Christian Music and Bands

^I wish we had something like this in Australia

I really love underOATH.
as well as Aaron Gillespie's side band, The Almost.

Ah, I love The Almost.

I also really love Tenth Avenue North. They're young and hilarious, and their music is incredibly touching and modern. I adore those guys.

I had no idea that Underoath and The Almost were christian bands until recently. :-O They're really awesome to hear; I also like Red. They're kind of different.

The Great Defector.:

I heard My Heart is a song praising God but I could be wrong. Anyone know?

I think a lot of songs could be about God if you (the listener, I mean) want them to be. Lyrics are very subjective and mean different things to different people. "My Heart" is one of the few Paramore songs I like and I never once considered it to be about God.

I completely agree, it's just I heard that the song was actually written in praise of God.

i have heard of both of them but i havent heard any of there music. I love Red. they were the first christian band i'd ever really liked. but i love lots of different music but i hardly know any good Christian ones i hope i can find good ones form this post :)

I think that now there are a lot of bands that are Christian, without necessarily making Christian music.

i. e., Family Force 5 is openly Christian, but don't necessarily have messages in their songs.
Well, some songs. But you get the idea.
Same deal with The Rocket Summer… and a million others I can't name off the top of my head.

Whereas Skillet, for example, has a lot of messages about God in the songs.

Know what I mean?

I think it just matters on your frame of mind and how hard you think about the lryics. It really varies frome person to person. Personally, I can find Christiam meaning in almost every FF5 song. And my friend's mom thinks Switchfoot does not have any christianity in their songs, while I think that all of their songs have obvious Christian meanings.

And my favorite Christian bands are FF5, The Devil Wears Prada, Underoath, Switchfoot, Fireflight, Blessthefall, and Hail Your Highness.

Recently in an interview I read with Anberlin, they pointed out that the band itself is not christian, but the people in it are. I have seen this is true with most bands, even ones that are on tooth & nail records, previously known as a "christian" label.

Same goes for Flyleaf, whom I love.

I love Christian music.
Lecrae, Alive Through Love, Norma Jean & The Myriad are my favorites.

The members of Good Charlotte are all Christian...but they're not a Christian band.

Yeah, this goes along with what I was saying a couple posts up :cute:

-It kind of bothers me when people automatically assume that a band is Christian simply because a member says he or she believes in Christianity.

my favorite song is everything by lifehouse. The video is absolutely amazing, take a look.

I've always loved Underoath and Flyleaf. <3

It doesn't really matter to me, if they're Christian or religious or not. I'm in it for the music.

I love Underoath;;

how could I have forgotten Switchfoot?! *hits head on table*

I love Switchfoot

I really love The Almost. If you see them live, it's like one youth group meeting. Aaron leads a prayer, he talks about hardships, and he reminds you Jesus loves you. Then they play their set with total passion. Truly an amazing experience.
