As a South Florida resident, you have probably heard of Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale (CCFL) and 4KIDS of South Florida, two important local ministries that are making an undeniable impact for Christ both in the local community and around the nation. However, you may be less familiar with a powerhouse in today’s Christian rock scene who has strong ties to both CCFL and 4KIDS. Submission Red emerged onto the national Christian music scene in 2008, after the guitar player for Skillet found the band on MySpace and brought them up to Chicago to record their first album. Since then, Submission […]

Jeremy Camp is a study in contrasts. Known for the hard-driving lyrics of “Speaking Louder Than Before,” “Tonight” and “No Matter What,” his latest project We Cry Out-The Worship Project is a thoughtful and highly reflective collection of songs that express not only where he is as a man but an acknowledgement of the story God has given him. It is the story of a family man whose delight in his children (two daughters, Isabella,7, Arianne, almost 6, and an infant son, Egan) is obvious in his twitpics of ballet recitals, daddy/daughter teas, and his son’s first smile. Interspersed throughout […]

As I waited for the bookstore clerk to hand me a copy of the latest autobiography I was assigned to read, I was filled with trepidation and albeit a little fear. As I glanced at the cover, I couldn’t help but be a bit offended. Hanging on a cross of guitars, bare chested and enshrouded with tattoos was a depiction of Reggie “Fieldy” Arvizu, the acclaimed bassist for the mega popular and successful nu metal band Korn. Flipping through Fieldy’s book, Got the Life: My Journey of Addiction, Faith, Recovery and Korn, I readied myself for the rollercoaster ride of […]

The Sunshine State’s rolls include Francesca Battistelli, Jonny Diaz, Anberlin, Flyleaf, Submission Red, Fireflight and Group 1 Crew to name a few. In addition to all of these amazing musicians and groups, you can now add two new artists to that list – Kerrie Roberts and Andrew Ehrenzeller. Andrew Ehrenzeller: Beauty is What Remains It all began with praying for a drum set at the age of seven. This one instrument would begin a lifetime romance intertwining his love […]

Recently The Good News caught up with Tricia Brock, lead vocals for the band Superchic[k], Matt Dally, bass guitar, and Melissa Brock, guitar & vocals, at Palm Beach County’s Christian music festival WayFest. Is there a specific song recently that has a lot of meaning to you? Melissa Brock: Our songs [or someone else’s]?  “So beautiful” is probably my favorite one. Kind of like our girl anthem song on the record. It’s one of those things that encourage girls to find their beauty from within, not according to the world’s standards. It’s a chant to remind ourselves that we are […]

GMA Dove winners and former MSN “Artist of the Year” David Crowder*Band will release their fifth studio album, “Church Music,” on Sept. 22 from sixstepsrecords and EMI CMG Label Group. Aptly titled, the band hopes their self-produced recording will prompt listeners to recognize the continual evolvement of music within the church as well as transport them into an awareness that we exist within the very presence of God, therefore allowing “church music” to happen anywhere. “I hope this album serves as a reminder of music within the Church, of its richness and its broadness and the tension that exists in […]
