Celtic, punk, southern gospel? Cool, I think?

@BallydowseRambler I agree, identity should be found in Christ. however, that doesn't mean that you can't also identify with other cultures or groups. Some Christian punk bands don't shy from the label. "We are Christian punks" - Officer Negative, for example. There are a lot (well, probably not as many anymore) of Christian punk kids, who find identity in Christ, but also relate to the punk lifestyle. Anger isn't necessarily bad, depending on what it's aimed at.

@tbeCapnBen It's the singers words not mine. But I stand by them. Crashdog, Ballydowse, Headnoise, Calibretto, alot of christian punk bands agree and say the same thing. Punk was founded on anger. I'm not a punk, I am a Christian.-Every major christian punk band. :)

@BallydowseRambler What? there is nothing anti-punk in Christianity. Its a Christian Celtic punk band, Celtic punk being the style of music and Christian being the meaning behind every lyric and note. Punk doesn't have to be "screw the government and disobey authority." punk is just the style of playing, ragged, rowdy and full of energy. Some play punk and have harmful lyrics, but these guys play all for the glory of God. There is nothing prohibiting them from being punk.

Just saw these guys at rage. Amazing concert

[BallydowseRambler]

These boys where Christians before they where Celtic. They'll die Christians before they call themselves punk. :) Toban- You can't allow yourself to think in a punk mindset. We are Christians.
