I'm a big fan of flyleaf and have been since they released their self titled album. If you follow them you've seen them develop and grow as a band through the release of Memento Mori which was also fantastic and put a different twist on their music. I really like Lacey Sturm and how vocal she is about their purpose and what kind of band they are. In a May 2010 interview,she was asked how it felt to be in a Christian rock band and play in Las Vegas:
"Well, you know what? I don’t know what you mean by a “Christian rock band.” It’s hard to say that because people all have a different definition of what that means. If it means that we’re Christians, then yeah, we’re Christians, but if a plumber’s a Christian, does that make him a “Christian plumber?” I mean we’re not playing for Christians. We’re just playing honestly and that’s going to come out."
If bands say that I typically am curious as to if they are trying to avoid calling themselves believers but that's not at all the problem here. Their music is laced with honesty and conviction. If you haven't listened to their stuff, start with their debut album. Today's post is the song All Around You from that album and gives you a glimpse into that album. Enjoy.
