Hello,
Lately I've gotten on the Fireflight bandwagon, but I want some more bands with great lyrics(by great I mean, hardcore Christian lyrics type thing) like Worth Dying For and Re:zound.
Can someone help me out here? I really am new to anything more then celtic or classical music...lol

ok, if you want music with lyrical content that is inspiring & insightful, check out the following bands & artists:
Dogwood--melodic skate punk
Mortal--some industrial, some Beatles-esque tunes..
Stavesacre--heartfelt and brooding at the same time.
U2--i'm sure you know who this is
The Prayer Chain--anthemic alternative rock
The Crucified--thrash/hardcore punk
and finallly....
Scaterd Few--Sin Disease--fast, mellow, thought-provoking at the same time.

Most of this is not Punk Rock, but I don't think it sounds like you're really looking for punk rock anyway.
Search some other threads on this board about Rock artists and such, Myself and several others have made a nice huge list.
I don't feel like rehashing that, but I will say that for meaningful lyrics and awesome rock music, I recommend Seventh Day Slumber and Decemberadio. Those two bands are incredible.
ALSO, if you click the link in my signature, and can stream music online, DO IT, you'll hear alot of REALLY good artists that you'll like alot on that radio station.

Truly, none of the artists listed are punk. Like I've said many times before, Christian punk is an oxymoron. Punk music is full of the angst and anger of a generation fed up with self-indulgent fat cats. Not exactly a genre that lends itself to uplifting lyrics.

MXPX is punk if you ask me. Therefore you cannot say that Christian Punk bands do not exist. :)

I agree MXPX is punk, but their lyrics are not typically Christian. To me they fall under the heading "Christians in a band" rather than "Christian Band". What's the difference? IMO a Christian band is one whose lyrics are Christ centered and/or scripturally based, e.g. Third Day, Jars of Clay, Casting Crowns. "Christians in a band" would be groups like POD, MXPX, U2.

I haven't heard anything from U2 that was punk since listening to their first demo before Boy. Once the songs got produced by Steve Lillywhite they weren't punk anymore. Perhaps live they were still raw but there's only 1 person on CW I know of who ever saw them back in that day.
Punk has an all new meaning today.
