Ya just can't fuck to christian music!!!!!!!

i dont know about all christian music sounding the same
but the lads sound like shit.

peace be upon mohammad

That is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard. I am not religious but have been in the music industry for some years now and have seen, heard and promoted some great christian musicians. Soda are doing well for themselves and have a fresh sound. Check out the new band "eight" and then re-post your apology please. Thier single "whale" is on Channel Z, The Rock, ZM, and played frequently on Juice TV. I am not a friend of either bands/members, I have been in close contact with the Labels that represent them. Been working for Universal for a couple of years now and have heard some crap secular bands and some crap Christian ones, cuts both ways. Yet in the last few years there has been some really fresh clean new sounds coming from within Churches around New Zealand. I dont knock thier beliefs, only listen to the music and the band "eight" are really going to go places with thier music.

Judy: Are you bringing out brilliant music at the moment?

I saw a POD interview on M2 last night and i found it very amusing to see that the vocalist did not mention christianity once, even when asked directly about the "spirituality" in their music, he totally avoided the god thing and said that the band is all about "love". He obviously failed to mention christianity because it might be bad for record sales. No seriously, i bet its true.

And Judy you are so very right, wether they like it or not. christian music will always be labeled as such, not music, but "christian music". They have their own versions for every band out there including black and death metal christian bands. Bands that sell hundreds of thousands of albums but that the average NON christian has never heard of. This shows how secluded the whole christian music scene is, and im glad they pretty much keep to them selves.

Nu-metal is talentless and isnt true metal in any sense of the word.

Anyone with some kidn of intelligence would be able to see all the contradictions and fallicies in the bible and the entire christian faith so I have a hard time figuring out how Christianity is still relevant today, inside or outside music culture.

POD might just be the first Christian band that didn't sound like everything else in that "genre" - STERILE! I was amazed that theyre what they are. Some years back I was driving thru Phoenix, Arizona, and I came upon what I eventually concluded was an all Christian Rock station. For the most part that genre is like this (that wack 80's band Stryper comes to mind): It's like eating something non-fat vs. something full of calories - one is satisfying and the other is totally lacking!

I will agree with that, some christian bands really do bite, just like there are plenty of non-christian bands that bite....this is really a very tunnel visioned debate......by saying that all christian music sounds the same, you are basically saying that all music in general sounds the same....
For various christian bands use the same styles as various non christian bands, just as various non-christian bands use the same styles as other non-christian bands. Just because a band has a style, doesnt it mean that style can only be limited to one band or one religion, whether it be christian or not. They play that style because thats the kind of music they like. Most of the time the only thing that can determine a christian band from a non is the lyrics.
So if all christian music sounds the same, and most christian music doesnt sound a hell of a lot different from 'regular' music, then you are in fact saying that all music in general sounds the same.......good one.

Judy, I'd like you to give me some examples on how it sounds the same, and not the same ones you used earlier because you're examples the you had in the first post had nothing to do with what you're arguing. You're saying, or what you've made it sound like you're saying, that all CHRISTIAN music sounds the same, not christian music rips off non-christian music, which would be an even pathetic arguement.

You should try and put a little more substantial evidence behind your arguement instead of making a profoundly stupid statement that makes you sound like a red neck biggot.......

Im just came across this forum today. I dont see how you can possibly say all christian music sounds the same. At the top of the forum u wrote that MXPX sounds the same as Pennywise and Soda sounds like Zed and Project 86 sounds like Rage. I thought u were trying to say that all CHRISTIAN music sounds the same. Not that some christian bands sound similar to some secular bands??? Of course punk is gonna sound like punk, of course rapcore is gonna sound like rapcore. Alot of christian bands comming out these days are going big because they have a fresh, original sound. Check out 'Blindside' tell me who they sound similar to. Check out 'Switchfoot' this band is gonna do huge things and yet they are extremely original. Please make sure we know what we're on about b4 we go judging music. Some christian bands suck and so do some secular bands. Thats me for now....im out.
