Chris Bender’s newest single, “Glad In It,” is an up tempo, inspirational track that will have you singing along before you realize you even know the words. A minister since the age of 13, Bender has spent his life spreading the word of the Lord through song and lifting up …

Colorful landscapes and still-shots from vibrant live performances fill the screen upon pressing play on the new video for Mad River’s “Come As You Are” single, but the visuals are hardly the main attraction here. With a mightily melodic bend to every verse we hear (not to mention a swaying …

With a lustrous slink to its rhythm and rhyme, David Drake’s “Shooting Arrows at the Sun” begins to take shape before us. Whether we’re watching the video for the single or simply taking in the song as it was originally recorded, there’s a profound darkness that overtakes most every word …
