...they feel that musically, Kutless is unoriginal. Can't remember any negatives or positives about lyrics. Got a sneak listen at their new CD that's coming this month, I think. It is a totally different sound from Sea of Faces and Hearts of the Innocent. It's a good move for them...many bands die ...

Anyone have any idea how to get their own songs/music copyrighted? I've got a few completed songs that I would like to start using with my church band during youth services and such, but I won't bring them out until I get them copyrighted...

Kutless' first two albums weren't that bad, but the last two (Strong Tower and Hearts of the Innocent) have some tracks that sound almost exactly the same. That is most annoying, and if they aren't careful, could find themselves in the street if they don't generate some different-sounding stuff. Oh,...

I never got into Creed - I got the feeling when listening to them that they were just out to make money off of what I felt was a very vague spiritual message. This seems to be reinforced with Scott Stapp's new "cd" - which is obviously written with a bent to get CHristians to buy it - followed by hi...

First...song titles had me rolling on the floor laughing, brent. Very nice!! Second...I think I must agree with the Christian college thing. I went to Olivet Nazarene as an undergrad from 1999-2004 (now I'm there as a grad student...go figure). We had the "guys in these dorms on one side of the camp...

I was in Mineral Wells, TX in 1990 on a camping trip with the other 5th and 6th graders from my church. The other guys were telling ghost stories (which terrified me at the time) late at night, so I wound up on the other side of the "cabin" (read: log building with a roof and screen mesh for windows...

Have to add to my list now...I have executioner to thank for this... Fireflight - "The Healing of Harms" (CD) - currently in my car's CD player and 5 songs on my 20 song IPod shortlist. This CD isn't making a quick exit from my car, either (and there are plenty of groups that I get tired of so quick...

I like "Serenity." However, I do think that the verses and the chorus don't fit together quite right. I DO think "Serenity" could have used something like a thirty or forty second opening based on the song chorus - a la "Stars" by Switchfoot. I didn't care for "Star of the Show" that much...but over...

I have now obtained the CD "The Healing of Harms" through legal means (in other words...I went out and bought it...and after all the searching I had to do for it, I wasn't gonna be denied...eight stores and only the last one I went to had it...ugh). CD is a piece of work. It makes some Kutless songs...

They're getting pretty heavy airplay on Air1 88.1 of Champaign, IL and Shine.fm 89.7 out of Kankakee, IL (I'm back and forth between the two towns pretty much every week). I know radio is not the best way to catch new acts, and I don't listen to radio much anyway - but they always seem to be on it, ...

Brent, Seems like you know quite a bit about the music industry...you must be involved in it to know so much about it. That being said, I'm sure that there is a negative difference in quality between 128 kps and a CD. I'll also be the first person to tell you that on 98% of my 892 digital songs, I c...

That's why churches doing the same 'ol worship music just drive me nuts. I'm beginning to think that worship music is the next "Disco". :? Churches doing the same old thing CAN drive a person nuts. But...it doesn't take much to keep a church from doing the same old thing. A talented musician or two...

OK...I'm 25 and probably one of the younger people on this board...and Swaggart I've heard the name a few times and know nothing about...but who is Bill Gothard? I've never heard his name, and I grew up in a church family. What did these guys say against Christian Rock, and why were they so adamantl...

Hmm...based on the lyrics posted by Life_AWKI...there isn't anything there that really makes me cringe...however... I can see both my parents, who are fairly quiet and not terribly outgoing having something of a major issue with the line "But Heaven is taken by the bold." I also suspect that they fe...
