Christian Music, Anyone?

I even liked the bad ones. Anyone remember Petra?

I assume you are all aware of Lo-Fidelity Records reissuing a ton of albums on Vinyl. If not, here’s the deets,

You can still pick up a color variant of the 77’s Drowning with Land In Sight at their bandcamp store :

Also I stalk their Kickstarter:

I was looking for Sticks and Stones, bummer I didn’t know it was already reissued. I pledged Adam Again’s Kickstarter campaign, as well as for The Choir, but was unaware of Sticks and Stones.

This was the first Christian Metal band I came across.

I'm totally unreligious, but went down a gospel funk rabbit hole a couple of years ago. TL Barrett, of course (never got around to getting the VMP pressing as well and now that's too late); but they were also a couple of great compilations on Numero, Gospel Funk Hymnal and Born Again Funk. I also liked Christians Catch Hell from Honest Jons. And the Andrew Wartts reissue from Superfly was great. There were more that I can't remember for work but if anybody has any suggestions for similar sounds I'm all ears.

I'm waiting for them to put the Perfecta up on their Bandcamp site.

I actually came across an OG copy of the S/T at a record fair a few week ago. Best $4 I've spent this year.

I’ve got a CD copy of the Ten Songs reissue, and Homeboys on vinyl. I’be still never heard Dig or Perfecta.

Wow, that takes me back!

I don't listen to the new stuff coming out of this genre at all, but those two are still in my regular rotation all these years later.

Dig and River on Fire are the standout hits for me on the album Dig (which is criminally underappreciated).



Perfecta is more raucous than Dig. All Right, Every Mother's Way and Try Not To Try are my favs on this one.

 

[Renée]

lol I used to listen to the heavy stuff as well when younger. The Devil Wears Prada, Demon Hunter, Becoming the Archetype, a little of August Burns Red...

“This isn’t a phase Mom...” lol it totally was

Demon Hunter kicks ass. The singer of Becoming the Archetype made a new band called Death Therapy that is absolutely amazing. I got both of their albums on vinyl.

Where would one start with Jars of Clay? I remember really liking “Flood" when it was a big single but never listened to much else.

I liked Good Monsters a lot, at least that is how I got into them

Good call. This sounds pretty good!

I recently started listening to a Podcast called Good Christian Fun where they discuss with a guest Christian Media which of course means music is regularly discussed. I would def suggest giving them a listen even if you, like me, don't identify as "Christian" https://www.goodchristianfun.com/about-us

My favorite Jars of Clay album is still probably Who We Are Instead.

I'll check that out next. Really liked Good Monsters. I listened to the s/t debut and it was fine but only a few songs stood out to me. It sounded kind of dated too.
