Seems like Cornerstone 2011 was quick this year. HXCChristian.com had a tent this year located next to the Legacy Stage. Micah who runs the Legacy Stage reached out to us and asked if we could team up. Of course we said yes. So we were right in the middle of all the action. This year we had our great DIY Gatorade, gave our free stickers, and other freebies. We also did our annual spaghetti dinner on Thursday night. We cooked 36 pounds of spaghetti and made 7 gallons of sauce for our event. Every year, we are happy to serve hungry mouths at Cornerstone. We do what we do because 1. The Lord tells us to serve our fellow Christians, and 2. We love the Christian hardcore scene, its people, and the bands. What a better way to express our thanks and support than by feeding as many folks as we can. And a special thanks to everyone who felt moved to give a donation, no matter how small or large, this helps keep us going, so thank you!
There were so many great bands playing this year, in particular, Blood & Ink records did a B&I family and friends day at the Solace Stage (which spanned two different days). What was cool about this show is that it included such great B&I bands as Venia, Jawbone, Friends, Dependency, Thin Ice, Ironwill, Thirtyseven, Divide The Sea, and Debtor, but also bands including Cool Cough (side project of the guys

This is our shirt design this year. Pretty cool huh?
Hey folks, the staff of HXCChristian.com will be descending on Cornerstone 2011. We really look forward to fellowship with all our friends, new friends, and folks that we have not met yet. This year we will be right next to our friends that run The Legacy Stage. For those of you don’t know, Legacy Stage is THE stage if you want to catch all the hardcore and punk bands at Cornerstone. HXCChristian.com will have our own tent this year and we will be having fun in the mornings. We will have meet and greets during the week with various bands including Officer Negative, Strengthen What Remains, Clear Convictions, and several other bands. We will be providing coffee for the meet and greets and probably some sort of breakfast, so be sure to stop in and check the schedule. We will also have some freebies, so stop in and grab some DIY Gatorade and some HXCChristian.com stickers.
On Thursday evening we will have our annual “Christian Hardcore Spaghetti Dinner.” This is where the staff of HXCChristian.com serves you, the fans of the site and anyone else in appreciation for supporting our efforts. After all, we are here to support the bands, labels, and fans and help spread the gospel. The dinner is free, but if you feel inclined, make a small donation and we can continue to feed as many hungry mouths as possible.
We will also have a special guest this year

ORDER IT NOW! VISIT THUMPER PUNK RECORDS
For those of you who have not heard, HXCChristian.com will have a comp album due out around March 16th. Special thanks to our pals at Thumper Punk Records who helped with all the heavy lifting on the comp. “We at HXCChristian.com are really excited for this comp album to be released,” says Josh of HXCChristian.com, “not only did a ton of great bands step forward to contribute to the album, but the proceeds will help HXCChristian.com to continue to have a great presence at music festivals such as Cornerstone.” While HXCChristian.com keeps it overhead low by a pure DIY ethic, we really like to do it up at Cornerstone. Last year, we had an official generator tent where we were able to have bands do “meet-and-greets” with all the folks who attend Cornerstone. Leroy – lead singer for War of Ages, Andy – lead singer of A Plea For Purging, and the guys from Debtor, all came out to answer questions about the band, life on the road, and how God has used them to reach out to people at shows. We also had a pancake breakfast with Call to Preserve, and a free spaghetti dinner where we must have fed 200 people. We look forward to doing it bigger and better at Cornerstone this year. So, by purchasing a download of this comp, or buying the disc will help support our efforts.
Enough about us…..Who is on the comp? Well, we had 25 bands

Hey Folks. Some big things are going on. God is doing great things through HXCChristian.com. We are officially hosting a tent at Cornerstone Festival this year. We were originally going to do an artists lounge, and setup a small tent to interview bands and meet all the cool people that grace the site and forum with their presence. However, God has much bigger plans for us. We are going to have an official tent, the HXCChristian.com tent. We are looking for bands that want to do acoustic sets, or perhaps spoken word/questions from the fans about life on the road, great stories about shows gone wild, or about how God has used the band to reach out to people that otherwise have never heard the gospel or maybe rejected it. I know that Call To Preserve, Debtor, and a few other bands said they would be down. So if you are interested in having your band hang, we would love to meet you, hang with you, and have you guys play an acoustic set or do a group spoken word, or just share stories of life on the road. Email me at Josh @ HXCChristian DOT com if you are interested. We don’t have a schedule or anything.
In other news East Coast Christian hardcore band TEN33 unofficially officially announced (to me at least) that they are doing a reunion show in the near future. If you know anything about these guys, then you know that they put on a great

I miss the “good ole days”. That is really the only statement that I can make. People were going to shows for the pure fact that that is where they truly wanted to be. They wanted to be a part of something. And the bands that were a part of this scene were ready to book a show with friends that they had. The thought of a booking agency was just unheard of. If you saw someone new, you would walk up and introduce yourself.
Let us fast forward to now. I am not a fan of these days of so called “hardcore”. I put hardcore in parenthesis for the fact that the true meaning of why this was all started is no longer alive. It is no longer shows, we have concert events. Bands have these big named booking agencies that will not talk to you unless you go through their agent. And their agents will not talk to you unless you have a cool concert promotion name and are willing to pay a so called “hardcore” band $8000 to come play with a stage plan and a tour rider. I have always said… if you want to become rich, go be in a bar band playing creed covers.
The fact is that most of the people that were all about hardcore pride we’re the ones that turned their backs and said “Forget this!” Now they hang out at the bars listening to talentless
