Repaving Tenth Avenue North
When Tenth Avenue North played their final show in 2020, it felt like the closing of a beloved chapter in contemporary Christian music. After two decades of writing, touring, and transforming hearts with worshipful storytelling, it was hard to imagine the band without the familiar faces we’d grown to love. But as we’ve learned time and again, it’s the music and the message that matters. Now, in 2025, Tenth Avenue North is officially back.

Relient K Turns 25
“A song about Marilyn Manson will never, ever be on a CD put out by Gotee Records. Period!” – Toby Mac Those words—delivered with tongue firmly in cheek—slam the brakes at the end of Relient K’s first track on their self-titled debut. It was bold. It was bizarre. It was punk rock with a youth group twist. But how did a group of teens go from basement demos to making TobyMac laugh out loud and land a record deal with Gotee? Let’s rewind.
