oh and by the way, the reviewer is incorrect in saying Tooth and Nail is a Christian label. NOWHERE on their website do they say this, and their business ethics show that they aren't a Christian label as well. This is why Craig's Brother left tooth and nail and why MxPx is in a law suit with tooth and nail. good album, although "Homecoming" rates up in the best punk albums of all time to me. Oh and by the way about this whole Christian band subject, the reviewer is correct in assuming that Craig's Brother is not a Christian band. There is one Christian in the band, the man behind the lyrics and vocals. If you look at the lyrics he does write lyrics that talk about God. Craig's Brother wants to get away from the Christian label that bands are put under, much the same as MxPx and Juliana Theory. Ok. Why does everybody debate on the christian side of the band?!?!I thought we were just to comment the quality of the album... ""And one day we will be together in our final goal in the presence of He, Donkey Balls and Craig's Brother. You may be asking why I'm saying these two words together. Well I'll tell you Craig's Brother sucks Donkey Balls. There ya go folks. 1. their first album was amazing, i heard the new album just once, and i didn't like it... Man c tellement vrai ce que tu dit....blink ca suce que le criss....ca déja été pas si pire que ca....v'la longtemps.....mais c du criss de pop a chier asteur, on devrait la battre a coup de pic a glace ! okay first je parle en québécois parce l'anglais ca suce.... une autre chose qui suce c'est blink ... d'la vrai criss de marde ...c'est cool leur calis de probleme d'arrete de faire de tounes comme dammit pis faire d'la marde comme all the small things... c'est d'la vrai merde blink ... désolé les tites tites fille de 12 ans qui écoute ca... vous irez voir les BSB en meme temps... rendu ou y sont... blink dans ma tete c'est du pop pas du punk! nouvel album : à chier ... video clip crissement stupide pis je donne 1/10 par générausité du system de ste forum la! D'LA MARDE EN CANNE! After reading other people's comments, I felt the need to post something. Craig's Brother is no longer the band they were when they released "Homecoming." Many of the obviously Christian songs off of the aforementioned release were written by Adam who left the band some time ago. Since Homecoming, only Ted and Scott remain from that lineup. Ted himself is a Christian but he is the only one in the band as of now. That's where the reviewer got his "they are not a Christian band" comment" from. Oh, and by the way, they are NO LONGER ON TOOTH AND NAIL! This is how I understand it and I hope it cleared up the situation a little bit. Oh yeah, the album is fantastic. Having Dan Mclintock (from Inspection 12) play guitar and co-write some of the tunes is just a bonus. uh, you people are retarded. who cares if they're christian or not. or if its a christian label. let them preach if they wanna, and not if they dont. if you like the music, good. if not, then good. i highly doubt that tooth and nail has like a requirement section on their contracts. like, you must vow to be loyal to god... these aren't fucken jahova's, or however the fuck you spell it, witnesses. i wrote that comment. and if you read it, it said that the songwriter (lyrically) had to be a christian. that was taken from the tooth and nail FAQ. this FAQ was posted on the old website. and if you read the lyrics for pretty much every band on the rosterm the lyrics come from a positive, obviously god influced way of thinking. as for talking about somehting i don't know anything about, what was the first t&n release? wish for eden's pet the fish. dammit i bought that album, and i've been buying albums from many of their talented punk and hardcore artists since 1993. i've supported the labels ethics and style for several years. it's great these bands are getting a chance to showcase their music in a very close minded christian market. as for your examples of bands getting out to bigger festivals, bullshit! i said craig's brother needs to tour on a larger scale, and stop playing mainly christian venus. no shit their other bands are playing festivals. hell i'm glad my friends can finally dig bands i've been listening to for years. tooth and nail has awesome bands, and in each band the lyrics are written from a chirstian perspective. maybe the songwriter is the only christian. that's cool. who cares. i just think craig's brother is more image that reality. i've also helped one or two t&n artists create websites. i've met the people and talked to the bands. i've also been ripped off for several hundred dollars by one band. the only exeption to my quote from t&n about christian song writers is the cootees. some of the songs were written by mike(mxpx) and some were written by some one who wasn't a christian. and now finally. craig's brother is pretty christian. "And one day we will be together in our final goal in the presence of He, To the guy who says that you are required to be a Christian band if you are on Tooth and Nail, where did you come up with completely untrue comments like that. There is no requirement that every band on the label be a christian band. It is true that in the past a lot of the bands on that label were very serious about promoting there beliefs through their music, but if you look at their recent cd's, there are very few bands on that label who fit into that category. There are many bands that have christians as members, but that does not make them a christian band, because their main focus is not at all on ministry. Also, many of the bands on Tooth and nail have been getting out and playing to a more diverse audience. The juliana Theory is playing the warped tour this year on the main and second stages, element 101 is going to play some shows with NFG, slick shoes just toured with MxPx (maybe that is a bad example) and further seems forever has been playing shows all spring with a wide variety of differant bands. The Tooth and Nail roster today is much different than the roster of two or three years ago. Don't make statements that are untrue about something that you do0n't understand. i've heard that this is some really good slow punk. however, i still think this band is mediocre at best. i'm sick of all this "we're not a christian band" bullshit. if a band is signed to tooth and nail records, it's required the songwriter be a christian. ok. have you actually read the lyrics for the first CD? they're so christian. they openly sing about god and their beleifs. that'not bad. but then why, do they play largly christian festivals, shows etc? if they don't want to be assocaited with that label, than try and play with some decent bands, try actually touring on a bigger scale, and get you cd's into other music stores. you can only buy them at christian book stores usually!!!! |
