Boogie Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I'm looking for some Christian bands. The genre really doesn't matter as long as it sounds good and has some meaningful lyrics. I'm mainly looking for a band that uses lyrics based on Christian belief. But if the lyrics are only influenced from Christian belief, that's fine. Also, bands with singers that actually have good vocals. If you can also recommend some songs to go with the band, that would be cool. Please only post if you have a recommendation or a kind comment. Thanks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifull Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 The issue with a lot of Christian rock bands is that the music is generally really good, but they force the religeon into the lyrics which makes the actual words and singing very poor. shame.

I have heard some amazing Christian bands, getitng the meaning into the song yet retaining the 'word of christ' as it were. But most of the time its just done really badly.

I'd have to agree with you there, but there's a few exceptions. Boogie, Shane & Shane (or Shane Bernard)... it's softer accoustic stuff, but the lyrics fit perfectly, and they're incredibly meaningful, and their voices are incredible. http://www.shanebweb.com , they're got audio examples for every song, though I think you need realplayer (they're .ram :-\). Or their official site here Also Copeland is a sweet band (they're Christians), though their lyrics are secular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I've never given Christian music a chance since I'm not religious, but there are quite a few bands out there that do more of story telling with their songs instead of saying "pray to god or you'll go to hell." Check out my favorite lyrics posted in that topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyPurpleCrayon Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Five Iron Frenzy is an awesome christian Ska band. Relient K is more popsy alternative...but still good if you are into that.

Astralinre Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 As a Christian, I'd have to agree with Merc that alot of Christian bands don't do a very good job. They focus more on making "Christian music" than making good music that glorifies Christ. But there are a few really good Christian bands and singers out there- Phillips, Craig, and Dean MercyMe Chris Rice is also one of my favorites, but most people I know aren't big fans of him. Todd Agnew isn't too bad either. I can't think of any more off the top of my head, since I listen mostly to country western, but there's plenty of good, God-honoring music out there if you know where to look. :) "In so far as I am Man I am the chief of creatures.

Thanks guys for all these recommendations! And I am looking for bands that have Christian lyrics in it but I think Mercifull was saying those band aren't very good?
