Yes, it sounds really gay, but I just got back last night from a Christian Music Festival, Elevation, and I about cried. This little known band, called The Remnant, has one of the best guitar players I have ever heard.
I bought their CD, and I'm working on putting up on YouTube to let other people listen to it. So I might post one or two of their songs later.
The HeartSupport tour, a tour to support awareness of people with emotional problems such as cutting, burning, abuse, eating disorders, etc. Their website allows people to "tell their story" and talk about it, and get help for themselves. It's all for a really good cause:
FAMILY FORCE FIVE (Pure amazing. Try and not sing along if you know the lyrics. It's nearly impossible. And yes, their names are Soul Glow Activatur, Crouton, Chapstique, Fatty, and Nadaddy. They are the freakiest dudes you will ever meet) - Love Addict:
Family Force Five also has a reality TV show on YouTube. The Really Real Show. Watch them. They are funny. :D
THIS BEAUTIFUL REPUBLIC (Very good for a new, smaller band. Nice Guitar, good lead singer, I like them.)
Going Under:
SPOKEN (Pretty good. More "metal" than the other bands. Pretty good all around though.)
Falling Further:
FALLING UP ( I really didn't like this band. They do play Synthesizer, and I just have a thing against Synth bands. I really don't know, but it's just not that good musically.)
Broken Heart:
All around however, the Weekend of music was really good. It was definitley worth the 50$ it cost.
Check these bands out, even if you aren't Christian, you might like their music.

I heard that hardcore Christian chicks are an easy lay on such events.
Music that has a message is flawed, just like philosophers that write their texts in lyrical prose. Usually thats just either trying to make up for something that is missing, but that part is normally essential, or its trying to make itself better and more important than it is, which than normally creates the opposite impression.
