Here is the thing. I've been involved in the underground hardcore punk scene most of my life. When I was saved a few months ago I stopped listening to all my records. I had collected records since I was 12 years old and I am now 38. I was saved 4 months ago. I don't miss the lyrical content but I miss the music. I never paid as much attention to lyrics, or so I thought, as the music. I realized when I started listening to Christian music, that I the punk music did have an effect. The lyrics did get in there. I have played in various underground hardcore bands throughout my life. So now what saves me is my guitar and a drum machine. I have the ability to write songs that are Christian songs in the style I like. I can play guitar, bass guitar and drums. I use acoustica beatcraft though and some good acoustic drum samples instead of the ones that come with the program. I write lyrics, I started this before my walk with Christ because most people don't like to write lyrics. What I am finding difficult is music in a Christian form of the hardcore I like. There are two bands that I know of that fit the old school style I grew up on pretty well. Those bands would be officer negative and the crucified first album. I'm talking about the "take up your cross" album by the Crucified. However there is some confusion in both the secular scene and Christian scene as to what Hardcore Punk is. You have the true Hardcore D.I.Y. ethic that has run below the radar forever. No corporate sponsor all "D.I.Y." This is something that is not so important, the politics of punk and it's factions. I just would like to know if there is anything Christian like D.I.Y. punk. To clarify, I'm not talking about the metal hybrid hardcore that came out in the early 90's from the east coast mainly. Even though there were earlier east coast bands that were awesome in sound. Not to focus on that. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Thank you and God bless.
