We’re taking a Joyride through our Bop 10 by The Wedding, and we roped in Cody Driggers to join us. It may have been a little unfair asking Cody to pick his top 10 songs from his own band without assigning The Lesser Worth to the rest of their catalog. But In The End, he came through. Cody may be known for his burgers, but he’s serving up juicy nuggets this whole episode.If you like what you hear, please rate, review, subscribe, and follow!Connect with us here:Email: [email protected]: https://www.churchjamsnow.com/IG: @churchjamsnowTwitter: @churchjamsnowFB: https://www.facebook.com/churchjamsnowpodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/churchjamsnowpodcast

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the 17th anniversary of Polarity by The Wedding. Among those gathered are Kevin Kiehn, Cody, Driggers, and Mark Lee Townsend to cover the record with us. We’re splitting this episode into two parts because there’s too much great conversation for just one episode. On Part 1 you’ll hear some backstory where the band was going into recording Polarity. Lookout for Part 2 where we go track-by-track through the record.If you like what you hear, please rate, review, subscribe, and follow!Connect with us here:Email: [email protected]: https://www.churchjamsnow.com/IG: @churchjamsnowTwitter: @churchjamsnowFB: https://www.facebook.com/churchjamsnowpodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/churchjamsnowpodcast

We’re joined by Kevin Breuner of Smalltown Poets to cover their sophomore record, Listen Closely. Following up a hit debut record is never easy, and Kevin provides a firsthand account for all the band encountered going into this record. Naturally as the band’s guitarist, we get pretty nerdy on guitar stuff as we comb through the songs looking for Anything Genuine.If you like what you hear, please rate, review, subscribe, and follow!Connect with us here:Email: [email protected]: https://www.churchjamsnow.com/IG: @churchjamsnowTwitter: @churchjamsnowFB: https://www.facebook.com/churchjamsnowpodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/churchjamsnowpodcast

Kiss those lonely tears you shed goodbye because we’re covering Crashings by Falling Up for its 20th anniversary. We all have somewhat limited exposure to this beloved band. Will we be Falling In Love with Falling Up, or will our takes leave fans with a Broken Heart?

I never thought that you could say these words. Is this really happening that The Weak's End is turning 20 years old? It most certainly is. Fortunately, we're joined by Devin Shelton from Emery to help us process all the feelings surrounding such a monumental event.

And to help us with our explanation we’re joined by music connoisseur extraordinaire Josh Balogh. This is our third time covering DC Talk, and they’re aching for their first Bop from TJ.

We might seem a little down based on the record we’re covering today, but it’s actually a wishlist record that we’re covering on its 18th anniversary to celebrate TJ’s birthday! So we are going into The Great Depression but for a joyous occasion. This is our first Blindside record on the show, and we’re excited to hear what these four Swedes have in store for us. It’s no secret where TJ’s landing on this one. Are Kylan and Josh to follow TJ in their assessment, or will they come to rest in their own great depression this time?

We’re covering Fourth From the Last by The W’s to celebrate its 25th anniversary. And if that wasn’t exciting enough, we’re joined by one of the W’s, Valentine Hellman! Val was a saxophonist and occasional clarinetist in the band. We had such an amazing time with Val hearing first-hand about the early days of the band, all the songs on this record, and more! Why don’t you skid-il-ly-do on over and celebrate a record that’s Fourth From the Last in the alphabet, but first in our hearts.Church Jams Now is sponsored by Collide Records.

We’ve got the notion to cover What Are You Waiting For? by FM Static to start the commotion for its twentieth anniversary. This is a wishlist record Josh has been waiting to cover on the show, and he’s sure Kylan and TJ will love it definitely maybe.

We had the pleasure of talking to Aaron Newberry from Sons and many others about his music career. We considered making bingo cards for all the bands we mention in the interview, but it might be easier to keep track of the bands Aaron hasn’t played with. Of course we talk about Sons and their record, Keep Quiet. Aaron’s making music under the name Kid Again, and he’s working on tons of really cool projects these days. We had a wonderful time talking with Aaron about music, composing, and his artistic process. We hope you enjoy our conversation!Church Jams Now is sponsored by Collide Records.

We’ve been getting pretty rambunctious on the show lately so we’re going to try being a little more reserved while we cover Keep Quiet by Sons. It seems the record’s title was somewhat prophetic, and the buzz around it was accordingly hushed. Josh is looking to change that, however, and bring awareness to this overlooked record. Will Kylan and TJ Believe in Something after listening, or will they feel it’s nothing new Under the Sun?Church Jams Now is sponsored by Collide Records.

We’re breaking free of the Typical as we cover the self-titled, debut record from Mutemath. This is a wishlist record for TJ, and it was picked by our guest, Adrian Hummel. Adrian was a DJ at 89.7 Power FM in DFW, which we mention quite often on the show. He’s also a huge fan and owner of some one-of-a-kind Mutemath memorabilia. Kylan discovered he may have been cursed by a witch, but other than that we had a great time talking Mutemath.Church Jams Now is sponsored by Collide Records.

We’re stepping right up to the microphone to cover our third Newsboys record, Step Up To The Microphone. This record abounds with musical touchpoints, and we make it our mission to identify as many as humanly possible. It’s also never too early to start planning your Halloween costume, and we’ve got a few solid ideas from this episode. If the truth be known whether this record is a bop or a flop, do you really wanna know?Church Jams Now is sponsored by Collide Records.

Once upon a one time, one time, one time, one time, one time there was a podcast that covered Kaleidoscope Superior by Earthsuit. Luminary wizard Jonathan Hoogendoorn joined the hosts on their quest to search out and find the mysterious being known only as the Schizophreniac. Many obstacles arose along their journey. There were harrowing sky flashings, wheels within wheels, and a narrow escape from the deadly creature, Funkmouth Tobootcha. Nevertheless, they persisted against the grain of defeat. Our heroes completed their quest, returned home riding on a whitehorse, and lived happily ever after in Osmosis Land.Church Jams Now is sponsored by Collide Records.

We're back with Abishai Collingsworth from Wolves At The Gate & Project 86, but this time he joins us as a regular guy to cover Messengers by August Burns Red. We couldn't have asked for a better regular guest to dive into the insane drumming on this record. Wipe the mud chords off your shoes, grab your china cymbal, and hearken to what tidings the Messengers from Lancaster, PA bring.Church Jams Now is sponsored by Collide Records.
