Good Christian Alternative/Emo bands

skyroket · 06-04-2008, 05:18 AM

I'm looking for new christian alternative/emo-style bands that their lyrics are OBVIOUSLY christian. I dont like the middle-of-the-road lyrics where you're not sure he's singing about God or a girl...

I like: a rotterdam november, wavorly, red, the afters, anberlin, this beautiful republic, etc. (thats all that comes to my head)

You know Relient K right? If not, then you are way out of the loop. They're not really alternative, but since you listed Anberlin i thought why not you know?

how about:

Flyleaf
Fireflight
Falling Up
Dizmas
Skillet

And that's why most Christian music could be taken many different ways.

Emery.. need I say more?

Family Force Five

The Almost---started by a guy from underoath actually, and i like this band better!

skyroket · 06-05-2008, 07:12 AM

the almost was started by aaron gillipsey--drummer of underoath (i doubt thats how u spell his last name)...which is why they sound so similar. I do like underoath and the almost, emery is pretty good, (but I heard they're not a christian band--any truth to this?) FF5, and i listen to all the other bands listed here. Thanks for the replies. I guess I am looking for more of the unheard of emo-ish bands like My Paper Camera, or Ivoryline, or Waking Ashland, things like that. I also enjoy Leeland, although not an emo band, just emos in a band (which you would think that it would influence their music--it doesnt) so any unheard-of emo bands with strong christian lyrics I wouldnt be afraid to show to my parents? thanks

Trogdor's lame friend · 06-05-2008, 08:28 AM

This "Christian Emo music" thing is kind of an oxymoron IMO =|

Are you sure "emo" is the correct term for it?

SilentWalrus · 06-05-2008, 08:33 AM

I say Maylene and the Sons of Disaster.

The only band that comes to mind for me is Relient K...

Agreed, although I wouldn't really think of them as emo.

True.

Beausiph · 06-06-2008, 10:41 AM

Skillet!

skyroket · 06-12-2008, 04:53 AM

skillets not emo...saline: you're right...but thats the genre people place them in...if you're looking for a reference to IMO mainstream emo bands (whose style i like-- but Im looking for christian bands) Panic! At the disco, falloutboy, 30seconds to mars, etc. use those as references to what I'm looking for

da_mean_cat · 07-01-2008, 04:27 AM

Blindside

skyroket · 07-09-2008, 04:24 AM

anyone heard of Capital Lights or This Providence? This Providence is actually on the same label as Panic! but is actually a Christian band sounding a lot like them. Its sweet.

kanyefalloutboy · 07-11-2008, 11:41 AM
