Escape or dun wanna go…

This post is made in response to wat Max has posted in his blog. i dun know about other ppl but i’ll clarify here why i dun go to prayer meeting.

As the only christian in the family, it’s not easy. all the church activities such the music practice, prayer meeting (used to), EYM and sunday service i went most of the time without my parents knowing.

And yet my parents do wonder where was i up to whenever i went out on thur nite, fri nite, sat nite and sun morning. especially nite time, after the meeting sure go makan one. in the end, always came back at ard midnite. this is no one’s fault cause i myself definitely will wanna eat after that!

Recently like this sem, i can’t go out as i wish to like before. whenever my mum asked where i went the other nite, i would say do work at fren’s place. this lie has been going on for so long. and it’s not about time management thing ok, if that ever cross ur mind.

My mum doesn’t question much but due to my dad. my dad just dislike me going out at nite especially when i’m still studying. that is why i can’t wait to finish my study so that i can attend back these meetings since i’ll be working by that time and i can say i dun have to see the color of their faces. my dad tends to think i’m out in the nite doing some illegal activities. God knows wat i’m doing and i fear no one!

So, i guess that’s my explanation for my absent from the meeting.

cheers…

Day of Fire & Fireflight

I just wanna intro 2 more christian bands here. 1st would be Day of Fire. Day of Fire is a Christian hard rock band from Jackson, Tennessee. They were signed to Essential Records, where they were labelmates of Third Day, Jars of Clay, and Caedmon’s Call, until early 2007.

Day of Fire had moderate hits with “Cornerstone” and “Detainer” from their self-titled debut album. The album was produced by Scott Humphrey, who has also worked with Metallica and Rob Zombie. It won a Dove Award for Rock Album of the Year and was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Gospel Album. Their second album, called Cut & Move, was released on June 6, 2006. “Run”, a track from Cut & Move, was the theme song for WWE Unforgiven 2006. Other hit songs from the album include “Love”, “Hole In My Hand”, and “Frustrating”.
Members:

• Joshua Brown – lead vocals
• Gregg Hionis – guitar

2nd would be Fireflight. Fireflight is an American Christian rock band. The band originated in Eustis, Florida in 1999. The band is signed by Flicker Records, and has toured with Seventh Day Slumber, Kids in the Way, Shoutfest and is featured on The Scars Remains tour with Disciple, Family Force Five & Decyfer Down in February 2007.

Their debut national album The Healing of Harms was released in July 2006 after the band had been together for over half a decade. The band released an EP in 2004 entitled On The Subject of Moving Forward. Prior to this, though, they put out the album “Glam-rok” on an independent label.

Fireflight says that their album “hints of emo-core, modern rock, and progressive metal permeate the record”. 

They claim their sound is “Blindside with a dash of Evanescence,”

cheers…

Relient K’s Mmhmm

I got my hand on this band’s album last nite. initially it was introduced by Max (thanx man ) when he showed me a video of the band which i’m not sure wat’s the title.

Here’s a lil’ info about Relient K: Relient K is a Christian rock band that is part of the CCM culture. They are considered in secular circles to be part of the alternative, pop punk, Christian rock, and/or punk genres. They were formed in 1998 in Canton, Ohio. These are the current members:

• Matt Thiessen – lead vocals, guitar, piano (1998–present)
• Matt Hoopes – guitar, (1998–present)
• Dave Douglas – drums, (2000-present)
• John Warne – bass, (2004–present)
• Jon Schneck – guitar, banjo, bells, (2005–present)

This album that i’m listening to at the moment is their 4th album. for me, their music sound like Blink 182 cos there are songs which resembled punk rock genre. haha… even Adriano said that some of their music sound like The Click Five or even the Good Charlotte. well, i’m not here to compare them anyway.

And according to Max again, they did have 1 song (which i dun know the title or which album) which feature the voice from the band Switchfoot. at the moment, i’m still trying to get their self-titled debut album and their latest one called Five Score & Seven Years Ago.

Well, have a listen to it and u decide. and as for me, from the 1st song till the last it’s a blast. punk rock never sounded better and wat’s more when it’s does not contain explicit language.

cheers…
