Online Christian Music Explosion

(Filed under: Music)

The world's largest Christian music company has released more than 300 Christian albums to be available for download at popular services like iTunes. The catalog of music goes all the way back to 1983 and includes artists like Audio Adrenaline, Newsboys, Rebecca St. James and my personal favorite, Petra.

This means you can now download many of the songs I listened to an somehow loved when I was in high school, including Degarmo & Key's "Boycott Hell" (all song links go to iTunes because that's what I use, and well, you gotta love it) and Petra's--where do even I start? How about "He Came, He Saw, He Conquered"? Or "Somebody's Gonna Praise His Name"? I should point out that those songs were released long before I was in high school. Back then my musical tastes were in left field.

Some other quality tracks that aren't so far out there include Chasing Furies' "Thicker," Audio Adrenaline's live version of "Happy and You Know It," and the Untitled Studio Rough cut from the Newsboys' Entertaining Angels EP (which went on to become "Truth Be Known--Everybody Gets a Shot", but the rough cut lacks vocals and makes for a great backing track.) See the complete list of music now available.
