Flyleaf

The first time I watched
Flyleaf frontwoman Lacey Mosley's salvation experience on JCTV, I cried. The next time I watched it, I still cried. There's something so comforting with the love she experienced that covered all her wounds and traumas. "That's why I got saved: because I was loved," she says.
Krystal Meyers
2.12.2007
Krystal shares the love of God with other believers and with those who don't know Him yet. "My faith is everything to me," she says. "It's who I am. It's the basis of everything I do. Jesus Christ is everything. He's given me peace and joy that is so unreal that I just have to sing about it. It comes out in my music. I have to share what I believe!"
Young and passionate, that's
Krystal Meyers.
David Crowder Band
1.30.2007
Even though David Crowder is ostensibly a Christian rock artist, he's first and foremost a contemporary singer-songwriter. Accordingly, one doesn't even begin to disseminate the spiritual content of his lyrics until after fully experiencing his sonic blueprint. With help from his apparently close-knit band, he's fashioned a sound that's not far from that of David Gray. Folk-rock acoustic guitars and soulfully emotive vocals mix with burbling synthesizers and drum loops, adding a more expansive touch along the way via some wide-screen electric guitars a la the Wallflowers. Moving through ILLUMINATE, the influence of everyone from Dave Matthews to Dashboard Confessional can be felt, but only in fleeting moments before moving on to something else. Add in some substantive, faith-oriented lyrics, and you've got a band difficult to pigeonhole, but easy to like.

Big Daddy Weave
1.21.2007
My existing LSS is Big Daddy Weave's Every Time I Breathe. It's just sweet singing love songs to Someone who loves you even more. Way way more.
Drop by WikiMusicGuide and see
Big Daddy Weave.
Also, view their current album
Every Time I Breathe while you're there.
In the meantime, I'll continue singing (or making various noises, in other words) my existing LSS:
...And every time I get another glimpse of Your heart/I realize it's true that You are so marvelous God/and I am so in love with You.I am so in love with You.
Casting Crowns

Recent
CD buy is Casting Crown's
Lifesong. It's actually their songs' messages more than the musical style that initially drove me towards this Christian band..and then their rhythm grew on me. Just love their
heartfelt sincerity.Also see their artist page
here.
Newsboys
12.27.2006
Hillsong United came. I wasn't able to see them though, but thanks to DJ Jordan for airing a recorded interview on the radio. I'm still not totally acquainted with the troop of musicians they have, like the entirety (complete countless albums and all) of their Hillsong counterpart. They're just so many, and so talented.
Now Newsboys was scheduled to come as well for a concert last 11th, at Crossroads 77 (my favorite favorite place near school). I've heard they're really good with live concerts. Yes, I've seen their revolving drums in a music video ("Everybody Takes a Shot") from one of their live concerts. They're good indeed. And their frontman looks like The Phantom's Billy Zane, hehe.
The concert was cancelled unfortunately.
:(But to pay tribute to these long-lived Christian rockers,
here's their WMG artist page.
Yey!

Thanks Abby for featuring me, and Switchfoot's Learning to Breathe.

Mae

Say anything, but say what you mean,
cause I'm caught in suspension.~Mae
It's actually the warm fuzzy rhythm that pulled me to that song,
Suspension, and to
Mae. I'm sure others who would come across with Multi-sensory Aesthetic Experience (the actual term where they got their name), would like their melodies too.
See their sophomore album,
The Everglow, in WMG.
(:"The record is a story about love and striving and failure and reward, but most importantly it is about being true to yourself, finding your passions, and making them your reason for living, and living fulfilled," Mae professes.
Relient K
These guys are a bunch of creatively amusing fellows who can combine faith and fun. They're just one happy frolicsome band that doesn't water down their faith with their frolicking. Yes, they also sing about everyday stuff under the sun, and its part of their songwriter's personality to be cheesy and tell dumb jokes, where he takes all the puns he think of and plant them in a song. But to quote:
"We're not trying to hide anything with the songs, just get what we feel out there. We definitely have our own way of singing about spirituality. But in the end that's who we are and what we believe in. We hope between that and the music, it connects with someone out there." I guess it's the child in me that likes the child in them.
Anyhoo,
here's their page.
I still don't know how to pronounce
Mmhmm, but it doesn't matter. Say it as Mmhmm, mmhmm, or mmHmm, I still would make an album page for it.
Switchfoot's Learning to Breathe
11.27.2006
Faith-filled music. Artsy skills. Surfing. Juvenile looks.
That's
Switchfoot, except for the juvenile looks they've dropped after signing under Columbia Records, a mainstream label. That's a happy move actually (probably record label-driven) which even enabled them more followers and I suppose, shrieking fans. Of course, besides the great music. That's given.
Learning to Breathe is the first album I owned from the band, which is just simply good, what more can I say. I'm still loving it.
See the album in
WMG!
Jars of Clay
I first bumped into Jars of Clay when I was in second year high school. I bought their
Much Afraid cassette album during our field trip in Quad (Quad then, now Glorietta or Greenbelt?) along with the Wedding Singer soundtracks I picked up. I sold it to my classmate though, can't remember why.
Fast forward college I even knew how to play
Tea and Sympathy on a plain guitar (I was trying hard, just that. Trying hard. Oh well.). Although Jars of Clay didn't have that much impact on me then the way they do now. They're just one fine band.
That's why I made a page for
Jars of Clay in WikiMusicGuide, together with
Good Monsters, their most distinguished album to date (the reviews say it all!). (:
Jeremy Camp
Happy Campers will be happy with this one:
Jeremy Camp is on WikiMusicGuide!
Check out the guitar-driven strong vocals, the inspiring story, and the Godly devotion all in one. Also, check his album
Stay.
Happy Camping!

Note: the blog now serves to publish my page submissions in
WikiMusicGuide! Which I believe would be the biggest music information haven to hit cyberspace.
Just watch out
