Indie Vision Music was founded on July 4th 2000 with the intent to share positive, uplifting, and hopeful music of substance with a global audience. What started with humble beginnings as a simple self-run webstore, blossomed into a label and a webzine in 2005 which has been going strong ever since. In 2017, the label began again with the signing of bands like Light The Way, At The Wayside, Mainframe, Must Build Jacuzzi, The Prettybads, Names Without Numbers, and Grandpa Loves Rhinos.

This fall marks the end of the IVM Record Label with the shifting of focus back to what made Indie Vision Music great – An independent site built around community and faith-based music exposure. While there won’t be a label, Indie Vision Music will certainly not fade away. Big plans are in store for running the site on into the future.

“It just became too overwhelming on a personal level to run a label, a site, work full time outside of music, taking care of a family of 5, etc. This site and label has always been run by one person, me, and I can’t help but feel a great deal of stress trying to manage it all. I took DIY to a whole other level literally. One guy can only do so much. So, with that said, I hope you enjoy the website for the foreseeable future and that you’ll continue to support these awesome bands. It has been a total pleasure working with such talented individuals and releasing albums I truly care about – Brandon Jones/IVM”

You can find all 3 “Family & Friends Samplers” on iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify, Tidal, Bandcamp, and more.

(record review)COLUMBUS-“A hot take on heartbreak”

Summer is on, the best season of the year is on, and how better to accompany the barbecue party on a sunny day than with the new, second studio album by Australian trio Columbus.

cover

This Brisbane, Australia trio just released their brand new studio effort which contains 10 songs of nice melodic punkrock, almost pop punk with a slight touch of indie rock. Don´t let that scare you when you see pop punk added to these guys band name. Quite the contrary, the set of songs on this album provided by this band is just awesome as a soundtrack for daydreaming on a hot, summer day and riding on your bike or just having a lazy beer in someone´s backyard. The songs are not fast, they are punkrock mid tempo but I personally love “Care at all” having a nice harmonic chorus. “Give up” is also one of my personal favorites on this record. This is a feelgood record. I couldn´t listen to is every day, that´s true, but I loved it today!
