The new album Wake The World from CCM artist Beloved released yesterday. Their promo line is “Real Music For Real Women.” Forget about the album. I’m more intrigued by the tag line. Real women? Check out their promo picture. Those are real women? Uh … no, those are models or Botoxed soccer moms. Even their…

In June I shared the news that Katy Perry, whose hit single “I Kissed A Girl” was climbing the charts, had released a Christian album back in 2001 under her real name, Katy Hudson. The debate has raged on ever since. Does the song promote homosexuality and does it matter? Is Katy Perry a Christian…

And for my second Pick of The Week … The Wrecking’s national debut album, A New Abolition, releases today, and it’s one you definitely don’t want to miss. The album runs the gamut from modern hook-driven rock (“The Deep”) to powerful ballads (“You Remain”) to some funky urban grooves (“March On”), all of it fresh…

Since we didn’t do a Pick of the Week last week, I have two picks this week. To be honest, I would have had to pick two anyway, because two great albums release today and I couldn’t choose between the two! The first Pick of the Week is Jimmy Needham’s Not Without Love. Whether he’s…

But I hate the Jonas Brothers commercial empire. A few years ago,…

Hey, Gospel Soundcheck readers! Just a quick note to let you know that I’ve joined the 21st century and started using Twitter – “started” being a euphamism for “I set up an account and will now spend several days trying to figure out what to do with it.” When people find out what I do…

Like, OMG, today is Joe Jonas’ birthday!!!! He’s the so so totally amazingly cool middle Jonas brother, and like, today, he turns 19 years old!!!!!! The Jonas Brothers – or JoBros, as the teen mags affectionally have dubbed them – released their third album, A Little Bit Longer, this past week. Watch this blog next…

With a last name like Bierman, it seems fitting that the front man for the funky R&B big band Denver and the Mile High Orchestra, is a connoisseur of beer – root beer, that is. While chatting with Denver at the Kingdom Bound music festival, his brother Nathan, who is the band’s road manager, jokes…

Did you guess the answer to this week’s trivia question? Denver Bierman, front man for the big band Denver and the Mile High Orchestra, is a connoisseur of what food item? The answer is …
