Carman Bashing & Monster Mashing

Whether you love him or loathe him, call him a favorite or a fanatic, there's no denying there's something about this man called Carman. We went in search of the man behind the myth and challenged the R.I.O.T.-eous dude to a word-duel with some tough questions and of course, some fun stuff, too. We were surprised to find the guy that's scaring monsters out from under your bed can be a cream-puff too, especially when it comes to taking all the flak he inevitably gets. See for yourself...


Features


Gimme Shelter

With chart-topping songs and Grammy and Dove Award nominations, singer/songwriter/producer/musician/and all-around goofball Gary Chapman has established himself as one of Christian music's busiest and most diverse talents. But listening to his latest album, Shelter, it's obvious that his role at home as husband and father is truly where his heart is.

Upside Down And Inside Out

A year filled with personal challenges and personnel and record label changes might have caused a coronary in other bands, but Whiteheart is back and beating stronger than ever. Even the hardest heart would have to agree that these contemporary Christian music veterans just might have reached their creative pinnacle with Inside.

Field Day

After 15 years as one of Christian music's most respected vocalists, Wayne Watson has found peace of mind about the calling on his life. And while his music is definitely moving forward he's going back to basics. Wayne reflects on the past year spent working on Field Of Souls and explains how he found God's grace and mercy in the midst of it all.
