Records May 10, 2011. Pre order your copy now! http://facedown.merchnow.com/products/preorders

I discovered Hyland two years ago, after their then current radio single, "Til Death," caught my attention, while at many Christian rock stations.. A band who can actually do pop rock well, the Minnesota natives blend some rock fueled songs ("Fireworks," "Til Death"), with slower, acoustic elements as well ("This Love Is Free," "Coast To Coast"), for a solid debut album. Weights & Measures will be out May 3rd on the band's new home, Tooth & Nail Records, and will be an album worth giving a listen, from a promising up and coming band.

GREAT AWAKENING RELEASES "SONGS IN SECRET" ON APRIL 26TH

Great Awakening will release their sophomore full-length album, Songs in Secret, on Tuesday, April 26th. The record will be available as a free download on the Come&Live! Web site (www.comeandlive.com).
The four brothers in Christ continue to operate with the same humility, honesty and depth that brought them together. Their latest endeavor is this sophomore album, a record housing 10 tracks. Songs in Secret exists to cultivate face-to-face conversations with the Lord in a secluded and highly intimate environment. Great Awakening wrote each lyric from their hearts as they put to music the words they speak in secret.

“We’re figuring out who we are as worshippers made uniquely in the image of God,” says Cole Johnson. “We’re just singing love songs to Jesus in the way that we actually talk to Him. We hope this leads people into a deeper love with Him.”

The intensely poignant lyrics on Songs in Secret create the picture of a child baring his soul to his father. It’s worship music that dares to go beyond the surface. In fact, it ventures deep to a place where time flies by and tears flow freely. Everything is stripped away. Passion and sincerity emanate from each and every carefully placed word and note. Great Awakening writes in hopes to inspire others to delve into their own secret place.

ABOUT GREAT AWAKENING:
Great Awakening is a four-piece band from Burlington, NC. The band formed when the friends started leading worship together for their church’s youth group. From there, they started writing their own songs, a string of unexpected string of events led them to sign with Come&Live! and they released Cities in 2009. Great Awakening is Zach Janicello (guitar/vocals), Cole Johnson (guitar/vocals), Ben Woods (bass) and Tanner Johnson (drums).

ABOUT COME&LIVE!:
Come&Live! is a 501(c)3 non-profit community dedicated to proclaiming the good news of Jesus.
