Kids in the Way - 'A Love Hate Masquerade'
In the two years since Kids In The Way released their last studio album they've gone through some changes. A new bass player, a new sound and better writing. This is one of those albums that will get your attention and hold it ... for a good long while. So if you're looking for a new band to listen to and KITW wasn't your cup of tea before, give them another listen. There is a lot to like!

Joe Henschel - 'Capture Me'
Joe Henschel's debut CD, Capture Me, is worship music with an acoustic ballad flare that works well but doesn't have any particular stand out style that makes separates him from the rather large pack of contemporary worship leaders saturating the airwaves today.

'My Coming Day' - Julian Drive
Julian Drive - My Coming Day - Christian CD Review of Julian Drive's My Coming Day

Article One - 'Colors and Sound'
Article One may not have made a huge splash when they debuted but they're making up for that now. It's as if they've found their groove and they're definitely making it their own. This band has a bright future ahead of them as they continue to grow and evolve.

Clint Brown - 'Fall Like Rain'
Pastor Clint Brown has released his 16th full length album with little fan-fare, but with a great deal of praise.

Group 1 Crew - 'Ordinary Dreamers'
Group 1 Crew takes the sound that won them the Dove Rap/Hip Hop Album of the Year earlier this year and makes it bigger and better on 'Ordinary Dreamers,' while still keeping it roughly the same. Fans will love this release and new listeners will catch up pretty quickly.

Audio Adrenaline - 'Adios, The Greatest Hits'
I really didn't realize how much Audio Adrenaline's music meant to me until I sat down to listen to their farewell. It's amazing what memories a song you haven't heard in years can bring back. So thank you AudioA ... for the memories, for the moments and for all of the times that your music helped me make it through.

Adam Cunningham - 'Adam Cunningham'
The fresh new face belonging to Adam Cunningham is one you'll come to know and love. The more you listen to his debut release, the more you'll come to love his music as well.

Jeff Deyo - 'Unveil'
Jeff Deyo shows us much of the same Jeff we've come to know and love in Unveil, but he also hints at an older, deeper, wiser Jeff.

Jaime Jamgochian - 'Reason To Live'
Jaime Jamgochian - don't worry about how to pronounce her name - just be sure you remember it because this is one talented lady that you're going to be hearing an awful lot of in the very near future.

Will Derryberry - 'Target of Your Favor'
"Target of Your Favor" is definitely more rock than blues, but I was not disappointed for a moment and I can't imagine any listener would be.

Jonas Brothers – 'It's About Time'
Nicholas Jonas still has an incredible voice that has plenty of room to grow, but in many areas of the album, it clashes with his brothers. When you add that to lyrics that are shallow and music that can't decide if it wants to be bubblegum pop or pop/punk, you don't get much that will appeal to anyone beyond the pre-tween crowd - no matter how "hot" the 6th graders think Nick is.

Jars of Clay - 'Redemption Songs'
Reviewer Kevan Breitinger says, "Jars of Clay has succeeded wonderfully in their desire to bridge the relevance gap between the church of yesterday and today."

Inhabited - 'The Revolution'
Inhabited is headed up by brother/sister duo Marcus and Sara Acker, making music out of their passion for young people. I can't think of a better reason, and their hearts for ministry come across strong in every tune.

Hyper Static Union - 'Lifegiver'
Hyper Static Union went old-school with "Lifegiver" - yet they added so many "now" elements ... successfully combining pop, rock and funk to make some incredible worship music for a new day and a new generation. Much like track 6, I just "Can’t Leave It Alone!"

Hawk Nelson - 'Letters To The President: Deluxe Edition'
The Deluxe Edition adds six new tracks and three videos that you can view on your computer.

Kurt Carr Project – 'One Church'
Reviewer Kevan Breitinger says, Kurt Carr and his seven-voice ensemble are exuberance personified. I loved this CD beginning to end.

Forever Changed - 'The Need to Feel Alive'
The Need to Feel Alive is packed with musical excellence, variety and great vocals.

Flyleaf - 'Flyleaf'
The new young female fronted act from Texas has a lot going for them. Lacey Mosley has a powerful voice and the emotion that comes through is impossible to ignore, especially when it's combined with lyrics that are real life, instead of reality TV.

Fighting Instinct - 'Fighting Instinct'
Fighting Instinct, Gotee Record's new 3-piece band out of North Carolina, brings some seriously strong rock tracks to the table with their self-titled debut.

FFH - 'Still the Cross'
Still the Cross is a great CD by a great group. Heartfelt and powerful stuff on this release.

Excelsius – 'The Final Evolution'
Reviewer Kevan Breitinger says, "Excelsius doesn’t back off of the truth, whether it’s about what is and isn’t holiness, spiritual warfare or growing up without a father."

Eric Heatherly - 'The Lower East Side of Life'
Reviewer Kevan Breitinger says, "I’m tellin’ you, you don’t have to like country to like Heatherly. He’s got attitude to spare and some of these truth-packed tunes really rock."

Eleventyseven - 'And The Land Of Fake Believe'
Eleventyseven's music is catchy and just plain fun. The energy is as obvious as the fact that these guys have something to say to the younger generation. The fun doesn't get in the way of the message.

DecembeRadio - Debut CD - 'DecembeRadio'
DecembeRadio has successfully mixed classic rock, old school metal, southern rock, blues and a tinge of pop to become "The Band" of 2006. Their debut lacks nothing and offers a little something for everyone. This band will be rockin' the radio waves all year round!
