They are really nice dudes and the band is entertaining to watch at least once.
Stayed at their dads house/church when i went to chicago once and he tried to sell me a bunch of different kinds of hats, weird dude.

Fun band. They always put on a good show. Saw them twice. The first time was along time ago in my small little home town before they were big. It was in an auditorium with a bunch seats and no rooms to dance still we managed to have a pit. It was crazy.

Really bothered by all the hate speak on here. Would anyone have a problem if they were Jewish? or Black? or Homosexual? I'm not a christian, but why can't a band be judged on their music rather than their faith? They don't preach, they just play music they love. If you don't like their music, fine, don't listen. If you are intolerant of their faith, then you are just as prejudiced as a racist or Nazi. Seriously people, get over yourselves.

These guys are stand up fellas. They increase the peace and have a faith system that is personal to them. Every artists tends to believe in something and that influences the music they write. So many of you "punx" have been brainwashed to hate anything that is traditional and real to people's of faith.

C. Picciolini makes a good point...would you guys belittle a band that had Jewish, Muslim, or Islamic members? So while you preach tolerance and acceptance, keep yourself in check and realize your a bunch of morons when acting like negative goons that blast a band for a faith that is personal to them.

If I ever see you guys trashing this band again on here I will personally pull a Jay and Silent Bob and go to your house personally and beat the ever-living squeaks outta ya.

Keepin' it real for the black man,

A Gigantic Viking.
