Rewind Recap Finale hi-lights 12 guests on the show performing live renditions of songs they recorded in the â€˜80s and â€˜90s Christian music scene. It is difficult to choose material from 79 episodes and over 40 artists in a 1-hour recap episode, but here is the line-up: Michael Knott, Freedom of Soul, Deliverance, Jon Gibson, Bloodgood, Altar Boys, Recon, EDL, 12th Tribe, SFC, Preachas In Disguise and Lanny Cordola. Original host, Brian Healy (founder of Dead Artist Syndrome), proposed the show to Adel Meisenheimer (whose company owns and manages Frontline Records catalog and others) and deemed her â€œExecutive Producerâ€. His radio voice and DJ experience created a fun, some-what professional, experience as he presented playlists introducing or reminding listeners about music of artists in mixed genres. Due to health issues, Healy could not continue. But in Episode 32, Les Carlsen (lead singer of Bloodgood) was a guest host and then agreed to full-time, launching his â€œreality TVâ€ style, getting together with artists in an interview/music format. Friendships were made and bonds created between Rewind crew and artists. Listeners were treated to stories from musical and spiritual journeys, live performances, commentary for musical works and updates on current activity from the Frontline family. It is bittersweet to announce the Finale of Frontline Records Rewind and our hope is that many benefited. Episodes can be enjoyed for generations on FrontlineRecords, YouTube and iTunes. Thanks for your support! Scottyâ€¦ call the limo. Weâ€™re outta here!

Listeners hear a humorous story about the time Howard McCrary came to work on their track, â€œTo Save Youâ€, which happened to use a song in the intro that he wrote for Gospel great, Shirley Caesar. Jody, who passed away in 2006, truly looked forward to heaven and many of her songs reflect it, including those on two albums released after Frontline Records: Well In The Wilderness and Saints In The Light. Scott Frankfurt Studio in Los Angeles provides an exquisite recording environment. Scottâ€™s experience, skill and humility has attracted many notable, famous musicians and artists, too numerous to name here. Sergio Mendes was there the day before Scott opened his door and heart to the Rewind crew. The Studio is no longer private and he will work with those who are â€œdoing it for the right reasonsâ€. Listeners will learn more about the reasons that motivated the music of this artist couple.

Friday, February 9, 2018 • Duration 58:50

Featuring songs from Moment of Clarity, Disgruntled, produced by Lanny Cordola, and American Standard, Produced by Mike Knott, Engineered by Gene Eugene. – In Frontline Records Rewind Episode 77, host Les Carlsen continues his conversation with rapcore group, Every Day Life (EDL), during a reunion rehearsal, 15 years after their last album. Listeners are treated to a couple live performances from that gathering and more of the juicy details behind some of their most controversial songs. Members Tedd Cookerly, Carl Weaver, Eric Wilkins and Jim Rupe share insights, but lead singer, Cookerly, is particularly transparent. He calls himself â€œa kid on welfareâ€, claims â€œeverybody tolerates Teddâ€ and explains how EDL used their music as a voice for people who were searching for a commonality. Songs they wrote expressed empathy for victims of church vanity, rape, those who were belittled and youth who suffered from depression. Songs discussed in the episode were recorded on â€œAmerican Standardâ€ (Frontline) and â€œMoment of Clarityâ€ (KMG). Teddâ€™s colorful narration includes a story of how Allan Aguirre (Scatered Few) prevented him from punching the lead singer of a Christian band during a concert. Another time he threatened to punch the nose of a Focus On The Family article writer. (Tedd often went looking for fights with those he believed disrespected friends and other Christian music pioneers.) Listeners will want to hear all the tales. Tedd even explains where babies come from!

The show opens with a live 2016 rehearsal performance that will convince listeners EDL still has their chops! Tedd Cookerly, Carl Weaver, Eric Wilkins and Jim Rupe explain the thrill and fright of creating something new and the challenges of recording their improvisational, impromptu style. Lanny Cordola, producer of first Frontline album, â€œDisgruntledâ€, made it â€œshinierâ€ than the group envisioned. Mike Knott produced, and Gene Eugene engineered, second release, â€œAmerican Standardâ€, named for the toilet manufacturer, which continued their raw social criticism. Cookerly admits some lyrics included swear words, which didnâ€™t seem to bother the record label, but many Christian bookstores were ruffled by lyric and controversial content, pulling CDs from the shelves. Ironically, EDLâ€™s song, â€œSalt Circles,â€ was nominated for a â€œHard Musicâ€ Dove Award in 1999. This conversation and reunion performance is rare and exclusive, something you donâ€™t hear every day.

The episode closes with an emotional solo piano version of â€œOnce More (For The Band)â€ off TAME THE VOLCANO, which was Stephenâ€™s farewell song, a gift to the group, even before the decision to stop performing was final.

REWIND 73: Crumbacher original members tell us how they got signed, recorded their epic harmonies, loaded up their many many keyboards, and hit the road in their unreliable little bus.

Friday, October 13, 2017 • Duration 58:18

Part 1 features music from Incandescent, Escape From The Fallen Planet, and Thunder Beach. – In Frontline Records Rewind Episode 73, host Les Carlsen gets together with Crumbacher members Stephen Crumbacher, Dawn Wisner Johnson and Jimmy Wisner, and into their "party in a box"Â pop-dance style. Stephen talks about breaks he got in the early 1980's when he submitted a demo tape to Maranatha! Music, which lead to a track on MRC and Broken Records compilations, which lead to their 3 albums released on Frontline Records: Escape From The Fallen Planet, Thunder Beach and Tame The Volcano. The group's multi-keyboard style was attractive to Ojo Taylor of Undercover, who produced the first tracks. They also surprised Ojo when all three members gathered around a studio microphone and belted out their epic harmonies. In this episode, listeners are treated to an acappella intro of "Interstellar Satellite". Stephen wrote Crumbacher's deep lyrics, with Biblical foundation. In fact, he provided scripture references supporting each song, which is why their music is timeless. The three original members are kind of timeless too, attending the same High School in Southern California and their families are still close today. Listeners get to experience the harmony of their relationship and vocals in this rare interview.
