Looking for good Christian rock

[amoonsin]

I'm looking for some good christian rock that has the same soundish as the following bands or close to if possible. Some bands I do know about are Skillet, Creed, Pillar, Thousand Foot Krutch, Falling Up. I don't like screamo, I just like hard, rock, with singing you can understand.

Secular music I like includes but is not limited too :

Metallica
Tool
Ozzy Osbourne
Stone Temple Pilots
Alice in Chains
Soundgarden
Audioslave
Pearljam
Smashing Pumpkins
Van Halen
Bon Jovi
A Perfect Circle
Linkin Park
Pink Floyd
Temple of the Dog
Bush
Nickleback
Lostprophets
Guns'n'Roses
Godsmack
Aerosmith

 

[Million Pieces]

I do't personally listen to any of those, but from what I hear, you're off to a good start.

Blindside is excellent, they do scream a bit though. Check out Project 86 for some good hard rock, and if you don't mind a little rapping P.O.D....

 

[amoonsin]

Blindside and P.O.D I know like, blindside not so much. Have to check out project 86 thanks. Keep em comings please

chevelle, day of fire, disciple, forever changed, kutless, and manic drive are all very good and christian and not much screaming

 

[thechariot]

and 38th parallel if you like rapping

 

[amoonsin]

Chevelle is my ring tone and I like Kutless, i'll look into the others thanks

ah yes, nothing quite like the average almost-edgy-but-still-average hard rock music. a popular choice. To add to your list, try out:
Manic Drive
Faded Me

For a bit more fun, try out:
Dead Poetic
Life In Your Way

akeldama (idk if they are still around, but i got a cd of theirs a few years back and it was pretty good)

 

[Strong_Believer]

All these are pretty good

Pillar "Where Do We Go From Here" - the best "Above" pretty good

Thousand Foot Krutch "The Art is Breaking" -is awesome

Skillet "Collide" & "Alien Youth" - is awesome

Kutless "Kutless - one cd is awesome rock

Disciple "Disciple" - Few good songs

Falling Up "Crashings" - Awesome

Se7enth Seal "Se7enth Seal"- alright

12 Stones - first cd is the best

 

[Buckeye]

Seventh Day Slumber
Sanctus Real

I am massively in love with Christian rock, some of my personal favorites are:

Kutless
Falling Up
38th Parallel
Thousand Foot Krutch
DC Talk
Toby Mac
Grits
Skillet
Third Day
Delirious
Jeremy Camp (Not as rock)

These are just a few, and I know you already have some of these on your list. I absolutely love Kutless and have all four cds. I highly reccomend them. I just went to their concert last month, and they were awesome!!! I like my music loud though, so it was perfect!!

There is a new band out there touring with Day of Fire right now called Red they are really good!! their CD doesnt come out till June though.
