HM Magazine Celebrates 25 Years Of Hard Music News
(7/17/2010)25th Anniversary Issue Links The Work of Dedicated Musicians Through a List of HM's "Top 100 Christian Rock Albums of All Time"
25 years ago, Doug Van Pelt transformed newsstands by providing news and insights to heavy metal fans through a new magazine, aptly titled Heaven's Metal. Van Pelt, founder and editor, was a junior attending the University of Texas when he created the magazine in 1985. During this time, Christian hard rock bands such as Stryper, DeGarmo and Key and Kings X were influencing both the Christian and the general music industry as whole, which quickly pushed Van Pelt to dedicate his efforts on the magazine full-time.
After Heaven's Metal 10th anniversary, Van Pelt decided to focus on the current trends in music thus calling the magazine, HM. The name change acted as a banner for the broader spectrum of music they began to cover. HM's prior focus on heavy metal shifted to a wide array of genres from hardcore to indie rock to punk. While HM included a large span of genres, hard rock bands such as P.O.D., MxPx, Impending Doom, and Flyleaf continued to grace the cover. As culture shifted, so did HM and with that, they have become the gateway for musicians to express themselves.
Van Pelt's most popular feature in HM, "What So & So Says," is a segment in which bands such as The Used, Thrice and Korn have shared their views on Christianity and related topics. HM also provides readers with spotlights on upcoming artists, album reviews, trending topics, and in depth music news.
For their 25th anniversary, HM created a list to showcase the "Top 100 Christian Rock Albums of All Time," with U2's seminal album The Joshua Tree holding the number 1 position.
The much-awaited list is compiled of albums from the likes of bands such as Dashboard Confessional, Underoath, Skillet, P.O.D., Stryper and MUTEMATH. Van Pelt introduced the list as a category of recognition. HM rocked out their latest issue with additional stories on Impending Doom and Haste the Day's latest albums. Throughout Van Pelt's career he has not only worked with HM, but has made a name for himself through many avenues in the industry. Van Pelt has been profiled in Alternative Press magazine, written a top 10 Christian metal albums list for Revolver and penned long-standing columns for Guitar World and CCM Magazine.
"It has been a dream come true to see HM grow throughout the years," states Van Pelt. "It's been such a blessing and privilege to have spent the last 25 years working to promote bands and people that I respect. To do something you love for this long is an honor, and we are looking forward to see what the next 25 years holds for HM, and music as a whole."
HM is sold in all fifty states and is distributed in Barnes & Noble, Hastings, and Family Christian Stores. Subscribers for HM come from all over the world and represent around 20 countries, including Iceland, Papua New Guinea, Czech Republic and Cypress. HM Magazine was recently awarded a Telly Award for its HM/Gwar Internet commercial campaign (developed and filmed by the makers of the Owl City "Fireflies" video – Endeavor Media).

-- About.com
"Along comes Rain's A Comin', an intense, melodic and powerful collection of songs that sees the Hostetters leaping forward creatively. The supercharged anthems call to mind the SoCal punk scene as represented by Green Day and Blink-182, but tempered with the mature attack of Jawbreaker."
-- Alternative Press, 3.5 stars
"Children 18:3 sound completely different than any bands on the label, sticking true to their own rock 'n roll sound."
--AbsolutePunk.net

"Rain's A' Comin' is one of the best rock albums you're going to hear this Summer, if not this year. And Children 18:3 just confirm that their stellar debut was no fluke. They're a force to be reckoned with."
-- JesusFreakHideout.com, 4.5 stars
About Children 18:3:
The trio of siblings on Tooth & Nail Records hails from a rural farming community in Minnesota where the three siblings developed their undeniable glam-rock sound. Children 18:3 is comprised of siblings David (lead vocals, songwriter, guitar), Seth (drums) and Lee Marie (bass, vocals). The combination of male and female vocals along with their unmatched determination is a throw back to the beginnings of Tooth & Nail punk and rock n' roll. The sophomore release excels in highs and will leave you feeling inspired to make a difference, to make a lasting change in your world. Known for their over-the-top glam/punk imaging and devastating live show, Children 18:3 have demonstrated here that they have the sand for a run at a larger audience. Over the past two years, they have toured with such industry heavyweights as Brian Head Welch, Project 86, The Classic Crime, Norma Jean, and Haste The Day.

Runaway City - A Refuge For The Weary
(7/6/2010)Long before the social networking revolution, there was a sizable chasm between rock stars and their adoring fans.
While Twitter and Facebook have certainly helped bridged the gap, North Carolina rockers Runaway City are hoping to completely knock it down by simply being real with their listeners.
"At the end of the day, we want people to realize that we are real people," drummer Chris Burrow says. "Even though we're up on a stage, we go through struggles just like everyone else. By being authentic, we can truly connect with people. We don't try to put ourselves above anyone else, and when we talk to our fans after a show, we want that to be apparent."
For lead singer Josh Edwards, lead guitarist Jace Bowman, guitarist Tyler Ricketts, and Chris, the relationships they build while playing their encouraging, hope-fueled rock songs is what they inevitably consider the heartbeat of their ministry.
"God wants us to come to Him just as we are, so why should we put on airs when playing our songs?" Tyler says. "We don't have to 'perform' to be in His good graces, and we don't want to pretend like we've always got it together when we struggle as much as the next person."
Friends since college, music has always played an integral role in the lives of Runaway City. After leading worship at their respective youth groups, the band was born out of a deep friendship and desire to encourage people through the universal, barrier-breaking medium of music.
"As a band, we want people to find refuge in our songs, even if it's just for three minutes," Chris shares. "We want to be that safe haven for people, and that's what actually inspired our name. In the Old Testament, if someone committed a major crime like murder or theft, they had to flee to a safe place until they could have a fair trial. And that's what Runaway City is, an oasis from life's complications and troubles."
Influenced by the likes of Switchfoot, Daughtry, Needtobreathe, Safety Suit, U2 and Three Doors Down, Runaway City serves up a timely message with a sense of urgency. Filled with driving guitars, confessional lyrics and impassioned vocal delivery, Runaway City's debut Armored Heart is creative yet completely accessible with songs like "Fade," the band's first single, that immediately gets to the heart of the matter.
"'Fade' is basically a love song written to someone who is dealing with hardship and who feels like he or she is struggling alone," Tyler explains. "It's a musical snapshot of Christ's love for us and an important reminder that no matter what we're going through, God's redeeming love will never fade."
Also written when a friend was going through a troubling season of life, "Daybreak" is a gentle plea for the wandering soul. "Once again, it's a metaphor for God always being there and gently guiding us back to the place we need to be," Tyler elaborates. "Even when our lives seem dark, He's the beacon of Hope and Light bringing us home."
Providing a relatable snapshot of grace in a culture that's largely performance-driven, "Scars" is also a meaningful dialogue about how the mistakes we make don't define us.
"Yes, there's a point of accountability where we must admit—and ask forgiveness for the sin in our lives," Chris says. "But once we've done that, it's important to know that the pain associated with those mistakes will fade in time. And I think that's a message that everyone, whether you're five or 50, needs to hear."
In the increasingly complicated, often-cynical world we live in, there's a reason why positively charged lyrics are a refuge for a wide, diverse demographic. And that's because everyone loves a compelling, heart-tugging song that deeply resonates on an emotional level—the very music that newcomers Runaway City are committed to making.
