This acquisition enables http://www.catholiccompany.com to expand its music selection while appealing to more a more youthful audience. The world of Catholic music has become more diverse in recent years and now includes genres of hip-hop, rap, rock, pop and R& B.

Nicholas Cole, founder of Catholic Tuneage and concerned parent, admits “Radio these days is scary. The lyrics are very crude and I can imagine that parents are embarrassed by the music kids are listening to. If your children are into rap music, there are wholesome Catholic rappers like Righteous B or Point 5 Covenant. For rock music with a better message you can try Backyard Galaxy, Cheer Up Charlie, or Matt Maher.” The Catholic Company’s music collection also includes worship music, children’s music, contemporary music, Christmas music, comedy, and other genres.
