I was wondering if anyone has heard of this band. They say they are Christians but they seem to have very different beliefs. I was wondering what other people thought of them.
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?

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.

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.
