Members Nick H Posted June 7, 2012 Members Share Posted June 7, 2012 So im in a christian band, we just formed and are playing a show tomorrow (yep ) and need to expand our set. So preferably something easy (most modern stuff is anyway), we are allready doing some covers Skillet, Kutless and Have Not Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mstreck Posted June 7, 2012 Members Share Posted June 7, 2012 Got female vocals? Try Flyleaf. We've done well with Fully Alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swtchfoot great songs There's also 30 years of christian rock songs to draw your setlist from... I would encourage you to rehearse and be excellent rather than just throw something together just because you've got a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Davage Posted June 7, 2012 Members Share Posted June 7, 2012 I imagine this won't help out by tomorrow, but... Audio Adrenaline - Some Kinda ZombiePOD - AliveSwitchfoot - Meant To LiveThird Day - Consuming Fire Actually, many songs can be turned into Hard rock. I find that this is typically what we do when we find a cover that we like...and it helps us make the song our own. Jars of Clay's Flood, Third Day's Love Song and This Is Who I Am have been some of my favorites. As far as easy songs to pick up on the spot...again, Third Day is always good for that. Praise Song, Your Love O Lord, My Hope Is You, etc... Have a great show!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MikeyParent Posted June 7, 2012 Members Share Posted June 7, 2012 The title track from Creed's first album (My Own Prison), which - Creed haters be damned - is actually a pretty good album IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tom_richard Posted June 7, 2012 Members Share Posted June 7, 2012 I believe Stryper is a christian glam metal band, you should check that out, "the way" is a quite cool song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FitchFY Posted June 7, 2012 Members Share Posted June 7, 2012 Many songs are considered Christian rock even though they're techincally not. So check out the lyrical content, but tracks from the following bands that may or may not fit could all go in that pile: Skillet Flyleaf Creed P.O.D. King's X the last two Megadeth CDs Stryper Switchfoot Third Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zon5string Posted June 7, 2012 Members Share Posted June 7, 2012 Some of Linkin Park's stuff has somewhat Christian/spiritual lyrical content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rockguitar2000 Posted June 7, 2012 Members Share Posted June 7, 2012 the band Red is kick ass. Look them up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members brotherbass Posted June 7, 2012 Members Share Posted June 7, 2012 Red is awesome, we do the song "Faceless" both electric and acoustic and it always kills as does "death of me". If you call pull off the vocals, The Letter Black has some great stuff as does Pillar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nick H Posted June 7, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 7, 2012 All good suggestions so far, Ive looked into most of them. The gig is in 4 hours, so I dont think we really have time to learn anything. Red is awesome, we do the song "Faceless" both electric and acoustic and it always kills as does "death of me".

We were supporting a little known local artist named Paul Colman - who went on to achieve quite a bit. Great guy and a heap of fun. If you guys are young, like we were (15-17) you'll probably get away with it cos people think its cute. If you're older, dude you gotta prepare better! Hope it goes well. Don't really listen to the christian radio rock styles these days - but Skillet is a favourite of mine. Not exactly hard rock but good band.
