agreed, but then if a band gets pig enough everyone jumps on them, like skillet. I have a friend who works at a worship station and their sister rock station knew their was a skillet concert and was going to promote it without knowing papa roach was going to on the two and thought nothing of it. Its like really? one popular band and you have jump on the band wagon? stupid
About the part about old people... If you've ever lived in florida, you know what a snowbird is. Essentially, there old people that are sometimes rude, rich,come in huge waves take up beachside condos and only live in them for two months, the worst drivers ever, and so many other things that make me shudder... it's also really bad if their at the beach
No, he gets annoyed by the snowbirds, since up until a few weeks ago he lived in St. Petersburg, FL (about 15 minutes from my town) and let me tell you, they are ANNOYING.
They are all Christians, they just don't want to be pigeonholed. One thing I can't stand about the christian music industry is that they tend to segregate their artists instead of letting them witness where they REALLY need to witness...namely the general market.
they are not tech. a Christian band, but they are all spiritual guys. they dont curse and many of their songs, like this one, have Christian lyrics. they shouldn't be labeled a Christian band b/c they dont sing praise and worship, but at the same time its cool to see them, as well as other bands like underoath, switchfoot, etc., making great rock music that can relate to anyone in an industry that is very much negative towards Christianity in general.
"I would love to forget what my Mom looks like!" - Stephen Christian
HAHA. nice I guess? It's good that he likes touring so much. The thing about this interview is, I can tell the interviewer (I forget his name) doesn't actually like/listen to Anberlin which is always annoying for the listener/viewer of the interview. Other than that, Anberlin rules.
Well Anberlin is christian in a way that none of there music swears and the members are christian. (i think). But there also "not" christian because there songs are not about god/jesus/ christian based catagories. But, i do refer to them as a "good" band as in lyrics, not in there actual music and how they preform because there are insanley awesome at playing/singing/writing/all the stuff involved with writing, because of the fact that they do not cuss or

why is that strange, dude? Would it be less strange if his name was Christian Stevens? I believe Christian is a quite normal surname is it not? And allthough the members of the band may be christian, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly christian about the band, their music and their message...
now thats preach! they are christians individually, but not as a band! GET IT STRAIGHT!!! watch the interview with Mute Math, paul and roy talks a lot about this! GO GET EDUCATED!!!
not hating, you just need to understand some of their songs might be christian influenced, but they are songs of there lives. like paperthin hymn, it's about a friend who recently died from cancer i think, before recording. they are songs about their lives. and as far as them selling their records at christian stores, well they should and thats a good thing, just like switchfoot has there stuff sold at christian stores and played on the FISH, but are they a christian band? no they are not.
actually YES! SWITCHFOOT IS a Christian band, too. Just because their songs don't literally tlk about God and Jesus doesn't mean they are Not Christians...
"We've always called ourselves a rock band and tried to stay away from anything that would limit our audience." said chad butler. and like i said, they are christian individually. "For me, my faith is a really personal, important part of my life, and it's much bigger to me than a musical genre".
as for Anberlin "Over the years, many fans and members of the media have considered Anberlin to be a Christian band. However, Stephen Christian denies these claims, stating in an interview, "I think we're categorized like that a lot because we're on Tooth & Nail Records, which, years ago, was known as a Christian label and never lost that reputation. I don't care who listens to our records.

As Switchfoot says, it's a faith, not a genre.
Anyway, Anberlin rocks. The interviewer is kinda weird.
