Awesome stuff...is this a Christian band tho?

**thesteve** · 11-14-2004, 12:57 PM

well, i'm a christian, and i'm in the band. the drummer and guitarist are also christians.

Oh I see...Christian band....but not a Christian label...but thats still cool. And I think the music is very nice.

**thesteve** · 11-14-2004, 01:03 PM

we basically choose to let our lives speak for themselves. like the old song says, "they will know we are christians by our love".

I was talking to a friend of mine a couple weeks ago about what a fun name this would be. Looks like you guys beat us to it! I'll give your music a listen some other time, but I have to say: you guys have a cool website. I like the unusual design.

ImOnFire · 11-15-2004, 09:51 AM

Yes...website deff stands out....very professional.

**thesteve** · 11-15-2004, 10:08 AM

we're really blessed when it comes to personal talents. my guitarist is a graphic designer for a t-shirt company, and my drummer has done some freelance web design.

The guitarist rocks most righteously on his instrument, but his vocals are a little lacking...still, those are some fantastic guitar licks he's wringing out of his instrument. Maybe you guys need a vocalist just like the great rock bands of yesteryear! You need a Robert Plant for your Jimmy Page, a Mick Jagger for your Keith Richards, a Bono for your the Edge.

we've thought about getting a full-time vocalist (which would really allow us to get better lyrics) but for the time being, being a three-piece is simply amazing because getting together to practice is alot easier to figure out.

ryan's voice is alright, but he also writes the lyrics, and he has add, so he can't remember the words too well...or at least that's his excuse. on the other hand, keeping it simple keeps the band pretty lighthearted and fan-friendly.

True enough, but if you want to go further, you're going to need better lyrics and a better singer. You guys have the talent to go a long ways, and the fact that you've got a professional looking website and some decent recordings shows you have the savvy to get bigger.

So true, in some songs I can barely hear him.

that has more to do with the recording than his vocal volume. all the stuff that you're listening to wasn't recorded in a studio, it was multi-tracked in a bedroom. with a studio environment (much better acoustic scenario) i suspect that it won't even be an issue.

one of the comments we've gotten at shows is, "wow you can actually hear what he's saying". our lyrics are actually better on a couple unrecorded songs (our ep was 4 songs, but we have a seven song catalog right now), but when you start out as a jam band with an ADD guitarist the important part of the song becomes the musical hooks. right now we're just working on building up our fanbase.
