What is your favourite Christian Band?

[ForsakenGirl]

I'm new to this genre..

 

[“Paisios”]

Casting Crowns, maybe.

 

[WolfGate]

I would have to say Hillsong United, though their sound has changed many times over the years. They are decidedly in the Praise and Worship category, but songs can range from slow/worshipful to loud rock to even a bit techno.

Genre wise I like hard rock a lot. Skillet, Thousand Foot Krutch are two Christian bands I enjoy.

 

[MustardSeeed]

Rivers and Robots!

 

[-Luca]

Tenth Avenue North, all the way!

 

[MustardSeeed]

Their cinematography is amazing too!

There is a wide range of Christian music of many styles. There are many good radio stations around the world and many streaming sites that play a range of artists. I'm sure there are people here that could recommend some that they like. I'm sure there are some that play music that you'd like.

I work with a low power FM station in Madison WI, WIXL. It streams online on 97X.fm. The distinctive thing is that we play a wide range of Christian artists of many styles including pop, blues, hiphop, metal, indy, experimental, and rock rather than focusing on one particular style. The goal is to play styles and songs that don't get a lot of airplay on more mainstream Christian stations. The fellow who does the programming tries to make sure there are no repeated songs in any 8 hour period. There end up being hundreds of different songs played per week. If you are new to Christian music (and like music a bit on the heavier side than typical pop), 97x.fm could be a nice introduction to a wide range of bands. In any given hour, there'll be a song that doesn't fit my tastes followed by some gems that I hadn't heard before.

Throwing in an older band - White Heart. The second song isn't that typical of their sound, but it is one of my favourites.

If you're looking for something a little different (and there's really no other word to describe it...), I would recommend Wovenhand. He is one of my favourite musicians in the world. His former band Sixteen Horsepower is also worth a listen. They're a little more folk/Americana sounding. Wovenhand doesn't really fit in a genre.

 

[sunshineforJesus]

My fave group of all time is the newsboys.

Thank you, they truly seem interesting.
