To whom it may concern,
Wavorly was recently at Skull Church (as in last night) and they did an amazing job. I spent all day listening to their music and was so pleased with their style. FYI (for your information) I really enjoy listening to their stuff.
I’m not here to talk about how much I enjoy Wavorly’s music. Instead I am here to share an interview that Josh did with them before service. It’s pretty cool, so check it out.
Listen to the interview here.
Check out their website here.

If you’re looking to spice up your summer then go no further than Pomegranates. They’ll give your plans a tasteful kick just in time to make you the coolest cat in town. Right now I think this guy is in the lead.
Pomegranates are refreshing and wonderful in ways that I have a hard time explaining. I suppose I can only explain how I feel when I listen to their music.
When I listen to music I like to pretend it is the music playing in the background of the movie of my life. Sometimes my life is quite thrilling and other times it’s not terribly exciting. Some days I might chase down criminal bad guys with my ever witty sidekick, Lenny. Other times I may just be driving down a dirt road with a truck that is too big and has no air conditioning. It depends on the music really.
I’ve never been surfing, but I imagine if I were to be in a movie, Pomegranates music would be playing in the background as I took on a 50ft wave. (I just assume that’s a good size wave.) I’d be sporting my fake Ray Bans and I’d absolutely have a ton of totally noticeable white sunscreen on my nose. I’d probably spend the morning long boarding or riding my red bike cruiser. I’d grab something cheap and delicious for lunch like a fish taco then hit the waves with my buddies. We’d spend the day grabbing great waves and laughing about how awesome everything is. We’d roast s’mores on the beach after a long day and tell stories about how tight life is and how super legit the waves were. I imagine we’d all be driving really old-school vehicles like Rabbits and VW buses. As we drove home we’d have the windows rolled down, the warm night’s breeze in our faces, our hands out the windows flowing with the wind, and the stars would be out in full force. Pomegranates would be playing the whole time making every minute ten billion times more radical feeling.
That’s what I imagine life would be like if I were in a movie and Pomegranates made up the soundtrack. Here’s the thing though, they are from Cincinnati, Ohio. That is the beach and that is not 50ft waves. That doesn’t matter though. I think the music just meets you where you are. (Or where you’re not, but imagine you would be?)
The band started in late 2006 when Jacob Merritt (drums) and Isaac Karns (keyboard, guitar and vocals) got together to make music. Eventually Joey Cook and Dan Lyon came along and joined the band. They’ve put out two albums, Everything is alive (2008) and Everybody, Come Outside (2009). Also, look forward to their new album coming out later this year called One of Us. I think it’s going to be the bee’s knees.
Check out their myspace or facebook or website to enjoy the sweetness of Pomegranates. Also, feel free to be awesome and listen to their music.

Tonight we have Pastor Pedro Garcia, from Calvary Chapel Kendall out here for Skull Church and I think it would be accurate for me to say that the excitement levels of people I’ve been running into has been intensely high.
Pastor Levi had the chance to do a little interview with him, so if you missed it, be sure to check it out here.
Be sure to stop by Skull Church tonight at 7 in the Strand and Liberty theaters, or tune in on the radio or at skullchurch.com

I feel like I never really gave Future of Forestry a chance. I guess that’s not completely true. I did pick their Christmas album to be one of the best of the year, but after the festivities all died down I kind of let Future of Forestry die down as well. Sure, we play them on the radio, and though I never really tuned them out, I never really tuned them in either. Today changes everything. If you can, even remotely, appreciate music and film done well, I think you will really enjoy these videos.
Also, if your environment allows, I suggest cranking up the volume of your speakers to an uncommonly loud volume. Also, maybe set the mood by dimming your lights.
Now, watch these.
They have their final installment of the “Travel” series releasing later this month (June 30th) and I am fantastically excited about it. I really, truly, and sincerely hope you will be as ecstatic as I am.
Check out their myspace for sure!

We had the pleasure of talking to Seabird last week when they were out here for Skull Church, which, by the way, they did an amazing job at. Devan did the interview and they talked about all sorts of things like Montana, music (obviously), tours, Haiti, as well as other fantastic things. I think you might find it quite enjoyable. I know I did.
Check out the interview if you are into wonderful things.
Swing by their myspace if you’re into things that are awesome.
