Look What Day It Is

Whoa. Where has this summer run off to? (Honestly, I have been complaining about the record-breaking heat for a month and a half, so fall is more than welcome to get here and stay… if you ask me.)

ANYWAY… I just looked at my calendar.

Disciple calendar 447x336

It’s September 9.

Do you know what that means? That means you only have 4 more days to pre-order Disciple’s new album “Horseshoes & Handgrenades” and get SEVEN unreleased bonus tracks. That’s practically an extra album!!

If you’re like me, you like to hear most of an album before you buy it. I get it. Luckily, our friends over at GodTube are streaming the ENTIRE “Horseshoes & Handgrenades” album right now. For FREE. Listen. Like it. Buy it. (And, you’ll love it. I have been listening to it for days now – it’s currently on repeat here at my desk.)

If you don’t like my opinion, I have two things to say:

  1. Shame on you. (Just kidding… kinda).
  2. Listen to what some of our readers have to say about the album:

Throughout the album, two things in particular become especially clear: First, that Disciple continues to be focused solely on Christ. Something meaningful can be taken from each and every song on the record, and it’s clear that the hearts of each of the five members of the band are in the right place. Secondly, Disciple continues to rock just as hard as they always have. The crunching guitars are the perfect compliment to Young’s soaring vocals, and the album sounds superb throughout. If you’re looking for a hard rocking album that is just as solid spiritually as it is musically, than Disciple’s Horseshoes and Hand Grenades is definitely for you.  – Daniel W.

Simply amazing. Disciple’s latest offering combines the heavy style they used to be known for (Back Again) with the southern stylings fans enjoyed (Southern Hospitality) while throwing in lots of melody (Scars Remain, Self Titled) for good measure. The result, however, doesn’t sound like Disciple just took stuff they’ve done and recycled it. This album is unique, both to Disciple, and Hard Rock.                                              – Kevin L.

So, there you have it. Go listen for yourself and then come on over back here and tell me what you think! Happy Thursday!

Sneak Peek Of The Week! Disciple

disciple-0066_sm_330x200

So, the other day I was sitting around thinking to myself…“Self- what are some other ways you can share new music with these guys on FreeCCM.com besides JUST giving away totally awesome free downloads and doing really, really ridiculously good-looking contests? There has to be more than just this!” The wheels in my head were turning (faster than normal) as I listened to Disciple’s awesome new record (which hits stores on Sept. 14th) and I actually came up with what I think could be a good idea….

Here at FreeCCM.com we sometimes get to hear some great new albums way before they’re actually scheduled to release, and I thought it might be cool to sneak you some clips of the songs so you can share in the love too. Of course, you can be honest and tell me if you don’t like the idea, but I at least thought it sounded good. :) That said, I’m going to kick this off with the very album I’ve got spinning in my player right now (ok, I’m really just listening to it in my iTunes, but a disc spinning in the player sounds cooler).

As I said before, Disciple’s new record releases on 9/14, but you can actually download the entire album now on their site if you pre-buy. If you haven’t decided to get it yet, what’s a better way to make that decision than to actually get to listen to some of the tracks right now? Today we’ve got a sneak peak at 3 rockin’ songs from the album “Horseshoes And Handgrenades.” We’ll be revealing new songs over the coming weeks leading up to the album release, so definitely check back for more! We’ve been getting some great album reviews from some of you who already got the record, and we’re going to be featuring some of those this month as well so stay tuned! Thanks to everyone for your submissions!

Here are the first 3 tracks off of the album “Horseshoes And Handgrenades”

Running.

disciple-0096_330x200

I love to run. It’s such a good way to relieve stress and clear my head.

I have a confession to make, though… I have been a TOTAL slacker because it has been so hot and because I haven’t really felt like listening to any of the music on my running playlist.

UNTIL NOW. I have channeled my inner-hard-rock-loving-self and it’s been GREAT as my running-in-miserable-heat-motivation.

What is it, you ask?

The NEW single from DISCIPLE. It’s called “Dear X, You Don’t Own Me” and seriously, it’s already my all time favorite Disciple song. I spent some time with the Disciple guys yesterday and heard the WHOLE NEW ALBUM that will be in stores on September 14. I wish that I could let you all listen to it right this second. MARK your calendars. You need this album. It’s AMAZING. It will change your life. (Or, at least your exercise routine… and it will make car rides fun again.)

The good news: “Dear X, You Don’t Own Me” is AVAILABLE on itunes TODAY! It will be the best $0.99 you have EVER spent. So – Go. Get. It. Now!!!

AND – if you already have it – tell me what you think here and I may just pick a winner and give something away. It will be a surprise. Ready, Set… Go.
