      Great picks for your favorite album covers! I almost grabbed my Rage Of Angels album to include in my honorable mentions. "The Gift Wrap" theme was harder to choose from than I initially realized, and I forgot a couple picks from my collection such as Bloodgood's "Detonation" album and Deliverance's "Weapons..." album. I suppose that's part of what makes this fun: trying to decide. Wishing The Ludlow Family a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Blessed New Year! -Kent

    Wow! I can´t say enough on what IDLE CURE means to me. I literally cried watching this interview. I began listening to their music on my teen days. Back in the day i did not know any English and because of their lyrics I began to learn the language. Today I am an English teacher. I got all first press of their albums (no bootlegs) I was able to grab their first two records on vinyl. Second Avenue ois on my 10 ten favorite albums of all time. I could listen to it for hours. I even have an Idle Cure playlist when I go running. I remember when I fist heard them, the song was ¨Talk it out" It blew me away instantly. Steve if you ever read this you have always been one of my favorite singers ever. Idle Cure lifted me up when I was sad or depressed. When Mark said they played gigs on weekends and then go to work on Monday oh boy it got to my heart. Thank you for that effort, I never saw you live but your music means a lot today. Even today i play Second Avenue loud and sing along with it as I did back then. If you ever decided to make music again I would surely support it. I could go on and on. Thanks for doing this interview. God bless you Mark and Steve. I WILL AWAYS LOVE AND LISTEN TO IDLE CURE!! Greetings from Costa Rica!!!

I was blown away back in the day when I found out after the concert firsthand, that these talented and accomplished musicians had real full-time jobs, and music was not it. Wow.

Every album is epic and unique with excellent melodic vocals and catchy guitar hooks! When Steve and I became friend's about 10 years ago, that really put the icing on the cake. He was in Oceanside, California, which is where my wife grew up, next to my hometown in Vista. Unfortunately we're not neighbors anymore since our move to Michigan in 2015.

      I can recall those times in which the parents didn't understand our "CCM". The "battle" of having to explain all the time bothered me to some degree back then, but looking back as a parent myself now, I can appreciate the fact that my parents meant well and were simply concerned for my well-being in accordance with their knowledge. I am glad that SCB and Bryan were utilized by The Lord to minister to you! Blessings! -Kent

      Great song from "In the Kingdom"! Musically, it reminds me of "Hot For Teacher" by Van Halen. Rex is a shredder, no doubt. Blessings! -Kent

      No, they do not. Dave Roberts has been the band's lead singer since 2020. Whitecross has released a new album this year called "Fear No Evil", featuring Dave on vocals, Rex Carroll on guitar, Michael Feighan on drums and Benny Ramos on bass. Below is our interview link for Whitecross, featuring the current members. Blessings! -Kent ruclips.net/video/Im1wcJCEXs4/видео.html

      Thanks for always being that wonderful encourager, Jerry! Rex and I are grateful for your friendship! Indeed, those Fighter albums are fantastic, and Billy is such an underrated guitarist - the man can shred when he wants to! Amy's solo album is great as well - a little poppier yet with some choice songs - but dumb me forgot to show it on camera. Doh! Wishing you The Lord's continued blessings, brother! -Kent

    When Master’s Command came out I bought the cd on a hunch. I popped it in my car cd player and was blown away. It was a game changer for me. This was next level and put Christian Metal on par with other secular bands. From there, I went and bought Rebellion and was floored. Their albums all became automatic purchases for me. Hands down, Bruce is a fantastic guitar player and it was nice to hear him give his thoughts on SW and his spiritual beliefs. Very interesting interview guys….thanks!

We will try to remember to ask about local church involvement (keep in mind, our interviews are recorded a fair amount of time prior to their release). Sometimes, we simply ask what our guests are up to today, and they will mention that they "do this or that" in their church, so sometimes the question is automatically answered.
