I have to agree with Zach here. Sure, some bands may replicate a punk sound, but they completely miss the ideology. What's rebellious about praising the lord?

I also find it funny that so many metal-core bands seem to be Christian.

Q. Is further seems forever a christian band?


A. Well everyone in FSF is a christian, but we don't call ourselves a christian band. We do this because we love it. It is not a ministry for us. Our faith is our relationship with GOD on an individual level, and if we feel led to share that we will.
This is also a career for us, and we don't feel comfortable taking money in the name of GOD. I am not saying it is wrong to do so for some more ministry oriented bands, but it is just not for us. We simply love to play music and love GOD.


QUIT SAYING FSF IS A CHRISTIAN BAND


and someone said from autumn to ashes is christian???

Thats great and all but I don't get why bands are so afraid of being labeled a Christian band. They can still be an amazing group but seem to have this fear of the name. I guess maybe its because people are immediatley turned off to bands that they find out are Christian or have Christian members. And people call Christians intolerant.

The reason bands don't like to be labeled "Christian" is because it does mean more than what the members are. The Christian community is protective of their groups and gets offended when they become popular to the secular community. A Christian band is one that makes music primarily about its faith. It's difficult to reconcile this imperative with any punk ideology.

I can understand why people are religious, it gives them a sense of purpose, a higher meaning, and that's fine and dandy.

But when people follow a faulty tenet blindly, without thinking, just because their religion tells them to (or they interpret it in such a way), that's when I get disgusted.

If people used religion solely as a justification for kindness or charity, then I wouldn't have a problem with it. But when it's used as "evidence" for bigotry and violence, it really makes me sick.

And there are few religions that are innocent of this. Buddhism (maybe?) and Taoism are the only ones that come to mind, but I could be wrong.

And someone said before that finding out that a band is christian turns them off of a group. I find myself thinking the same way, mostly because I don't like to think of their lyrics as being influenced by anything other than intense personal feeling. I remember seeing a quote from FSF (christian) that went something like "we believe in god, we don't sing about him"

Further evidence that we are twins, I agree with everything Colin just said. I think that people should be spiritual rather than religious. Spirituality is personal and completely genuine. Religion is communal and has to be taught to us. I am wary of bands that wear their Christianity on their sleeve. Have you ever heard some of those bands? They are clearly exploiting their religion to become popular with a very substantial community. And bands with Christian members are not "Christian" rock. The Beastie Boys aren't a Jewish group....or Buddhit now I suppose.

I agree that no one should ever try and force their beliefs on others, and i also think that being a christian is not about rules its about a relationship with God. even then pharases in the bible called themselves christians, but everything they did was just for show. on a side note. there's almost two seprete scene's here in calgary, a christian one and a secular one,

2 of the best local christian bands are Kiros and Fpz, and kiros is gonna being playing the calgary date of warped tour and they might even be going on the US tour with slick shoes, i suggest checking them out on mp3.com, because all the other bands i had have already been listed

Have you ever been to an Anti-Flag show? Now that makes me sick. They have 14 year old kids @ those shows who don't know a thing about politics, and here is the band speakin' against being brainwashed when they're in fact doing the same thing. Political bands such as these preach their beliefs more than any "christian" band I've ever seen(ie. Dogwood, NogginTobaggan)

But the original topic...Sick Of Change is not only the best Christian band I have ever heard...they're one of the best bands no one has ever heard of...(RIP)

But Anti-Flag isn't preaching religion. They're talking politics and FACTS

If someone thinks that gay couples shouldn't marry, because it "says so in the bible", they're an ass

But if someone has a beef with governmental policies, and then they outline their reasoning behind it, that's not brainwashing, that's critical thinking. These bands aren't telling you what to believe, they're telling not to accept everything at face value, to question authority. It's a valuable life skill to be able to think.

I don't have any problems with religion, or people who are religious.

No, AF preaches radical left-wing rhetoric. Look at "Mumia's Song" and "Seattle was a Riot." In the former, they show no critical thinking. They make the obvious statement that political prisoners should be freed and then say that Mumia is one of them. I know this is a cause celebre amongst lefties, but the facts are more like conspiracy theories on this case. Everyone has seen the freemumia stuff, it's good to read a fact-based rebuttal (http://www.danielfaulkner.com/mythsdir.html) . In the latter, they paint the protestors as the voice of the masses, though they are in fact in the minority opinion. They also whitewash protestors as stoics, who were in fact busy smashing symbols of capitalism when they were stopped by tear gas. These are but two examples. The point is very simple, listening to political bands without being skeptical is at least as dangerous as blindly accepting religious doctrine.

We disagree...this is armageddon

I hear what you're saying, good points. But you can't say that all of the protestors were smashing symbols of capitalism. I know some people who were there (most of us do) and they give me the impression that the majority of the protestors were peaceful. Of course, on the other hand, you cant claim that all protestors are intelligent, well spoken, and peaceful, so it goes both ways.

It is odd for us to disagree. I am just saying that 14 year olds who listen to AF, yet don't bother to be informed, are going to be brainwashed. Sure, AF gets some things right, but they also lie and exaggerate. They complain about the bias in the media, but they are extremely biased themselves. If you don't take AF with a grain of salt, you are an idiot.

Devin...You seriously took the words right out of my mouth. The funniest thing about AF is how much they are against capitalism(and I have yet to be convinced that anything else works better)yet they sell their merch for 300% mark-up. If that's not capitalism @ work...I don't know what is

I am going to agree with devin on this one, if you get your political views from a band, you're an idiot, it's one thing to agree with what a band is saying, but if you have no opinions at all and than all of the sudden hear a song, and become all gung ho for the cause, and the only knowledge you have is that of a 2 minute song, damnit that's just frustrating...that's the only thing i don't like about "punk" uninformed kids rebeling against shit they know nothing about cuz a band that they are 'supposed' to like tells them to, that's just dumb...and yes I realize many of you are very smart/informed:devin, zach, colin all coming to mind

I'm not arguing against that, it's a solid point. Maybe my original post got misinterpreted (or maybe I'm a jackass, which is a legitimate possibility)

Some bands do just spout rhetoric, but others do present facts and sources (boysetsfire comes to mind) and don't shove their own opinion down the listeners throat.

I often wonder how much these "political bands" really know about the causes they sing/write about.

Way to dominate the page by the way, nicely done!

Thrice isn't a "Christian band", but there are some religious lyrics...especially on Identity Crisis. Lots of Dustin's lyrics are about his struggles with finding his faith.

i think the lyrics in Identity Crisis were more about struggling to find his faith.. and then in Illusion of Safety they realise religion is a bunch of bullshit.. or at least they come to that conclusion..

"Betrayal Is A Symptom"

faith,
is not something that i grasp
its something that i fake,
as I'm slipping, as I'm falling through the cracks,
faith
without actions is a mask,
for making the same mistakes
as I'm slipping as I'm falling through the cracks.

Agreed. I am smart arn't I? Any way's, any body who gets their opinions from a song shouldn't be allowed to have opions. If you want to be active about something you should atleast know why you ar active, and what it is that you are an activist for.
