| Rolling Stone, Napster and VH1 add to the buzz |
Switchfoot in Rolling Stone's studio: pictures. Is it just me or anyone else wants to see that beard back on Jon's face? Not that it really matters. Anyway.
"Dare You To Move" wins a Napster Digital Music Award. I didn't know the song was "Christian" (or that songs could be saved), but thats good news anyway.
"Oh! Gravity." on VH1's "December Must-Hear Albums" list, with the following description:
The sound: Righteous arena rock.
What to expect: The San Diego group hooked up with legendary producer Steve Lilywhite (U2) for their sixth album (he executive produced it), which has a harder rock edge and more political/social commentary than their previous efforts. Among the tracks are "American Dream," "Awakening," and "Dirty Second Hands."
We predict: Lots of singing praise and heck to raise!
Sorry VH1, but your predictions are a bit off. Righteous? This band is wicked. (Heh, I'm so good at being lame.) And I think they meant "hell to raise" but seems like some kind of PG-13izing bot changed it to "heck". Lame. But yes, Oh! Gravity. will raise hell, albeit without singing praise.
In other news, NIS continues its comeback trail. On the heels of its re-entry at #91 on Billboard 200, CCM Magazine's current top-selling charts feature Nothing is Sound at #9 under "Top Christian/Gospel Albums", and #1 in the "Top Rock/Alternative Albums" chart. This, more than 15 months after its release. Its about time this album got the attention it deserves. A full-page ad for "Oh! Gravity." on the magazine's back cover is also thrown in. Picture scans here.Labels: news, pictures. |

Oh Rose, haven't you heard? Lilywhite is soooo hot right now.

Oh and it's not arena rock, it's small sweaty club rock.
