Over the last decade, there's been a spate of new "faith" rock bands that cling tightly to the support network of faith-based (Christian) radio stations. Here in Atlanta, the big dog is a fish, or I should say, THE Fish:



They've put up large billboards that declare how their radio station is "safe for the whole family." Which brings me to my point.

I don't want my rock to be "safe." What fun is that? And after forcing myself to listen to this crap faith rock on this morning's commute, it's clear to my ears that all these bands do is rip off the sound of both classic and contemporary rock and add ridiculously predictable lyrics about god. Just take any rock love song and change the object of desire or love to "God" or "Jesus."







You can see that these "faith" bands also look indistinguishable from the more mundane rock bands. Ten minutes of this musical shit and I want to crank the Stooges "I Wanna Be Your Dog."
