If you were a Christian teen in or around the year in 2000 Sharpied Chuck Taylors, asymmetrical haircut, an unreasonable number of bracelets, thrift store t-shirt then you probably need no introduction to bands like Underøath, Anberlin, Mae, Further Seems Forever, mewithoutYou and so on. You probably wore your first generation iPod’s battery down to the dregs playing
They’re Only Chasing Safety on repeat while reading Rob Bell, testing out the occasional cuss word in conversation with friends and maybe
maybe smoking a clove.
Well, good news. A
lot of your favorite acts from that era will be converging in Birmingham this September for Furnace Fest. This is, of course, pending some fairly significant gains on the COVID-19 pandemic, but that all seems at least somewhat possible and assuming it does happen we’ll all be off to learn how to start a fire all over again.

WATCH THE EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE OF 18TH & ADDISONâS NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR âBROKE DOWN IN BABYLONâ ONLY ON OUTBURN.COM
Eclectic pop rock duo 18th & Addison, composed of couple Tom and Kait Kunzman, joined forces with The Color Fred/ex-Taking Back Sundayâs Fred Mascherino to create their latest upbeat single and video âBroke Down in Babylon.â
âThis is the first time weâve ever collaborated with someone outside of one another and we couldnât be more proud of it or proud to have worked alongside Fred,â Kait said. âWe felt like this song was a perfect blend of electronic elements weâve been wanting to incorporate in our music for a while, all while sticking to our roots in pop rock. The fusion of the two worked really well and just felt right.â
