I can always count on Mr. Dave to say something that will summarize a topic in one short paragraph. Kudos yet again.

Yes, and they are also incredibly awesome, not to mention groundbrealing for their time. I mean the type of stuff they were playing in like 1996 was so different. Huge influence on all these bands.

Thats twice you've mentioned this band, not exactly subtle. Not because they are christian or anything but Gwen Stacy owns.

Not the generalization thing again. A bands religious background has little or no affect on the quality of the band. Yeah I agree sometimes 'the message' is a little ridiculous, but what kind of self respecting band tries to push a religious 'message' anyway?
