The Elms - Christian band into Moz
posted by davidt on Monday July 15 2002, @08:00AM

 Mozfiend writes:

There is a Christian Band called The Elms that have started to get real big in the U.S. they have a great sound and are quite "britpop" sounding with very positive lyrics. I wrote a small note to them asking if there was other Christian britpop bands and this is the response I got back...

Jay,

          Hey there...this is Thomas from The elms. I've yet to look on
down the list to see if anyone else has replied to your inquiry or
not, but if you're looking for other Christian bands with a Brit-pop
flare to them, you might look into...

Delirious (sound a bit like Travis, Coldplay, U2)

All Star United

            Can't think of anymore at the moment...but those are a decent
start. By the way...all of us in the band are fans of Morrissey and
The Smiths. :-) Take care, God bless, and keep rockin'.

    If you actually want to hear great "Christian" bands on a "Secular" quality level...you probably already heard of the following:

    Starflyer 59 - www.Starflyer59.net
    Pedro the Lion - www.PedroTheLion.com
    Viva Voce - www.VivaVoce.com

    I've played in the Christian scene for 7 years now and there has ony been a handful of bands that have achieved the "Timeless" watermark of great music. These are some of those great bands. Oh and, Starflyer 59, my favorite, by far.

            How about that as an influence?? ;)

                      "You are a born again atheist" "And the church all they want is your money" Come on people Morrissey has denounced any type of christian beliefs in countless interviews. Stop trying to search for something that isn't there. Yeah Moz the Christian Pop sensation I can see it now. Touring with all the lovely ack Christian bands. Give me a frickin break.

                      Is there really anyone out there feeling happy about a christian band being into MOZ? I sincerely hope not, as there is not the least need to promote those values beyond instinct and rational thought any longer, based on a barbaric past and a -hopefully- vanishing future. Take care of your local church, Elms representatives, or otherwise we will...

                      i don't see any attempt here to relate moz to religion, only more info on another moz-influenced band that happens to be part of the christian scene. it's interesting to me, since i'm part of that scene and also a moz fan, but is not to everyone, of course...same as all the other info that passes through this site...i'm glad mozfiend decided to post it. if you're not, then so be it...no hidden agenda here
