Sanctus Real is a great Christian band I discovered about five years ago. Now I know that some people immediately turn their brain off when they hear that a band is a “Christian” band, but Sanctus Real is worth being heard. I first heard today’s song on a sampler CD from a Christian book store in the summer of 2002. I really dug this track and was anticipating their debut, Say It Loud, but it didn’t actually come out until the spring of 2003. When I was finally able to get my hands on it, I wasn’t disappointed. It’s a great album of rocking songs with a positive, Christ-centered message. Sanctus Real seem very genuine, not like their trying to make a Christian version of popular secular music. Truthfully I think it’s sad that Sanctus Real limit themselves to only the Christian market. Their songs could easily make it on mainstream radio and then they would have a whole new audience on their hands. They’ve release two other records since Say It Loud, both of which are great, but I still seem to prefer this one. So even if you have an aversion to “Christian” bands, I think you should listen to Sanctus Real and let them change your mind.
One new song everyday until I get tired of doing it again. Click on the artist's name to get more information about them. Click on the album art for purchase information. Click on the play button to listen for yourself. Enjoy.
