The Myriad are one of the more innovative bands on the Christian music scene these days. Now I know some people already just turned their brains off when I said “Christian music scene,” but please hear me out. They’re not the average Christian rock band what with having the most played video on MTV2 last May as well as having a song featured on Rock Band. The Myriad have a pretty epic sound that reminds me a lot of Muse and a little bit of Lovedrug. The band has been releasing EPs since 2002 and their debut full length You Can’t Trust a Ladder dropped in 2005. The Myriad signed with Koch Records and prepared to release the follow up, With Arrows, With Poise last May. The result is an excellent collection of rock songs that are at times ethereal and at others danceworthy. They had a minor hit on the Christian charts with “A Thousand Winters Melting” which is the most poppy and hopeful song on the record. Today’s tune is probably the heaviest and in my opinion the catchiest song on the record. Just try to keep yourself from singing along before it’s over. The Myriad are a promising young band and I see no reason why they couldn’t be huge in the future. Just jump on the bandwagon now so you can say you knew them when.The Myriad - "The Accident"
