Alive and Awake
Reviewed by David M. Pogge
We have good news and bad news. The bad news is this is not a new Mortal release. The good news is that the fine folks at Jesusfreak.com have put together a CD with oodles of fun for the whole family. For mom and dad there are the contemporary / middle of the road tunes of Miranda Stone, Nomadic Farmers, and Rolinson-Boyce-Stanley. For junior, there's all sorts of rocking tunes for him to share with all of his friends. The punk rock sounds of Delivery Boy and Nickel Plated Punk combined with Denison Marrs' cut of pure, unbridled emo core make this release a sure hit with any of the kids of today. For all of you hard rockin' older brothers, there are a few tracks on this just for you too. For ordering info, write: Jesus Freak, 400 Ford Rd #103, Minneapolis MN 55426-1010
