Couple of interesting articles snitched from the good folks over at rockrebel; the first dealing with Christian rap and the second concerning the uber-talented Jars of Clay.

Condolences to the family and friend(and band) of Boston vocalist Brad Delp, who passed away over the weekend at the age of 55 of an apparent heart attack. Boston remain untouched in terms of classical skill, largely due to brainiac guitarist Tom Scholz.

I like Hopesfall.

Despised Icon are putting out their new album May 22nd; there's no title yet for the CD, but it'll kick all kinds of ass. The band have a video on the new Hot Topic Foundation/Sub City joint effort Metal = Life CD/DVD set, so go pick that up for $10.99 at HMV locations across Canada while the price is dirt-cheap.

It would appear that Sparta have left the major-label vistas to head back to the minor-leagues; Anti- Records will re-release the band's latest album Threes with a new song called 'Born and Buried', to be released May 1st. [aversion]
