From The Eyes Of Servants – Filling Take It Back’s Shoes!

The metro Chicago area is like a hot mess of hardcore and punk bands right now.  Seems like more and more great music is coming from the entire Chicago area. From The Eyes of Servants is no exception, although they are not from Chicago, they are relatively close.  You may be familiar with this band, they actually used to be more of a metalcore band, but changed direction and took on more of a hardcore sound which is reminiscent of Take It Back (whom will be breaking up very soon).  Not only that, From The Eyes of Servants will be on tour with Nothing Til Blood and We The Gathered in a few months.  So give these guys a look, they have a new album that is coming out soon and you should pick it up!

Cornerstone 2010 – HXCChristian.com Represents

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.  Apparently, like most small towns, there isn’t a whole lot to do there, so putting on shows is a great way to blow off steam and stay out of trouble.  The lineup was Restore the Roar (Doug’s band), Debtor (Philly hardcore), Worker (Tennessee hardcore), Dead Icons (Lexington hardcore), and The Showdown (Metal).  I was really impressed with Debtor and Worker (Debtor is a Christian band, Worker is not although their message is positive, and the dudes in the band are really cool).  It was a fun show, and I was glad that HXCChristian.com could be part of it.  After the show, RJ (HXCChristian.com
