Yes, you read the title correctly. Anything Christian alternative/rock can be shared here. Anything from Skillet, Fireflight, and Red to Kutless and Thousand Foot Krutch.

Happy posting!

 

Edit: I wasn't expecting an explosion of posts like this!

Rock? That's not how you spell dubstep.

Try Fireflight. Deperate and Unbreakable are really good. If they don't work, Skillet is best band. Ever. Hero, Monster, Awake and Alive, Whispers in the Dark... All are really good.

 

This are the songs I had in mind when I made this thread. ^^

I'm a pleb

 

Yup.

Good point. And christian dub would just be dumb.

Neutral Milk Hotel is better.

Christian dubstep?

 

I'd rather listen to Forever by Fireflight and Start Again by Red. In fact, I will right now.

If anyone doesn't know, Heidevolk mean "Holy people" and "Ostara" is the Dutch name for "Mary"

 

 

God bless<3

Skillet is best.

 

Or it's just our preferences.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Drago or the Dragons. It's one of my top Falling Up tracks.

 

Now for some Christian Rock music that technically isn't Christian Rock but deals with Christian themes.

There's a plethora of "me-too" christian bands that just try to emulate successful mainstream bands, which give the sub-genre a bad name. But not all bands are content to just write throw away tunes that most christian radio stations will play regardless of quality. Musical talent is musical talent, and should be respected regardless of content matter.

 

Christian alternative music is really no different than Pony fan music. It takes familiar genres and styles, and applies them to a nontraditional subject. If the music is good enough, you can enjoy it regardless of your interest in the subject matter, but the people who are close to the subject at hand are probably going to get a lot more out of it.

 

Also, another song I love.

Also a great song =)

Pleb detected, needs more Chirstian Rock like Heidevolk:

 

 

This is called "A Jesus Song"

 

The first lines:

 

"I am in Jesus' blood

Nothing else is sweet to me..."

[Legendary Emerald 622]

 

Heard this song played live at an "Acquire the Fire" concert, back when I was still in a youth group. This band blew Skillet out of the water that day; I'm guessing Skillet just might not be a very good live band, because I've heard good studio tracks of theirs since.
