“God, I’m in the place again/I’m trying so hard not to fall/But everything keeps coming down with the rain.”–Everyday Sunday I’ve always appreciated melancholy songs. There’s something about the toned down, raw nature of a rock band that grips my heart and makes me pay attention, like KISS’s “Beth” or Five Iron Frenzy’s “Every NewContinue reading “Broken and Not So Broken”

Take 5 with Jason Carson of The Supertones
When I was a teenager in the mid-to-late 90’s, the third wave ska movement was in full swing, especially in Christian music circles with bands like Five Iron Frenzy, the Insyderz, and of course, the Orange County Supertones. A fan favorite, the Supertones released a bevy of radio hits including “Away From You,” “Little Man,”Continue reading “Take 5 with Jason Carson of The Supertones”
Take 5 with singer/songwriter Justin McRoberts

Christmas Un-Wrapped with Reese Roper
Reese Roper (Five Iron Frenzy, brave Saint Saint, Roper) granted me one of my first interviews ever—for my cut-and-paste zine, Third Nail. I thanked him by giving him a can of Spam. Now we’re both much older and we’re doing it again—interviewer and interviewee—to celebrate the holidays with another Christmas Un-Wrapped. Speaking of wrapping, I’mContinue reading “Christmas Un-Wrapped with Reese Roper”
I’m Will Always Be Thankful For Five Iron Frenzy
I’m trying to become a more positive person, because I can go from happy to negative in one second flat. Part of letting go of negativity, I think, is embracing thankfulness—for what God has given me, even though at times I grumble about how it’s not what I really want. God knows what I need,Continue reading “I’m Will Always Be Thankful For Five Iron Frenzy”

The End is Near
This is one of my favorite Five Iron Frenzy songs. It’s appropriately titled “New Year’s Eve” and it’s off their final album, The End is Here. I listen to this song every year on New Year’s Eve because it helps me to reflect, but also to move forward. I wish I could find a clipContinue reading “The End is Near”
