For Today - EkklesiaFacedown Records
Releasing on April 1, this is one pick that even surprised me! Normally I'm not a huge hardcore/punk fan, but the music on Ekklesia makes it stand out above the rest. Add to that the fact that these guys are out there, touring their behinds off to spread the Word, and you just can't fail to mention their upcoming release.
