HXCChristian.com Comp Album!

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

The Rekoning – They Believe!

I bought The Rekoning’s new album “The Road Less Traveled” and the second I popped it into my CD player….I was hooked. This is a very talented band. If you like the sounds of the Dropkick Murphys, The Bouncing Souls, a bit of The Pogues and some Social D mixed in, then this is definitely a band you need to checkout. The guys in the band are friends with The Deal and have been influenced by the band over the years. Now, they are playing with The Deal (they recently reformed) on a regular basis, as well as bands like No Innocent Victim, Braveheart, The Faith Snakes, and even making a appearance at the Facedown Fest this year. I HIGHLY recommend their CD, go and buy it, you won’t be disappointed, even more so because the album has enough material on it to be two albums!

Band Name: The Rekoning
Music Style: Punk/Oi!/Hardcore
Location (Home Base): Riverside, CA

Q: Where did the Rekoning get its origins from? How did the name come about, there must be some meaning behind the way you spelled The Rekoning.

A: I was watching the movie Tombstone one day and in the movie Doc Holiday says, “It’s not revenge he’s after, it’s the reckoning.” Then I found a scripture in the Bible in Isaiah 10:3 about a day of reckoning which hits kind of hard to the heart, which is fitting for us. We then decided to change the spelling
