I want to start a Christian rock/punk band?

Question

Does anyone have any tips, I know it's slightly different than a normal rock band because God is the main focus. Also, if anyone's interested I posted an ad here: http://www.joinmyband.co.uk/jmb/viewtopic.php?t=22130.

Cheers in advance guys. ^^

Answer 2

I play bass in a Christian band, and we recorded a short six-track album earlier this year, which was great!

The most important thing I can say is just have fun, and make the most of your gifting! Work to your strengths, and keep worshipping God at the centre.

If you've got any previous experience of playing in a band, you'll probably know how important it is to listen to each other as you play, and find someone to lead so that everyone knows exactly what they are doing. Important!: make sure your bassist is paying attention to what the drummer's doing!!!!

Try and write music from a more generally open point of view, because what I dislike about a lot of my band's songs is that they were written on the piano, so often there isn't a lot for me to do on bass other than play root-note chords which is extremely boring. The songs that are written on guitar are always the most interesting for me, because I get to play some more challenging stuff then!

Good luck with your band!!! xx
