EPISODE #18 IS HERE!

Lots of 80's Christian rock including a Bride mash-up of the song "Everybody Knows My Name." Is it live, or is it Memorex?" Also, a Double Take from the band Saint - with a song from the 80s and one from their 2019 album called "The Calf." Plus, we'll hear a song from 2020 that features THE greatest Christian metal guitarist from the 80's.

And…how well do you remember the 80's?! We'll find out with a "Sounds of the 80's" audio quiz. 22 sounds in just over a minute. How many will you be able to catch?

So...a new show IS coming. My home office/radio studio went thru an unexpected minor remodel last week. Plus, my mixer board that I use for the radio show was needed for our church's livestream, so I ordered another one last week from Amazon. It never came. They are sending yet another one this week. Can't wait for you to hear the next show! Thanks for your patience.

IT'S A NEW YEAR, AND WE'RE BACK WITH AN ALL NEW, LOUD AND HARD EPISODE! Music from Daniel Band, Bloodgood, Limit, Joshua, Rez Band, Barren Cross, Siloam, Petra, and more! And speaking of Petra, Mike has the low-down from John Schlitt himself on his favorite Petra albums - and his least favorite Petra album. We'll also hear from the original Sacred Warrior lead singer, Ray Parra, about the early years of the band.

And did you know that Bob Carlisle from Allies was in a band that was nominated for a Grammy in 1974? Mike will tell you all about it - and he'll play a clip from that funkadelic, early-years, Jesus Music album!

We'll hear rockin' Christmas songs from our favorite bands and artists from the 80's and early 90's - and we'll even hear a Christmas song from one of the best axemen from that genre. Plus, we'll hear how one band who recorded a classic Christmas song back then almost didn't. And, several of our favorite 80's artists pop-in to give us their Christmas greetings. You'll laugh; you'll rock; you'll worship, and you'll definitely get into the Christmas mood!

EPISODE #15 IS HERE - and it's loaded with great music. Plus...
Back in 1982. Petra released their "More Power to Ya" album. 30 years later, Classic Petra got back together with Greg X Volz at the helm again for a series of concerts. Is it possible that Volz's voice was even better in 2012 than it was in 1982? We'll let you decide. And in 1989, Mike interviewed the lead singer and guitarist of a band that was a one-hit wonder - but at the time of the interview, their one hit was a pretty big deal. We'll hear a clip of the interview and the song. Plus, is it Daniel Band - or is someone else?

Hello Friends! Episode #15 will drop on Saturday, Nov. 28. Then, Episode #16 will drop on Saturday, Dec. 13. This will be our Christmas show. I need 80's Christmas Christian rock/metal song and/or CD suggestions. I have some in mind, but I need your help. Suggest away!

EPISODE #14 IS FINALLY HERE!
Lots of great 80's Christian rock including a song from an "obscure" Whiteheart album. We'll also hear from Joey Knight, the drummer of Stryken where he talks about the first time his band met the boys from Stryper - and the awkward conversation they all had. Plus, our Deep Dive comes from a little-known Christian rock band called "Haven." And, our Fast Forward comes from Barren Cross where we'll hear that lead singer Mike Lee (or Michael Drive - as he's now known) can still nail the high notes 25 years later!

EPISODE #13 IS ON-LINE NOW!
We're featuring some of the golden pipes of the golden age of Christian rock: Les Carlson, Russ Taff, Greg X Volz, Jamie Rowe, John Schlitt - and a guy that was brought in last minute to sing on an album back in 1989...and nailed it! He also sang lead on another album the year before - but because the band mentioned the Lord in the liner notes, the album hardly saw the light of day. We'll hear songs from both albums. And much, much more!
