I'm diggin' that. I show people this style of music and all they say is, "i dont know what they are saying" , "this is the devils music". I just laugh. I'm a drummer and I am mainly listening to the band and not the singer. the breakdowns, the melodies just get me going and my fingers twitching to the beat. I get hyped listening to "Engine 45" by Ghost Inside. almost all of my metal bands I listen to are Christian : Sleeping Giant, War of Ages, Gideon, Mychildren Mybride, Texas in July, Rival Choir. but I am a musician and in that, I am diverse.
I grew up listening to Eric Clapton, Tower of Power, Earth Wind & Fire, the Commodores, Steely Dan, Garth Brooks, George Strait. I remember in '95 watching Sin Bad's Summer Jam of '94 and watching ConFunkshun and that led my to wanting to play drums.
But now i listen to more bands and EDM than I do of whats on the radio.
Bands:
Bad Suns, Transit, Polar Bear Club, Half Moon Run, PVRIS
EDM:
Chvrches, Purity Ring, Lights, Broods, The Naked and Famous
I was in a SKA band in Mississippi. We were called LIL MOE & THE GOODTIME GANG. (songs are on youtube)
I played Trombone in this band
