Didn't Want To Wait...

I don't really know why, but when I first started this blog, I was gonna wait to do my favorite band. I just don't know why. Hailing from the big PA, August Burns Red has really made their way up the ranks to be, what I imagine, one of the biggest metalcore/hardcore (I don't even know what these terms mean) bands out there, secular or Christian. Among the other bands in their genre, they have a sound unlike any other. Now, I also imagine that their sound also turns a large amount of people off who just want to flail and jump around like barbarians and hit people (perhaps) unintentionally. But because of this style of theirs, they can, and very much do, offer such a variety of refreshingly different songs. Their lead vocalist, Jake Luhrs, has an awesome Christian testimony that can be found on Youtube. I guess I could post that video too. I don't know who in the band writes their lyrics, but those also have some solid spiritual content as well. All in all, they are quite the wonderful group of musicians. I'm actually gonna post a handful of things, so bear with me. The first one is a music video of theirs, so if you don't watch anything else, that's the one to watch. The second is the testimony, and the third is just a cool video of their cool drummer, Matt Greiner (pronounced Gry-ner).

P.S. - Jake Luhrs also made a ministry website www.heartsupport.com. It's actually an awesome site. From what I see, it looks like Jake and other members of the band post on the site about themselves and their faith and there's a blog thing and prayer thing and some other things. Please check it out.
