Along with other bands on the illustrious Tooth & Nail roster, Ivoryline do a great job of representing their record label quite well; they bring the melodic flavor of Anberlin and the dynamic intensity of Falling Up on their full-length debut, There Came A Lion (02.05.08).  Frontman Jeremy Gray uses his inimitable vocal range to inject a heavier, fuller sound to his band’s upbeat alt-rock momentum.  Standout tracks “Be Still and Breathe,” “Remind Me I’m Alive,” and “Hearts and Minds,” are a few of the livelier songs that emerge from There Came A Lion.  The slowest song from this album’s track listing is “The Last Word”, which still keeps a pretty energetic viscosity.  Ivoryline have an amazing variety of sound and spirit; definitely a top-notch, rock-out album!

Thousand Foot Krutch has been gracing the music world and our listening ears with their unique and irresistible sound since they “Set It Off” in 2001 with their first release. Since then, they have morphed into more of a pure rock sound.
Their newest release, “The Flame In All Of Us,” just adds to their repertoire of outstanding music. Trevor McNevan’s distinct voice and incredibly honest lyrics will draw you in. Of course, I can’t neglect to address the skillful drums and guitars that make you tap your toe, sway along, and mostly rock out to the strong and sometimes a bit more mellow melodic lines.

Oregon rockers Falling Up released their third studio album, Captiva, on October 2nd of last year. Captiva is Falling Up’s first release since the departure of guitarist Joseph Kisselburgh. Guitarist Micah Sannan and keyboardist Adam Taylor also left the band following the recording of Captiva, leaving the once six-member band a three-piece act. Despite Falling Up’s member changes, their latest release remains true to the elaborate, innovative and creative sound they are recognized for while moving their music in a new, radio-friendly direction.
