"Hello"
Recorded by After Edmund
Sophisticated and complex musically, yet lyrically direct and accessible, new Slanted Records artist After Edmund is poised to take the Christian music scene by storm. Kicking off their debut album with the swirling chords of "Clouds" and the frenetic, driving "Thank God", After Edmund tackles themes of a desperate desire to feel God's presence, being honest in the midst of pain and losing everything to truly find Christ. Producer Scotty Wilbanks (DecembeRadio, Third Day) adeptly captures the crackling energy of the band's powerful, kick-out-the-slats live shows.

"Give Yourself Away "
Recorded by Robbie Seay Band
In the last few years, Robbie Seay Band has built a name for being one of the smartest and most uncompromising new bands in Christian music. The band's debut album Better Days earned the trio a solid college following not just because of Seay's enigmatic melodies and gritty vocals but also because of his challenging perspective on justice, faith and hope. With its balance of modern worship and folk-pop, Robbie Seay Band has made fans of influential people including David Crowder and author Donald Miller (Blue Like Jazz). Compared to Better Days, Give Yourself Away is bigger in regard to its songs and its message. (Review from newreleasetuesday.com)
