    i can't decide if this is funny or embarrassing. we have here a "christian punk" band, which is pretty silly to begin with (granted, i have no problem with christians being into punk, it's when they take on a punk identity that it gets goofy). they look like they'd sound like g.b.h. or the exploited. what with the spikes and leather and all that stuff, but musically they have more in common with the sex pistols. the fact that i find that style of punk totally boring isn't helping the case here. lyrically they promote christ (which is good) and berate anarchy (which is kind of iffy), but don't really give any reasoning for any of their stances. it just all seems so silly. and is it just me, or is it a little vain to spend all that time on your hair and clothes, and just appearance in general?
