Flatfoot 56 - Brotherhood (Gospel Music???)

[MrAwesomedude96]

Raise up the flag and let them see our creed is a symbol for those who are free. We fight against evil, we fight against sin; our battles not outward, our battles within" now you have them... nothing bad about them... nothing bad about the concert because it's their culture... I'm Christian, too and I see nothing wrong with this...

[MrAwesomedude96]

Lyrics for you:"As I walk through this land I remember the boys who took a stand, who stood there strong when things got rough. They would shout and scream at the things that were tough, no weapon formed against them would live, a punch to the face, a kick to the rib their cause was just and they strove to be pure. All of Hell shook when their knees hit the floor. Never look back, never give up. There's someone behind who'll pick you up. I've got a sword in my hand and I'm ready for the attack.

[crashsitetube]

@MrAwesomedude96 - can you honestly say that you got those lyrics from listening to thiat video? Or did you just copy them from some other place that had them printed. Because, I can tell you that I can't distinguish those words, even watching the video while looking at the words.

[chaos5252]

These guys came to my college earlier this year...so AWESOME

[crousedaniel38]

u cant tell me they dont fuck chicks and drink alot of beer!!! just look at the bagpipe player, he looks bad ass!

[pebercurrin]

Ahhh. So glad in Psalms 66 We were told to make a joyful noise in all the lands. This is the joyful noise of the brotherhood!!!!!!

[OutWithNewInWithOld]

What do you mean "This is Gospel music?". If you can't understand the lyrics that is tough teriyaki for you!!! Just go online and read the lyrics, and then listen to the song, and you will understand it. And by the way, what is "unChristian" about bagpipes and a girl dancing a jig. These guys are from the rollin hills o Scotland and that is part of their culture and heritage. These guys are a blessing to the Christian market as they have introduced new, unique elements of punk rock.

[crashsitetube]

@OutWithNewInWithOld - Sorry bud but, these guys is from Chicago and last I heard, that town is in the good ol' US of A.

[OutWithNewInWithOld]

@crashsitetube Yeah I know that, but these lads are of Scottish and Irish decent.

[PUNKXx666]

they are not gospel at all your an idiot. its celtic punk

[xfreshuntildeathx]

They're Christians who play Punk. Probably skinheads. Just because they talk about God in their music doesn't make them a "Christian" band.

If they tour with Dropkick and play this style of punk, they're definitely Skinheads.

[MitchelxUnderoath]

This band is freaken hardcore

[TomElloyan]

@crashsitetube I never said that God liked or disliked this. I didn't even mention the word like in it or how it was religious. I was saying MY oppinion.

[Tom412]

oi to that



[JesusRad20]

SICKEST BAND ON PLANET EARTH!!!

[crashsitetube]

@JesusRad20 - So....I'm guessing that "sickest" is the new, "hep", "solid, Jackson" ", "wigged out", "hot", "cool", "swingin'", "with it", "fab", "groovey", "hip", "rad", "phat", etc., etc........(but, I'll betcha in 10 years NOBODY but, NOBODY is gonna remember that one).

[JesusRad20]

@crashsitetube Jackson?? phat(thats lame) Still Say Rad, Gnarly!! ALL I KNOW IS THAT GOD IS RAD AND THIS VIDEO AND BAND IS SICK!!

[cheifofsinners]

@crashsitetube

Dude, so what if he said sickest? This is a freaking youtube vid. People use the vernacular here all the friggin time. just the way it is. That being said I agree with JesusRad20, this is the most awesomest band to ever grace the stage!

I am just starting the play the pipes, and I am seeing them live in a month!

[Wanderlei420]

im not super religious but this shit kicks ass they put on a sick a show last night at the galaxy in santa ana christian band or not i love itt its about the music first !!!!

[suprTOONCES]

they're christians that play celtic punk.

[upinarms79]

So these guys are basically like a Christian Dropkick Murphys or The Real McKenzies? I've never heard of them before but they don't sound too bad.

[samuraitj]

\m/ YYYYYYEEEEEAAAAA ROCK YOUR HEAD 4 JESUS!!! GRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[3sheetz2thawind]

I'm Irish. But, i agree with crashsitetube! Jesus wouldn't like this music, because he's a Jew!

[MrBeavisandbutthead1]

I honestly dont even believe in God or anything like that but I still love this band none the less, their great musicians and very nice guys from what i saw

[ggfuckingallin23]

fuck you

[zinnyzxx]

tvu doesnt play gospel.they play christian rock

[Neigebonbon]

arent they scottish?

[3sheetz2thawind]

@Neigebonbon, yes. But, most of these "know it alls" assume they are Irish! People are retards and have no sense! They live by nothing but stereotypes! I'm glad you are one of the one's that know! Good observation!

[buffyfreak579]

i believe "gospel" is a genre of music. this is not gospel but it is flippin with a totally positive msg. love love LOVE these guys!

[civilizationsdead]

Jesus was a bigger punk than most of the ones who call themselves one today. Jesus was a crust if you really think about it.

[necr0sys]

@civilizationsdead Absolutely. Authority hated him, because he exposed their corruption and pride. Him and his disciples were constantly in danger but that didn't stop them spreading the message. Most important of all he took all our sins, illnesses and diseases upon himself on the cross, so that we might have an opportunity to be in heaven one day. A completely unselfish act of unconditional love.

[eringel2424]

God's awesome. Religion sucks ass. Bottom line.

[Godzwitchdoctor]

@eringel2424 You can't have one without the other mate.

[amiranda0013]

You jesus fags really tend to ruin everything. For the fucking love of god, he asks you to do good, and improve mankind, not suck his dick. Stop giving religion a bad name with your unfounded views.

[MrNoodles86]

Yes they are def from chicago... and they are absolutely incredible!!!!

[CF3372]

The thing is the message and we do not have the right to play God for we don't know their hearts!

[dumdumdumdumdumdumdu]

they're not "worshiping" jesus. we're fuckin irish. we got to church, no intense worshiping going on

[CF3372]

Who are you to play God?

[lakesidelivin]

When did you get there? To church, that is.

[13dieter]

and just cause they are irish means that they can praise jesus? im irish and a christian does that mean i cant worship jesus? i go to church and there is intense worship there everyday..

[crashsitetube]

They're from Chicago. Last I heard, Chicago is in the USA.

[IHteUsernames]

@crashsitetube Aye that'll be true, They're from chicaco, making Irish punk, with Scotish bagpipes, what an amazing band isn't it?

[3sheetz2thawind]

@13dieter, they are Scottish!

[mathijs1992]

feel the noddlyness Ramen! this band is blessed by the Noddely touch of the flying spaghetti monster Oi

[juniorjunior53]

jesus nós dá a verdadeira liberdade

botem pra quebrar flatfoot..

[AbnormalRecordz]

Yehhh. Flatfoot 56 rules.

Oi Oi from Germany.

[fuckblackmetal]

hail jesus !!!!

Flatfoot rulez !

[BobZombie33]

Quit the religious shit. it's good music regardless.

[luigibros1]

iif you listen,it is talking about the people who fought off the English.With jesus's help of course come on farmers versus the english army? was like America,only they lost,but they didn't lost thier freedom. =P

[lac2low4afathoe]

fuck jesus. flatfoot rules.

[jezx21]

dude they stand for jesus...

[13dieter]

why "fuck" jesus.. what did he do to you? oh except die on the cross so that you wont burn in hell but live in heaven.. and forgave all your sins. promised to never leave and a ton of other stuff and all you need to do is except him as your saviour.. sounds to me he doesnt deserve to be "fucked" so please shut up

[crashsitetube]

Uhmmmm...did you mean to say, "accept"?

[gnss4evr]

Chicago has been coming out with the better celtic bands lately. The Tossers and Flatfoot 56 are freagin awesome!!

[MrRunningwolfe]

If everyone who says they are christian could only know the truth about What Christian music is.

This is not the kind of music that Yeshua (Jesus) would listen to. Yeshua loves music--and worship. But I really don't think people understand the biblical history and principle on music and worship. This is not Gospel--Not Worship !

[crashsitetube]

Oh, really? And just what do you base your insight of Jesus' preferences on?

I can't speak for others but, I have to say that your rather pretentious use of the name, "Yeshua" makes me suspicious that you may consider your opinion to be just a bit better than that of others and the tone of your post bears that out.

If, Yeshua (I can be pompous, too) had a musical preference it would have been whatever was performed in the Middle East at the time he lived. That's all he would have known.

[MammaLuigiRobotnik]

level headed and it made sense.

never see that in youtube.

[13dieter]

yeshua is just a dialect to say the name jesus.. and he is god, i think you missed that part.. so therefore as long as its for him at doesnt really matter what kind od musik it is so long as its praising him.. and the whole middle east musik thing is irrelivent and is musik just like punk and country

[clone1918]

first off, who are you to even say that in the first place? music is music, it only depends with the intent of what the music is played for. as long as you glorify his name, it doesn't matter if it is the worst song in the world as long as it comes from your heart. jesus doesn't segregate wat music to play. so basically wat you said is totally bogus and you should read the bible more and learn not to judge. i can go into this all day with you if you want to and i'll school you and help you learn

[MrRunningwolfe]

Listen, son. . .have you listened to yourself ? Do you know what you are sounding like ? just like them--them out in the world. I feel so sorry for you son. I wish yo could wake up. I wish you could see I do not want anything to happen to you or your friends. May Yeshua forgive you. HaHo !

[clone1918]

see wat's funny is that you're trying to turn it around on me which isn't goin to work. i bet you wouldn't say this to a Muslim at all. Muslims do the same thing wen they get offended so i really don't want to here this crap about Christians blowing their top. anyways, i'm actually really calm, i know what i believe and know that Jesus accepts this music. and fisrt off old man, u don't have to worry about what is goin to happen to me, i know where i'm goin when i die.

[clone1918]

and about the friend thing, you can only do so much for friends and others. what it really comes down to it sir is that you have to make sure you make it to heaven because no one is goin to be around you wen you come face to face with God. and you like to judge and think people who don't do the things you think is godly is sinning. you're an elderly guy, but not a wise one.

[THEillinifan1000]

Jesus loves all music when it is glorifying him. if this song didnt have any words but it was still how these guys worshipped then Jesus would love it.

[crashsitetube]

So, basically you're saying that Jesus is an egomaniac then?

But, wait! Earlier, a, Mrrunningwolfe assured us that Jesus would NOT like this music (and he and Jesus are such pals that he calls him,, "Yeshua").

Do you suppose it's just possible that both of you are full-of-crap, big-talking liars that actually have no idea of what Jesus may or may not have liked for music?

Hmmmmmmm?

[THEillinifan1000]

thats not what im saying at all.

im just saying people can worship Jesus how ever they feel like.

[13dieter]

i dont know the whole argument but im say somethin anyway.. if god didnt like a form of musik do you think it would have been thought of? if you think about it for every kind of musik there is out there there is some shape or form of a "christian" form of that same type of musik.. and if god didnt like that form of musik then why would people praise god in that way? oh and jesus cant be egoistic because he died for us! though we did not deserve it

[Eman991]

@crashsitetube dude, just shut up.

[TomElloyan]

@crashsitetube welll the guy above was bassically right. What I believe is that God doesn't mind if you listen to clean/secualr music like Coldplay, God really likes it though when you listen to stuff about Him or relivant cause it feeds knowledge into your brain. So for the most part Bands like Switchfoot,Flatfoor 56,Relient K, Andrew Peterson are all Christian bands I listen to. Now I want to be in a secular and Christian band. If I play bass to the best of my ability and Glorify God then Iam

[crashsitetube]

@TomElloyan - I have been trying really hard NOT to get into a "religious" discussion here but, you guys, with your intimate knowledge of what God and Jesus like and don't like and why, are really tempting me to launch into it. In the interest of trying to keep it about music videos and not theology, I'll just once again bite my tonge and stay silent on this.

[cross0fire]

does anyone know whose flag they're waving all the time ?

[gnss4evr]

if im right, thats the Chicago city flag.

[curaidh]

chicago's, lol

[mthsbandrocks]

why doesn't this video have freaking circle pits?! what kind of vidoe is this? [lol]

[psychkoala]

Man, they are actually very good.

It's not too hard to play Punk; but the pipes are harder. The main thing is the overall sound, of course. Not bad at all.

[ChefKKoch]

1:50 sweet

[pnasty629]

this video is kind of reminds me of DKM's barroom hero video with Mike

[luigibros1]

"we fight against evil,we fight against sin" take that!

[jrynobass]

HAAA 5 Dolla Footlong.... that made my night...

[ruliezz]

Geweldige muziek :D echt een super coolle band :D waren ook op Xnoizz Flevo Festival 2008 :D:D

[teamdc1000]

there skin heads wtf? now christan

[migas89]

I'm a skin, and a christian, and most importantly non-racist.

if you don't know about skin culture, it actually coincides with Christianity fairly well.

check it out son

[thegoodtruth]

SHARP? @ migas89

[migas89]

Trad Skin. Which some people consider SHARP.

in my opinion a skin is a skin. no fancy labels needed. unless you're a "bonehead" in which case you aren't a real skin

[mannaggiatuazia]

christian is the opposit of punk

[Lvl5Paladin]

There might be punks and some punk music against Christianity, but that doesn't mean people who play punk music have to be atheist.

[Jagneux]

learning is the "opposit" of stupid

[anorling]

what that is crap, and yes these guys are a religious group. i saw them at a christian retreat weekend. and punk is a sound, just because most punks live the rebelious life style doesnt mean that is the only time.

[mannaggiatuazia]

PUNK IS A SOUND!?!?!? don't say shit to me little boy...punk is a way of life...it could be simply and easy to say but i don't speak english enough to make you understand how stupid is your answer...bye

[daloser09]

A great Christian band they are!

[ick9192]

They're an American Oi/Skinhead band.

[mortentje]

But not the extreme right one's right?

[srxplayer]

Awesome band. I have to say they are up there with The Drop Kick Murphy's in my book.

Being a Christian myself makes it all the better.

[chunkyhunkymonkey]

they played a tour opening for dropkick and i second what you say

[Craigcdubs]

Flatfoot is really awesome. Definitely breaking Christian sterotypes

I pray for them every night

[Jagneux]

5! 5 dolla! 5 dolla foot long!

[imwounded]

this f*cking rocks :D

[Hellogoodsirr]

Christian Celtic Punk

not gospel music

they have are the best shows I've ever been to, and my favorite band

[StraightEdge4ME]

I've seen thes guys live. I don't listen to these guys bc they are X-tian - I am not X-tian. All I know is that I love the band because they have a positive message and I'm quite sure they're not in it for a label, but for what they love and believe. I met these guys after the show with my 3 year old. (I'm an old school Traditional SxE) That jerk that usually spills beer on me wasn't there. Thanks 56! I'll see you on tour with the Street Dogs down in NC! "NEVER GIVE UP AND NEVER GIVE IN"

[lilzoobie1]

i saw em at ampfest to!!!

[coldsteele12]

i saw them at ampfest last night =D

[hockeynoah7]

awesome, i want to see them again, their concerts are so fun :)

[xxxdannyxxx23]

this happens to be one of my favorite bands

the lyrics are not intelligible just listen closer

[theambassadors]

Any music (except Christian music for some reason) is just a mish mash of influences, for these guys Jesus happens to be moshing with The Pogues, Cro-Mags and the Clash. Gospel music equals a choir, Southern Gospel= the Gaithers, I don't see either one in this.

They definitely preach the Gospel though :p just to confuse you even more.

[theambassadors]

Never look back never give up,

There's someone behind who will pick you up,

I got a sword in my hand and I'm ready for the attack.

Raise up the flag let them see,

Our creed is a symbol for those who are free,

We fight against evil, we fight against sin,

Our battles not outward, our battles within.

"If a plumber stands up one day and declares Christ, does that make him a Christian plumber?" -lead singer POD

These guys are legit brothers in Christ, sometimes their lyrics reflect it

[theambassadors]

As I walk through this land,

I remember the boys who took a stand,

Who stood there strong when things got tough,

They would shout and scream at the things that were rough,

No weapon formed against them would live,

A punch to the face, a kick to the rib

Their cause was justice and they strove to be pure,

All of hell shook when their knees hit the floor,

[jenbanter]

Would someone please list the lyrics? I didn't catch what they were saying and I don't want to turn my computer up any louder.

[iwebber88]

Christianrocklyrics d[0]t com has them.

[zinkzone]

great band

[acacpr]

the important thing is to ignore any religious message and listen to the bagpipes.

[souperman08]

Who cares what it can be labeled as? They're a bunch of awesome Christian guys who sing about their love of Jesus. Call that what you want, but I call it amazing. There is nothing non-Christian about bagpipes, dancing, or how you sing. And they are far from unintelligible.

[crashsitetube]

One commenter says you have to "read" the lyrics first. Others say it's perfectly intelligible. The show host and the announcer are very clear. The song lyrics are sorta muddled right from the start but, seem to say, "As I walked through this land, I remember the voice through the sand,...". Without cheating by looking up the lyrics, what is the next line? I couldn't tell you. It's completely unitelligible. I think it ends with something like, "piece of rock???".

[LostPilgram]

can't people be proud of being Christian and not get labled as gospel? bash me if you want but i'm being real here

[crashsitetube]

Jesus freaks are funny. Love the attitude.

[LostPilgram]

not getting attitude bro, just can't stand people thinking that all chirstian music is gospel... but whatever... all that matters is that Flatfoot is greatness

[endmon88]

They are greatness and they are the best guys to hang out with. The were talking and Tobin was talking about how he was like "I saw this video labeling us as gospel and were not but what ever call us what you want."

[iwebber88]

Yeah, "Gospel" is a horrible label for Christian bands.

Gospel = Blind Boys From Alabama.

Haha, no joke.

[theefaulted]

unintelligible lyrics? I could hear what they were saying. I wouldn't call it "gospel music", but I would call it one of the greatest Christian music bands ever to emerge.

[escapethelies]

You need to read their lyrics before you jump to whether you call it gospel music of not. Don't make assumptions.
