The Antidote - Show 50 - Mixed bag of music

Abram joined me, once again, in the studio of Trent Radio for this weeks installment of The Antidote. We offered up another night of eclectic music.

Fathers were made to disappoint their children.  Listen in as Abram recounts how he missed a great concert experience in Toronto. We also aired one of the longest tracks in my music collection with the 14 minute song "Cleanse Me" from O'Brother. The variety of styles and bands will definitely hold your interest.

Showbread headman and lead vocalist Josh Dies joins The Antidote next week with an insightful  interview and you'll  have the opportunity to listen to their outstanding music. We'll be running through some of Showbread's discography which illustrates their tremendous lyrical and musical style.

The Antidote - Show 49 - Ravenhill

This past summer I had the chance to see Ravenhill on stage at the Cornerstone festival. Joshua Clifton, lead vocalist and founder of Ravenhill, spent some time with The Antidote discussing the band and their music.

Listen in to the band Ravenhill on the recording of this week's broadcast and their unique and passionate blend of soul, rock, and gospel. An unusual sound and an extraordinary band.

Next week, Abram will be joining me in the studio as we offer up another night of eclectic music. You'll also be hearing one of the longest songs in my music collection.

The Antidote - Show 47 - The La De les

This past July I attended the Cornerstone Festival in Illinois where I saw the highlight of the summer. I happened to chance upon a performance by The La De Les. It was simply incredible. This ambient, shoe gaze, experimental band sounds like no other. Teh La De Les offer up a musical style that is uniquely their own.

We spend an hour with The La De Les in both music and conversation as we discover the details of this amazing band.

The Antidote - Show 46 - Year 2 !

The Antidote has had a birthday! Yes, this the second year of The Antidote where we play "Christian music that doesn't suck", dispelling the myth that Christian music is second-rate. The Antidote endeavours to display the artistry of Christian musicians. Followers of this blog are well aware that I spent most of my free time and holidays this summer attending Christian music festivals such as Cornerstone and Soulfest. I was also able to visit a number of clubs where Christian bands performed.

The first show of the fall season is a celebration of the diversity of Christian rock. Once again we cover the breadth of styles that The Antidote is noted for airing. Punk, hardcore, ambient rock, alternative rock, and shoegaze are all included. Listen up and enjoy the mix!

The Antidote - Show 41 - Squad Five-O / Cornerstone Eulogy

The final Cornerstone festival was quite and experience and I'm glad that I had a chance to experience it. This episode of The Antidote pays tribute to the Cornerstone festival and airs songs by a number of the artist who performed there.

A big treat with attending Cornerstone was the chance to speak with John and Jeff of Squad Five-O.  This great ska/punk/rock band came back to perform at Cornerstone. Listen in to the show and the interview with Squad Five-O.
