“Within the last several years, there have been a number of very popular bands – including P.O.D., Evanescence, Switchfoot, Sixpence None the Richer and Mercy Me – that got their start by signing with Christian record labels or by playing at Christian music festivals. These bands have succeeded in large part because, unlike Petra and the other successful Christian rock bands of the 80’s and early 90’s, they have avoided being too preachy and yet found a way to keep God between the lines.”
