May brings some great new music, including new projects from Decyfer Down, Jonny Diaz, The Newsboys and many more!
It's been a LONG wait for Decyfer Down fans since their June 2006 debut. In that time, the band has faced line-up changes and a horrific accident with their tour van and trailer that could easily have ended in disaster. New frontman T.J. Harris (formerly of Fighting Instinct) is a great fit for the band. Their new album, "Crash" is on sale at Arrowhead for $12.99.
You probably don't know Jonny Diaz by name (yet), but this young artist is swinging for the fence! His single, More Beautiful You, which is climbing the charts at Christian radio, is delightfully indicitive of his major label debut by the same name. With a catchy groove that will inevitably draw Jason Mraz comparisons, Jonny pens appealing and intelligent pop tunes with a decidedly Christian angle. He released three indie albums, two while he was still in college. He was the fourth Diaz boy headed to college on a baseball scholarship (big brother Matt is currently "out in left field" for the Atlanta Braves!), but God was preparing to blaze a very different path for Jonny. You should check his music out for yourself!
The Newsboys are back at it again with their newest album, "In The Hands of God". This is their final album with frontman Peter Furler (Michael Tait of DC Talk fame will be be taking up those duties) and their first without Phil Joel, so there's a definite "end of an era" vibe to this project. Furler's going out in celebratory style, however, and while the album is bookended by contemplative content, there's plenty of Aussie-trademark high-energy worship and such in between. Great stuff for the Newsboys fans out there!
Also releasing on May 5th: a $7.99 full-length debut from EMI's Chris & Conrad, a $5 6-song offering from the underrated but highly artistic Future of Forestry, a new Hard Music project from The Chariot and the 7th entry in the Janette Oke DVD series, Love Takes Wing (arriving just in time for Mother's Day!)
