Vol. 20 - Only Visiting This Planet by Larry Norman

Church Jams Now! ·

2022/08/24

Get ready to deep dive into Larry Norman's 1972 album 'Only Visiting This Planet' with the CJN Crew. When Josh first suggested this album we were all kind of leery of it, but boy is it 100% worth it. From inspiring one of the greatest alt rock bands of the 80's to being an early adopter of punk music, Larry Norman was the godfather of "Christian" music and well worth a deep dive. Tuck in your polyester shirt, make sure your bell bottoms are starched, and join us in Vol. 20 of Church Jams Now!Join us

Church Jams Now! ·

2022/06/02

The CJN Crew goes back in time a little further than usual with the 1986 heavy metal album To Hell With The Devil by Styper. We couldn't think of a better guest than music critic and metalhead Aaron Cooper from The Crushed Monocle Podcast. We talk metal in general, the goofiness of metal lyrics, sweet guitar solos, and Kylan may have been going through something and taking it out on a member of Stryper. Language Content Warning: Kylan goes a little off the rails!

Apparently a sauna isn’t the most ideal recording space.*)Have you ever wondered what bearded barley is? Are you familiar with the (wonderfully obscure) melodica?

2021/01/07

Hey Jammers! Kylan and TJ are in rare form on this third volume, in which they consider Our Newest Album Ever!, by upbeat, slap-happy ska machine: Five Iron Frenzy. Should you pick it up, pick it up, pick it up? Or should this album remain hidden away in the history books of the mid-90s ska-naissance (or the brain of an overly caffeinated middle-schooler)? Is “Oh, Canada” racist? Does this album contain any sweet, sweet bass? Grab your trumpet, and get on this skawesome ride, as we nerd out about
