Christian Bands

First of all, let me say it’s long gone the time when I was a “Christian”. For quite some time now, I believe in a personal relationship with God without the angry/chaotic/crazy/money-hungry churches in-between us.

So, when someone introduces me to one of these “new Christian great sounding bands”, I’m all like “Nah, I already talk to God all by myself”. I really don’t need anyone preaching to me anything on any kind of things related to this subject (God, religion, faith, Christ, etc).

Still, there are times when the sound is so good, I’m willing to let it go. I won’t pay attention to the lyrics and just listen to the sound.

Say You Will Band Members

Say You Will…

…is one of those types of bands. They’re good enough to make you disregard something that would put you off from their sound right from the start.

Anyway, I think it’s smart that they don’t “push” their religion right to your face. I have no idea how much “Christian” they are, but honestly I couldn’t care less. I have listened to their sound and it’s awesome! I’ve also seen people say they are quite nice folks and that seeing their live show is awesome and I can truly believe that.

You can check them out on iTunes, PureVolume, YouTube and, of course, the regular MySpace.

Say You Will - Brighter EP

The Album – “Brighter” (EP)

A friend gave me their “Brighter” EP to listen and I loved it! I’m glad I listened to it before going to their MySpace page or researching them (so there’s no prejudice to their sound beforehand).

The EP cover is also really clever and original. I like the idea where something that much simple can result in such a pleasant cover. A simple paint roll generates a nice myriad of cartoonish colors in smooth waves crossing themselves.

Really clever, I bet it will grab the attention of many and arouse their curiosity around the sound that should go with that cover.

On that note, Let me tell you beforehand: the sound is just as pleasant as the cover. Grab yourself a copy if you can.
