Stand Together Fest Next Week!

So, a few of the HXCChristian.com staff will be going to Stand Together Fest next Friday and Saturday (the 13th and 14th of April) and we are super psyched to see some of the bands that will be playing. We know a lot of the bands on the bill and really look forward to hanging, having fellowship, and enjoying some good music. The good folks at Blood & Ink Records are the ones that are putting this event on and asked if we could help promote it in the final push to get as many people to the show as possible. It sounds like there is a good crowd coming out and there are still some tickets available.  Tickets are only $45 for a bunch of great bands, so, if you are within 2 hours, you have no excuse not to come and hang out.  You can find out more info on the Stand Together Fest website and buy tickets there.  As for Cornerstone, I (Josh) will not be going this year, however, we have a few folks that will be going, but I do not think we will be running a full tent this year.  More info to come on that in the coming month.   Here are some of the people we want to give shout outs to and look forward to finally meeting and hanging out with:

Sean and Daniel from Blood & Ink Records (we love you guys)

Kevin from Beacons (we both

Introducing “Thin Ice” – Texas Hardcore

Some of the guys from Thin Ice contacted me about the band.  They thought their music and message needed to spread, and I agree.  These guys are pumping out some serious hardcore tunes.  Texas (where the band hails from) and Southern California seem to be hot-spots right now for Christian hardcore and punk.

Thin Ice very recently signed with Blood & Ink Records, good catch guys, I am glad that you are getting back to your hardcore roots.  I certainly look forward to hearing Thin Ice’s first full length on Blood & Ink.  You might also want to check out the bands hardcore cousin Goldmill, It would be really cool if B&I would also get some of their stuff out there.  Be sure to support Thin Ice, buy their merch, see the live, tell them you read about them here!

Q: When did Thin Ice form?  Where did the name Thin Ice come from?

A: Thin Ice formed in June 2009. My guitarist, Chris, and I started writing some heavy riffs and decided it would be fun to find other members and start playing shows. As far as our name goes, there’s really no meaning behind it. It’s Just something Chris, me, and a few other friends (not in the band) came up with.

Q: What does everyone in the band do when you are not playing?  Which members are also members of Goldmill (which I might add is also a pretty sweet HXC
