Best up-and-coming local band in the area.

These guys are for real!
I personally know most of them and they're great guys. They are extremely talented and will amount to so much in the music industry and life.

i have only seen them play once and they were pretty dang good. definitely worth going out to see them! seem like nice guys, but who knows?

I CAN NEVER STOP LISTENING TO THIS MUSIC

Super legit. =]
I had heard some of the member's old band stuff, but I'm definitely liking the new stuff a lot.

really awesome band. had them come play down in big NACOGDOCHES a couple months ago and they def. rock.

they are solid guys with some good music playin skillz

This music makes me think about life. The live shows are raw and personel. Amazing people. Listen and cherish the music!

It is in may that you take tweezers and an angry angry angel if any to dunk and dive pretty darn deep into the down town area deep to find and even mercilessly rip lots of the tall mossy weeds when it's from yours or the guts and bowels and especially of yours or my subtly boring breathing spitting sneezing technique.

Highlight every third word in this (run on) sentence for a surprise!

sweet guys and totally sweet music! For sure worth checkin out.

These guys are amazing musicians with catchy rhythms and and lyrics. The Way You Behave is an incredible album and worth checking out.
Amazing music, Love for God, Awesome guys!

pete you've come across the newest local sensation!

Dear Fakebook,

Ha I'm glad you wrote that. I hope things get better for you. The fact that you said those things, tells us a little about you. You don't know us apparently, so do not pretend like you do. You might of said some true things, but the false ideas outweigh the suspected truth. but Im sorry that it bothered you enough to write that comment. Thats unfortunate.

Fakebook,

I respect that reply. Im glad your honest. You sound very intelligent. Hope its not you being some pseudo intellectual. Once again I will say that you don't know us, and you are judging us just a bit. Contact us personally if you want to keep on talking. Love to throw some ideas around.

I don't know...
I personally have some questions about God and I think its obvious that these guys do too. It doesn't seem to me like they're forcing God on anyone-I've seen them twice and both times they never even mentioned it.
I admire the fact that they let the music speak for itself and let the listener interpret it however they want. They aren't your typical underoath-type band that has to mention it every time they get a chance. Its just like, "take what you want from this."

I dig it guys, keep up the good work.

Wow! Even I love this music! Keep a-rockin'!

"The Way You Behave" has nothing to do with being preachy, but everything to do with individuals.

It's not about sin, or redemption, or Jesus. It's about people doing things they honestly don't want to do. Keeping quiet on the outside and screaming on the inside. This is a social commentary as well as a personal evaluation.

I hate doing things people expect me to do, but I do them anyway. I'm sure its the same for a lot of people. It's meant to point that out, and make people do what they should do, and stop doing what other people expect them to do. Not point out sin.

If all you look for in music is a song that will pump you up or get you pissed than I feel sorry for you. Sorry, our music will never do that. You guys gotta start thinking before you just go and assume things and insult other people in the process. There's already enough of that going around.

Not to say that the EP name doesn't have spiritual undertones of instances from our own lives, but it was deliberately left open enough to be applied to the lives of more than just Christians.

Why is it the best thing anyone can ever say about a Christian band is that they don't sound Christian?

What are you people afraid of? Own the courage of your convictions. Kanye West released "Jesus Walks" as a single and it was all over the radio.

Why are you guys so oblique about your subject matter? If your songs aren't about faith, salvation, redemption, morality ("How You Behave") or spirituality, then what are they about?

Are you afraid to say Jesus' name in your songs because it might minimize the size of your potential audience?

Awesome lyrics. Can't wait for more.

hey i just really wanna talk about how smart i am and how i know everything about music. that cool with you? okay yeah well i think i have all your songs figured out and stuff and i just think im really cool for that. but good job cause you almost fooled this DC9 reader!! oh and all these comments are fake because i would know. i personally asked each person that left you a comment if they have been to a show or listened to your music...and oh crap...they acually have so nevermind... i hate your music. i dont know why im wasting my time leaving this comment because its USELESS to come to a website and just talk crap about people, but i guess i have nothing better to do so here ya go, fakebook! let me know if you ever wanna go to a slayer concert or sit around and check people's IP addresses cause i love doing that. oh and while we are at it, lets go insult other bands because thats really a constructive use of time.

Ha who is this fakebook guy? Last comment I started to feel bad for you. You don't like this band...Wonderful!

I think these guys know what's up and have good heads on their shoulders. I like them...that's also wonderful!

Hope this is a joke on your part.

hey liles,

first of all kick-ass name.

second, can you please tell us all another one of your delicious anecdotes?

thank you so much.

one of your many fans,

anonymous

Dear FakeBook,

observe this.
GET FUCKED IN ASS!!

get some!
Fuckbook

OK, here's another delicious anecdote:

Once there was a girl who went to the same high school I did. Not at the same time, mind you, but that's neither here nor there.

Her father was a Deacon in the church. She sang in the choir. They were a very religious family. Dad soon came up with the idea of encouraging his daughter to become a Christian pop singer.

Cha-ching.

Her first demos were atrocious. Even she admits it. Dad still thought they were great. They were songs by his little girl, after all. This was the word of God. It was a match made in Heaven.

Then, like a shot out of the dark, her tits starting getting huge. So big, in fact, that she used to cry herself to sleep at night. "I'm a freak!" she screamed into the abyss. "God is punishing me!"

(She was a freak, btw. She looked like a long-boobed mongoose. Maybe she was part hyena.)

So she quit school in shame and threw herself into her singing. Dad got a bright idea: ditch the Christian shit and take his daughters boobs straight to the sinners and sickies. His girl landed a record deal with Sony and it was on. Never did get that high school diploma.

Of course, since she sold her soul to Satan, she wouldn't be needing any high school diploma. She landed a key role in the film "Dukes of Hazzard". Now she was rich. Her first album sold so many copies that Dad was able to wrangle a record deal for her kid sister.

Cha-ching.

Soon both of them were platinum-selling recording artists spreading the word of God. Or teenage sex. Or whatever delivered the Benjis.

Then the older sister hooked up with the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, aka "God's Team". This was not good. Satan was seen in one of Jerry Jones' private boxes at Texas Stadium during the playoffs.

Of course, Dallas lost every game that she attended.

As soon as the season was over, mongoose boobs went back into the studio to record a country and western album. Dad figured maybe she could reconnect with mainstream America; people of God and guns and pick-up trucks and meth labs.

Cha-ching, right? (Silence.)

That didn't work out so well for anybody. Less than a year later, the new record label dropped her like a hot crack pipe. Pictures of her wearing high-top Sears brand blue jeans appeared in National Enquirer, and the mainstream media picked up on the fact she now weighs 210 lbs.

God had apparently had enough. He doesn't like people ditching him to get rich. I don't blame him.

The moral of the story: if you share the same last name as O.J. Simpson, you won't be too hard to find in the TMZ database.

Anonymous comments are like assholes- they all look the same, and they're usually full of shit.

But you're not. You're a genius.

You're the lone exception.

(If anybody has ever seen "Flight of the Conchords", this guy is like the male "Mel", the lone fan for this Christian rock combo. He's willing to do anything to make them feel special, including making up 35 fake names and posting 35 fake comments to make it look like they have a rabid following. He's awesome!!! He follows them around everywhere; from church to Young Life to Boy Scouts to Arby's and then back to church... every weeknight. After tucking them all in bed, he watches a replay of the Glenn Beck show and then jerks off to a Creed CD.)

Hey everyone! In case anyone has forgotten, this article is supposed to be about the band, not ourselves. Although it has been funny to read all the comments of people making complete fools of themselves, let's not forget that this group of talented guys is trying to get their band out there. I understand that some fake names have been used, but there are real fans on here that are trying to support these guys, despite what anyone may think. It would be greatly appreciated if the comments from now on were only from real supporters of the band and anyone else can just hold their thoughts in their heads or maybe for funzies write it down in a journal or something.

This band has yet to disappoint... love "the mouth," fantastic song. Keep up the great work guys.

I think Fakebook is really Chris G. pranking the crap out of all of us. LOL@ChrisGildea!

It isn't Chris, it's Eric Nystrom. Back again, determined to bring The Captive down.

Your band is infantile.

Just admit your doing it to get rich and get laid.

Just be honest. Is it that hard?

These people posting on here are all obviously fake.

Just like you.

Just like your music.

Jesus, protect us from your followers!

never heard you guys before today but you have a great sound, very ACB. and i listened to your stuff on myspace and it's even better. do another show in fort worth soon.

I love their music it is so cool
