suggestions for good christian bands

[devastated]

Hi, I would really like to buy some Christian music for myself. However, I'm not really familiar with many of the bands out there. Can anyone offer any good suggestions of cds I could buy. I know that I like Seabird and Kutless, but that is about the only bands I know. I also want to avoid songs about love/relationships/marriage/children etc. Thanks

Some bands I really like are five iron frenzy, the insyderz, the o.c. supertones, and the w's. They are Christian ska which is upbeat and fun, the insyderz have two worship cd's, five iron and the w's are broken up but may get back together soon. Have fun on your search for good Christian music, hope you find something that you love

 

[Holly's_Dream]

Becky Green is a definite must - her albums are a mix of chilled contemplation and up beat modern worship music

Could you listen to Steve Owsinski. He's a new musician who just had his first cd released on itunes and cdbaby.

 

[cmo77]

Hey check out Steve Owsinski on itunes and cdbaby.com. He's not in a band but has a band sound. I think you'll like his music. If you do like it, would you consider writing a review? Thank you.

[jeffwiebe90]

try a band called "write this down" there newish and its good solid hard rock with an amazing message

 

[apocolypticremedy999]

One of my classic favs that often go overlooked; Audio Adrenaline! Although they are quite old and passed, they are no longer together, but their album; "Hit Parade," was very good!

My favorite all time worship group; Hillsong! or Hillsong UNITED! They're the best and I just saw them live a few months ago, great live too!

Playmate to Jesus - Aqua

Come here
Let me take you on a trip
Leaving in the name of love
Silence and emptiness

You're among a billion stars
Please don't say a single word
All around the galaxy
Silence and emptiness

Let's go into space
Heading for Venus
Fly around the Sun
Playmate to Jesus
Everywhere I go, I pray
For universal love

High above the sky
Closer to Heaven
Here among the stars
All is forgiven
Everywhere I go, I pray
For universal love

I'm hearing nothing - is it me or is it you?
I keep on trying but you're just not coming through
I see your signal but I keep on losing it
I'll find your frequency bit by bit

Forgive me
Please, forgive the things I've done
Every little matters here
Life keeps moving on

Everlasting energy
Shining all over me
Falling into gravity
Silence and emptiness

Let's go into space
Heading for Venus
Fly around the Sun
Playmate to Jesus
Everywhere I go, I pray
For universal love

High above the sky
Closer to Heaven
Here among the stars
All is forgiven
Everywhere I go, I pray
For universal love

(Can you hear me?) I'm hearing nothing - is it me or is it you?
(Can you hear me?) I keep on trying but you're just not coming through
(Can you hear me?) I see your signal but I keep on losing it
(Can you hear me?) I'll find your frequency bit by bit

Love spreads love - forevermore
Fear spreads fear - the Devil's core
Take my hand and follow me
It's magical

This moment's gonna change my life

(Can you hear me?) Love spreads love - forevermore
(Can you hear me?) Fear spreads fear - the Devil's core
(Can you hear me?) Take my hand and follow me
(Can you hear me?) It's magical - so here we go

Let's go into space
Heading for Venus
Fly around the Sun
Playmate to Jesus
Everywhere I go, I pray
For universal love

High above the sky
Closer to Heaven
Here among the stars
All is forgiven
Everywhere I go, I pray
For universal love

(Can you hear me?) I'm hearing nothing - is it me or is it you?
(Can you hear me?) I keep on trying but you're just not coming through
(Can you hear me?) I see your signal but I keep on losing it
(Can you hear me?) I'll find your frequency bit by bit

Life keeps moving on (Love) (Love)
Life keeps moving on (Love)
