I had heard of them from my buddy Dave back in the day. Dave was pretty dialed into what was happening in Christian music and generally had decent taste. By '86 my interest in a lot of CCM (for the unwashed that stands for Contemporary Christian Music) because most of what I was hearing was inferior. I know Larry Norman asked, "Why should the devil have all the good music." He wasn't entirely right, but he was close enough to bury most of what passed for music being sold in Christian Bookstores. One the hallmarks of being Christian was trying to copy what was popular in "secular" music. The problem was there was a lag of about five or more years. Of course I'm generalizing, there were a handful of bands that were just plain good, but for me most was borderline awful. Around this time some smaller aggressive labels started to pop up. Frontline was one of them and the acts they were signing were actually contemporary. The problem was for them to be market...
A place where I just blather on about shit that I either miss, or am excited about. Or I could just be deliberately trying to waste your time. I generally really don't know what I'm talking about. Sometimes I do. Sometimes this is like a stream of consciousness brain dump. I like to think of it as a reaction video, without the video ... mostly though it's just me rambling ... it's meanderambling. #oldenoughtoforget
