Answer 2

Kutless

I don't know if these two are Christian Rock or not, but Blindside (their Silence album only, the older stuff is mainly Screamo) and Project 86 are both awesome as well. I have heard them referred to as Christian Rock bands on the internet once, but never really thought of them as such before that.

I'm not at all religious but one of my friends introduced me to these bands and I loved them.

Here is a list of some other similar bands, but I haven't listened to most of them:

Unfortunately I haven't really been listening to music over the last couple of years as much as I used to, so I really can't remember more than these off the top of my head.

Edit: Oh man, I can't believe I forgot about 12 Stones. They're definitely the best Christian Rock Band I've ever heard.

Answer 3

I'm a big fan of The 77s. They're pretty old school (I've been listening since the 80s), but I think they are still innovating.

Also like the Swirling Eddies, Perry and the Poorboys, and Daniel Amos. My husband likes POD, but they're a little too much "noise" for me! LOL!

Most of the mainstream CCM doesn't float my boat, though I listen to it some because it's preferable to the secular alternatives.

I'm probably showing my age, but whatev!

Best wishes! <><

Answer 4

Everyday Sunday Pillar

Answer 5

You really want a good idea of what is out there, check out K-LOVE Radio, I believe its 91.9 FM....you can also hook-up on line, they have the artist and then you can listen to a clip of the music, you can even listen to the radio show on-line.....
here, let me get that for you.....http://www.klove.com/
and then go to the Music/On Air and select: either Top Songs or Artists, you can listen to clips and get the lyrics as well.
