About Us

There’s no such thing as a Christian band. There is Christian music; there is Christian content. You can play a song, We can just sit here and play a guitar for you and label it a Christian song. When lyrics are involved, that’s one thing. You’ve got bands like Casting Crowns that are talking about the altar and the door. They’re carrying the cross in their message. And you’ve got bands like us where the meaning is embedded, and it makes people more or less dig for the question, and the answers. I think everything about our band is like that. We’re Christ followers who have been saved by grace with a Christian upbringing, and we love music. That’s basically what we are. It’s hard, because in the mainstream . . . look at Sting, who’s a Buddhist. People don’t call his music Buddhist music, thinking, “Well, he’s Buddhist so his music must be talking about Buddhism.” It’s easy for people to label you if you sing about God. There are bands out there who sing about God, like U2, but that doesn’t make them a Christian band. What it makes them is their own thing. We always like to call ourselves a Christian band because that’s what we are. If they ask us if we’re a Christian band, we tell them yes. And if they ask us why, we tell them why.
