I think I tried to submit news to you but you didn't post it. what do you mean by sign up to be you're very own poster/staff member?

Further Seems Forever Back in Action? [ tyler h ]

im not sure which is more awesome...that brian broke his year long shun of ivm or that someone called underoath and showbread emo bands. worst take ever.

Breaking the Silence NOW The Letter Black [ tyler h ]

yea yea, every band is one of the hardest working bands in the industry

Further Seems Forever Back in Action? [ Levi G ]

It's cool dude, and we aren't as bad as we sound. I think we just get irritated with band bashing, MOST of us actually really care about these groups and are just trying to be respectful. Granted, some people don't care, but a lot of us take that stuff personally. You'll find people around here (myself included) are very opinionated. I don't think people mean to come off as pricks or anything, I certainly don't.

Breaking the Silence NOW The Letter Black [ Levi G ]

"this band is one of the most hard working bands in the industry and even though you may not like the music they deserve your respect." And they're somewhat local to me. So, gotta support 'em.

Freedom Sale - 25% Off In the IVM Store!! [ isaac ]

holy american flags.

Two Copeland Interviews [ Kirk ]

Yea my flatmate works at Mana (New Zealands chain of christian book stores) and they chose not to get mewithoutYou's new album in because of the word Allah apearing on it. End of the day a store can choice not to stock an album but it would make it easier if stores knew what to expect from a label. Like Facedown for example does that well but doesnt have christian distribution. Which im not complaining about i think they are making some very wise choices!

Special Day [ (a different) Dan ]

Sweet! I was right :) I get a cd?

The Crucified - The Complete Collection [ Brandon ]

New Project 86 Song and Interview Coming Soon [ Brandon ]

I really like the new songs.

Further Seems Forever Back in Action? [ daguitarmaster ]

i wish i knew a guy named adam, cuz it's an awesome name! yeah i def see your guys points, and i apologize for defaming a band which apparently, many people seem to like..i still don't like them, but i acted immature about it..at 22, youd think i'd be over that, but obviously it's something god is helping me with

New Project 86 Song and Interview Coming Soon [ The Gloamglozer ]

I'm seeing them in tulsa on the 6th! along with sleeping giant, oh sleeper, the chariot(BEST LIVE BAND EVER!) and haste the day! Best concert of the year!!!!

Special Day [ TylerS ]

Oooh, maybe you could coordinate thousands of fireworks shows around the country for the 10th anniversary!!

Special Day [ Brandon ]

(a different) Dan wins above. He guessed it, the 9th anniversary of Indie Vision Music's launch. I launched the site on July 4th, 2000 as a simple webstore, selling hundreds of different albums from Christian artists. Slowly over time the site has developed into something much greater and here we are 9 years later as a webzine, specializing in the promotion and exposure of Christian aritsts. Thanks to all of you staff for sticking with the site and me for the past few years (some of you longer and some of your shorter). Next year is the 10th anniversary so I'd like to do something special for that.

Two Copeland Interviews [ tyler h ]

there are certain albums that they don't distribute to christian book stores...at least not anymore...like mxpx's on the cover 2 wasn't because they only covered secular bands

Two Copeland Interviews [ matt_b86 ]

kirk, you make a great point! it seems that maybe tooth & nail should consider making a label for artists that are not Christians and market them differently. it seems a bit deceitful to purchase a secular band at a Christian bookstore. it seems comparable to purchasing a book written by Richard Dawkins at a Christian bookstore.

Special Day [ Josh ]

Let me make a random guess this is actually the day President Lyndon B Johnson signs the freedom of information act july 4th 1966.

Special Day [ Michael Mayer III ]

It's IVM Festivus Day?

Becoming The Archetype - Dichotomy [ Michael Mayer III ]

Yeah, I only get hard copies so that sounds good. Over at RateYourMusic.com there's a ton of people who normally hate on anything the slightest bit 'Christian' and they all love this. A lot had it at the top or near it on their Best of 2008 lists so I think I need to get it.

Special Day [ Matthew Jenkins ]

There is a 1 in 365.25 chance Jesus was born on July 4th and I am getting married then.

Two Copeland Interviews [ Kirk ]

Well i think the fact that T&N/Solid State/BEC are distributed through CMG means that they accept and embrace the christian stance. T&N using CMG distribution basicly garantees christian book shops stock their artists as far as i know. Because of this i believe maybe they should only sign christian bands or they should distribute through someone other than CMG. This is not me saying i will only accept christian music because i listen to enough very much anti music. Simply that when someone buys an album released on T&N they are expecting it to be christian in nature. So with the case of He Is Legend (whos album I Am Hollywood i purchased in a christian book store) i dont think there music should be sold in a christian bookstore.

Special Day [ Scott L ]

"I launched Indie Vision Music in July of 2000 with the purpose of sharing independent Christian music with a lost and hurting world." - Staff Blog, January 30th

Further Seems Forever Back in Action? [ Scott L ]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I even thought of it myself. :-) Obviously, I'm just giving you a hard time 'cause I don't know you from Adam (although I do know a guy named Adam)... my point was that talk is cheap in situations like this. From all of us. Your certainly welcome to your opinion, but strong minority opinions will always cause waves to some degree. Glad to see you're at least a pretty good sport about it.

The Canvas Waiting - A Seasons Change [ Scott L ]

You should. They're pretty good.

Breaking the Silence NOW The Letter Black [ mat ]

ok mark looks NOTHING like m.shayamalan, this band is one of the most hard working bands in the industry and even though you may not like the music they deserve your respect.

The Canvas Waiting - A Seasons Change [ daguitarmaster ]

i think the review is great. i've heard of these guys, maybe i should give them a whack

Becoming The Archetype - Dichotomy [ daguitarmaster ]

these guys are great. i haven't picked it up yet though

Leeland Album Coming August 25th [ daguitarmaster ]

i've only heard 2 or 3 of these guys songs, but from what i've heard, they are very tight as musicians

Tyler H is Stoked! [ daguitarmaster ]

no dude, 22. good guess though

Further Seems Forever Back in Action? [ daguitarmaster ]

@justmebrian let me have my opinion? wow..what would i ever do without you?

Further Seems Forever Back in Action? [ daguitarmaster ]

hey, look ma! it worked! haha why would i need to back up my opinion with proof if it's only an opinion? wow, this site is overrun with pricks! and i never said i knew everything about the music scene. but i know im not clueless about it..im not the kind of person who just disses bands i hate just to start an argument. i guess change has come to america. we can no longer voice our opinions without being slammed by other posers. and to the dude that said i work at target, you crack me up dude

Special Day [ TylerM ]

Definitely the launch of the IVM.

New Project 86 Song and Interview Coming Soon [ Phil Recognition ]

i've been a project fan since drawing black lines, and will be seeing them for the first time this year, can't wait oh and also excited to see sleeping giant again.. yep

Impending Doom [ brandon ]

zao is not a christian band in my opinion. read the interview with them in HM magazine and then rethink that statement. That is definately something that would hinder me from believing a band is christian. and just because it is drinking/ being drunk and not an eleven point star why is that "understandable"? seriously man think about what you say before you just spout off nonsense.

New Project 86 Song and Interview Coming Soon [ The Gloamglozer ]

Andrew Schwab:I don't want to be remembered as a "Positive" band........GASP! the funny thing though is that(at least right now it seems) their story has a happy ending.

New Project 86 Song and Interview Coming Soon [ The Gloamglozer ]

I must say project 86 has one of the most controversial and interesting histories in all christian music!
