On Friday July 2, 2021, Colin Cruz (pictured here with Sarah Anthony and Mark Anthony) of The Letter Black, airs part 3 of his interview with this band. It will be on TheBlast.FM in the 9 AM and 10 AM hours (USA/Canada Central Time).
If you missed the first several segments of the interview, those are archived on TheBlast.FM MeWe page: https://mewe.com/p/theblastfm
Angel Machine’s Wayde and April Seraph performing the song Repent at Kingdom Come Festival 2021. Here is the video of them performing that song: https://business.facebook.com/TheBlastFM/videos/3009077236079764/
Behold The Beloved rocked the main stage Saturday afternoon at this year’s Kingdom Come Festival. And no, Disciple’s Kevin Young did not venture out early in the day of their set to join in the collaboration they recorded. That would have been too much strain on Young’s voice, with all the screaming, yelling, singing and preaching Kevin does during Disciple’s 14-song sets. But it was a good BTB show, nonetheless.
Here is a video of the first song of the set:

Red and their new drummer Brian Medeiros played a sold out show in Dallas last night…their first concert since the pandemic. Here is the band posing with the fans at the show.
The Letter Black was the headliner Friday night at Kingdom Come Fest near Greentown, Indiana. We have the video of them performing Rise here: https://fb.watch/v/1dJudYn2o/
The Blast’s Colin Cruz talks to Sarah and Mark Anthony from The Letter Black on Wednesday June 30, 2021. Time: TBA (sometime between 9 am and 3 pm USA/Canada Central Time).
Relent rocked the humans at the Kingdom Come Festival Friday afternoon. It was a high energy, sweaty set that was a lot of fun. We shot a video of the opening of their set, here: https://fb.watch/v/uPgxBfiu/
Band interviews and a lot more coverage commence this week and will last for weeks on air on TheBlast.FM radio stations and on our websites.
Tuesday, a look back at the conversation Colin Cruz had with John Cooper of Skillet, talking about when Cooper met one of his favorite childhood rock stars. And it was that rock star that wanted to meet Cooper. Tuesday, June 8, 2021 at 1 pm USA/Canada Central Time.
Kingdom Come Festival (Friday and Saturday, June 18th and 19th), 2021 is like two festivals in one, as (at least for now), KCF has absorbed the Capstone Music Festival and encapsulated into a side stage at the Kingdom Come Festival. (See what we did there?) (Previously, it was two separate Christian rock festivals in Indiana, spaced two hours and a week apart). The two fest are friendly with each other and working together as the body of Christ.
Well, this year…
KCF sees the the return of Disciple as a headliner and The Letter Black headlines as well.
Other Blast bands on the main stage include: The Protest, Chaotic Resemblance, Awaken, Behold The Beloved, Relent, Amongst The Giants, Attaboy, Zahna, We Are Vessel, and TJ Harris of Decyfer Down.
And on the Capstone Music stage: Gold Frankincense and Myrrh, Grave Robber, The Persuaded, Theody and Firebrand.
The festival was a lot of fun last year and TheBlast.FM will be back again this year. Stop by our Blastin’ booth and meet us, get some free glossy Blast Cards and stickers and buy a Blast t-shirt.
The festival is at the Howard County Vietnam Veterans Reunion Grounds near Greentown, Indiana.
The Blast’s Colin Cruz caught up with Brian “Head” Welch, lead singer of Christian hard rock band Love And Death, earlier this month, and the interview will air tomorrow/Tuesday during Colin’s show, in the 2 PM hour, USA/Canada Central Time.
Welch was addicted to alcohol and/or drugs from the ages of 15 to 33 but he has been radically set free from addiction by the power of Jesus Christ! We’ll hear some of that testimony and hear about new music Love and Death.
Two huge bands that begin with “S” from two different eras will share the same stage soon:
Skillet…which began in the mid to late 1990’s and has never stopped rockin’…
And a resurgent 80’s band that lead singer John Cooper grew up listening to as part of his Christian metal album collection: Stryper.
Skillet will be headlining Friday night September 10th at the Rocktember Fest in Hinckley, Minnesota. Immediately preceding Skillet will be Stryper. The rest of the bands at the fest are secular hard rock.
The timing is a bit ironic. Cooper had recently been spotted in public by a casual music fan who said (paraphrasing) “You look familiar…aren’t you in that band…that Christian rock band…Stryper?”
Well, in case you have any trouble telling the bands apart (LOL) here is your chance to clearly differentiate between the two.
We’re not 100 percent sure, but at press time, we believe this is the first time these two bands have shared the same stage on the same night.
