En l'an 2237, des archivistes viendront analyser les vestiges de notre civilisation. Leur mission tiendra spécifiquement aux réalisations artistiques de l'humanité, catégorie musique à la bascule des millénaires II et III. Ils tomberont là-dessus, feront le lien avec J.Lee Pierce, étiquetteront, rangeront dans la catégorie supérieure, seront subrepticement traversés par une sorte d'émotion et se demanderont encore pourquoi cette forme de vie a pu combiner tant de merveilles et d'abominations.

Josh Pearson is the son of a preacher man, but from what I gather he was kicked out of the church. His lyrics overflow with christian mysticism & imagery, wrestling with with God, banishment & fights between angels & devils. I don't know wether he considers himself a christian but he definitely sings more truthfully, honest songs about his experience of God than a lot of the crap we get fed by evangelical bands! Totally inspiring & relevant, I think he's a genius & I kinda envy his beard!

Unfortunately the band split in 2003 (?) and the only member I am now aware of is Josh Pearson who has been touring Europe (allegedly living in Germany for the last couple of years). He recently performed in the UK to mixed reviews. The other members are Josh Browning and Andy Young.
For reasons I don't understand the band were only ever popular in Texas (mainly Fort Worth) and the UK.
I would urge you to buy the album. Even a dyed-in-the-wool atheist like myself was moved by its passion.
