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

I have had many discussions with people that are Christians, or many Christians that are in a band, but do not consider their band a Christian band. My discussions have left we me with one conclusion, that bands that have Christian members can be just as Christian or even more Christian than a band that labels themselves such. Killing Years is an example of a fantastic hardcore band that does not label itself as Christian, however, getting to know the band members and how devoted they are to Christ and living a Christian lifestyle (to the best of their abilities), their faith comes through in their music, however, I must warn you, that their lyrics look at the darker side of trials and tribulations, and their is the occasional curse, which could be a stumbling block for some.
Killing Years is an awesome example of 90′s influenced hardcore, taking the lead from bands like Strongarm, Shai Hulud, and Six Feet Deep. Killing Years does a fantastic job taking the influence from this time period of hardcore music and putting their own blood, sweat, and tears into it. So….read on, the band has some great things to say about not labeling themselves a Christian band, what they think of the Christian scene, and where you can hear them.

Hey Everyone, it has been a while. I had some personal trials I was going through, but the Lord provided and things are back on track.
Some news going on out there. Looks like The Great Commission, a hardcore outfit out of Redlands/Grand Terrace, California has signed with Strike First Records (yes, you read right, Strike First), which in itself if news too. The Great Commission had a self released demo they put out that was really good, a bit raw, but hey, it’s hardcore, isn’t that what it is all about? DIY! The band is heading into to the studio according to their myspace page, and plans to release a full length album in early 2009. We wish the band the best and hope that God continues to bless them.
Strike First Records is relaunching as a subsidiary of Facedown Records and has three bands signed to the label, Through Solace, The Great Commission, and Hope for the Dying. We wish the label the best and have lots of suggestions if they want to hook up with great Christian hardcore bands to sign.
A few releases:
Call to Preserve’s second album has been released on Facedown Records. The title of the album is “From Isolation.” We are big fans of Call to Preserve here at HXC Christian, and you can read a full interview with the band that was done a few months ago here . We have not had the opportunity to pick up the album yet, so I cannot
