Cornerstone has come and gone. Even though it was almost a whole week, it feels like it went by quickly, and there is never enough time in the day to catch all the shows you would like to go and see. And, when you running your own “Generator Tent” it is even harder. I was there to see shows, tape them, talk to the bands, and to meet people and tell them about the site. Not to mention meet a lot of great people that already know about the site and post on the forum.
Doug (one of the contributors at HXCChristian.com) did a pre-show in Campbellsville, KY the Sunday before Cornerstone. I drove 9 hours to get to Campbellsville, it was an easy trip. The show was awesome. Doug is working with the University to put on show for all the kids and peeps in the area.

Die Fighting is a band that you need to keep and ear on. These guys are up and comers in the Southern California Christian hardcore scene. Having played with the likes of Sleeping Giant, Braveheart, Death Come Fast, The Great Commission, Sovereign Strength, Sleeping Giant, and even No Innocent Victim, you can tell these bands have influenced the sound of Die Fighting. Die Fighting is a band that truly puts their faith in Christ in all of their songs. Be sure to check out the band and keep an eye out for their EP they are recording laying down right now. Thanks Isaac (from Braveheart and Road Worn Saints) for the interview, big props, and God bless!

Q: Give us a little history of Die Fighting:
A: Die Fighting started in January of 2007, like most young bands we were just a group of friends that found out each one of us played a different instrument. At the time we started we were still just a bunch of high school kids. We were all just kids who had gotten drum sets and guitars as Christmas presents when we were younger and we had fooled around with it enough to be able to play together. Little known fact, at our first practice ever Brian, our vocalist, and our friend Jonny got a little rowdy and went through a big 10’ plate glass window at the Stronghold Venue in Chino. From there we
