Top 100 Tooth & Nail Albums of All Time



In 1993, a young music lover named Brandon Ebel took a loan from his grandfather and started a record label for fans of alternative music. That label, Tooth & Nail Records, is now 25 years old and has released close to a thousand albums between all of its imprints, many of which are well-regarded in their genre, both in Christian and mainstream markets.

As fans of the label, we here at Jesusfreakhideout.com wanted to commemorate T&N's 25th anniversary by coming up with a list of our top 100 Tooth & Nail Records albums, including [almost] all of its imprints: Tooth & Nail, BEC, Solid State, Uprok, and Gospel Song. We did consider Plastiq Musiq as well, but none of those albums made the list. (Note: this list also does not contain any reissues, live albums, greatest hits, or deluxe editions)

We'll be releasing this list in increments over the next ten weeks, ten entries at a time (you know, for intrigue and whatnot!). Please keep in mind that this list is probably not your ideal list. It's also not a list that any one person came up with, but rather is a collaborative list created by several members of Jesusfreakhideout and some friends of ours, all of whom have different personal favorite albums and different tastes.

Before we start, we would like to take the opportunity to thank our friends that helped with this project: Brandon Jones and Noah Hardwick of Indie Vision Music, Joshua Clifton, Kalen Orr, and Dane Johns of the band Ravenhill and Honey Gold Records, Russ T. Shipp of the band Rusty Shipp, Levi Macallister, aka Levi the Poet, Matty Mullins and Kellen McGregor of the band Memphis May Fire, Leanor Till of the bands Five Iron Frenzy and The Fast Feeling, Micah Kuiper of the band Hawk Nelson, Danny Pelletier of the band Not Beneath, Jared Barbosa of the band Southlen, David Josiah Curtis, Josh Taylor of Blimey Cow, Davy Baysinger of the band Bleach, Gabriel Jones of The Decent Christian Talk Podcast, Josh Niemyjski of Illect Recordings (and formerly of Uprok Records), and Ross Worthey of the band A Red Arrow and the podcast The Blood Orange Project.

Thanks so much these fine folks for helping with this project! And don't forget to sound off in the comments and tell us which Tooth & Nail albums are your favorites!
