Official thread for Catholic/Christian PUNK bands

[littleflower+JMJ]

my brother's punk band is playing at the hard rock cafe in new orleans in some event they signed up for.

i heard them play at a show on thursday night, they sounded really tight.

im hoping they could (since 4 out of the 5 members are catholic) switch over and join us muwhahaaaha

curtins --

Check out Crashdog (punk and pro-life, though not Catholic.)

And Blindside (more on the "alt. rock" side, but still good, and pro-life. Not exclusively Catholic.)



You'd like both, I'm sure.

I mean in the mainstream sense of the word.

Not alternative like... R.E.M. or something, lol.

I suggest you look them up just to see. I really think you'd like them.

[curtins]

ok ill take your word for it

[voiciblanche]

And, curtins, here's some good punk or punk-ish bands that aren't really anything, but [i]aren't [/i]pro-death:

the Bouncing Souls
the Clash
the Transplants
the Vandals

[Oik]

Tim Armstrong is in the Transplants, you know, the guy from Rancid. Rancid is, unfortunatly pro-death...

I don't know about the others.

Brian Setzer is catholic. I think he is, unfortunatly, pro-death as well.

[curtins]

clash vandals and bouncing souls- all great ill make sure to pick up some of their merch and cds

I know. I don't know if it's Tim or the other guy that's pro-death, or if they're all pro-death.

Perhaps I will just stay away from the Transplants.

how bout underoath and atreyu... arent they both Christian hardcore bands?

[Lounge Daddy]

Voici is dead on with Crashdog
Just dismiss their last album “cashists fascists and other fungus” – the last cd was made after the front man, Spike Nard (who pretty much wrote the songs and lead the band) left the to focus on more hands-on youth work in Chicago… and then the band’s sound went from old-skool punk to a typical generic (and disappointing) hard-core sound
“mud angels” is my personal favorite Crashdog album

also check a band called The Lead if you can find em
they were pretty far underground Christian punk
from Texas I think
some of the songs were in Spanish and a girl did some of the vocals, and she kicked it hard
the cd I remember hearing was titled “burn this record”
this band rocked
they were hard-core and up front

and then there is the The Crucified – who had a huge cult following
but they had some anti-Catholic songs – and then the front man (who wrote most of the songs) did admit after the band broke up that looking back he was uneducated and ill-informed on some of the material he wrote lyrics for and had some regrets
-- too bad for us he hasn’t done much to fix those regrets (to my knowledge) … yet

***
on the non-punk side – there was a pretty heavy thrash band called Seventh Angel that had a pro-life song that just ripped – it was awesome and emotional and to the point
to the life of me I cannot remember the name of the track – but when it comes to me ill post it

looked at the rock for life site n theres a pile of bands there i lurrrrvs

eg. 311 + bruce springsteen!!!!

i'm a little sceptical of how all these bands can be pro abortion

this site looks great but you've got to question it's evidence...

[DemonSlayer]

Atreyu is definitely not Christian, in fact they are anti-Christian, I looked up their lyrics about a week ago.
I've heard that Norma Jean might tour in Australia with them, I just hope that it's with another band who isn't anti-Christian.

[DemonSlayer]

Comeback Kid's a pretty good Christian hardcore punk band, but their guitarists are from a Christian hxc band called Figure Four who said in an interview that they hate religion...

[url="http://www.mp3.com.au/artist.asp?id=2239"]Antskeptic[/url] is great punk rock band from Australia who are Christians.

[littleflower+JMJ]

anyone got any info on thrice? im totally digging their stuff

[corban711]

peace be with you!

i could be crazy...but i think that at least a few of the members of Thrice must be Christians. Here is some evidence i have built up...look at the studio journal. The guy named his dog Lucy after Lucy in the Chronicles of Narnia. On his playlist (things he is listening to): The Screwtape Letters read by John Cleese. On his reading list are two books by C.S. Lewis Of Other World's and The World's Last Night. They also have a song that has the same title as a C.S. Lewis book called The Abolition of Man. The song "as the ruin falls" was a poem by C.S. Lewis. Oh yeah...I almost forgot..."Hideous Strength" sounds strangely like the book from the Space Trilogy "that hideous strength" also by Lewis. Okay...so all this proves is that these guys LOVE C.S. Lewis, maybe they aren't Christian. But I have never known anyone who has read that much Lewis who weren't either good Catholics or some form of practicing Christians. That is a whole bunch of C.S. Lewis and some of those works are blatantly Christian. Also, since Thrice began...even before they were big, they have donated proceeds from their cd sales to different charities. Given all this...I am believing they are Christian (or at least some of them are).

I am not the type of person who tries to "make" cool bands Christian by reading into their stuff because I wished they were Christian. I just think that Thrice has several obvious references to Lewis, they love his works and I think that is more than just coincidence.
