Hey guys :3

I was wondering if anyone has heard of this band. They say they are Christians so that's pretty cool what do you guys think of them?

heres a link to their myspace http://www.myspace.com/psalters

I love the Psalters. I've been meaning to listen to more of their stuff.

Out of curiosity, can you expand on what their "different beliefs" are?

If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things."

I can't get a feel for what they are, other than Christian. At first I thought maybe they're Reformed, since they use the word "psalter" as their band name. I'll have to check them out more.

YAY! I didn't think that anyone knew them!

Well about a year ago I listened to one of their interview and didn't really agree on everything but I just watched it again and I change my mind lol ^^

I saw these guys in concert with mewithoutYou a few years back. I also had a potluck with both them and MWY. They were very weird but cool. They got some interesting stuff.

In a couple of places on wikipedia, they are refered to as anarcho-punk. Essentially, they are being described as Christian anarchists.

Wiki Link 1
Wiki Link 2
Wiki Link 3

I do not know the story behind the band, but I think people should be VERY discerning when listening to/dealing with ideas of anarchism, "Christian" or otherwise. Personally, I do not hold that anarchism and the New Testament are compatible, but even if you do not share my belief, just be careful, OK?

Yes I was a bit concerned with that. I don't believe that there is a perfect political processes on earth but we do need one so live with each other.
