Hey, punks! How's it going? Yeah, punks! That's what I called you. Now, depending on who you are, you may not find punks to be a derogatory term.

Like many insults, the term punks became embraced, hence the punk rock movements, now a very positively associated term for many of us, and even Christian punks.

Even Christian punks music like Tooth and Nail Records, like MXPX, like all those bands, we're going to talk about them today, and we're going to talk about them with the founder and owner of Tooth and Nail Records, Brandon Ebel, who has done a lot, anyway you look at it, for the punk rock movement.

Now, when you're in a band, one of the most special days and weeks is release week, is when you have a new album that comes out, everybody can get it, the reviews are out, you get your first week numbers, it's very exciting.

And it only happens a few times, we've even emeryed, we've been in for 10 years, and we've only released a few records, we've only had a few days and weeks that were release weeks, but now with BC Music, we get to be a part of other bands releases as well.

It's a tremendous feeling, today is the release day for King's Collitis Scopes, first fulling LP, and we get to be part of that along with Tooth and Nail, that's a big deal.

Also, the classic crime's new album on BC Music is out today as well, so we've been working really hard on both of these to get to this point.

And the marketing has been advertising, we've been doing artwork, we've been trying to do publicity, and everything we can do to get this music out to other people and celebrate it and partner with those bands.

It's a thrill, thank you guys for supporting me, if you've pre-ordered already, awesome, if you've supported a crowd fund, that's great.

But if not, it's just two albums, I don't think that's too much for you to go pick up first week, maybe you're the kind of person who buys one record a week, well this week, buy two.

Get the King's Collitis Scope record, get the classic crime record, you can get them at our website, badChristian.com, and you can get them pretty much wherever it is that you buy your music.

And now you get to listen to me, and a pastor, and a Christian music label owner, and a worship leader talk for an hour and a half.

Yeah, that does sound frightfully boring, but let's try it anyway.

Yeah, I think I'm ready.

Three.
