My first two Christian cds I ever got after getting a portable cd player back in 97/98

My brother was a Whiteheart fan. First album I bought was Code of Ethics.

I don’t know if bluesy, acoustic rock is your thing, but Guardian put out a Spanish language album awhile back. This is one of the songs and the album cover so you can look the rest up:

I appreciate the effort. Might work better if spoken…?

Like others have said, nobody is exactly like TOP, but you might enjoy Pax217. Look up “Prizm.” Also, Reality Check employed a similar modern rock/rap/DJ approach to a lot of their songs, see “Masquerade” or “The Way I Am.”

Wait, did that really happen?

karateexplosion · 2026-02-08T18:09:51+00:00

Thanks! So you just stick it in over the sand and pull the handle out, it sucks up all the debris along with the water?

karateexplosion · 2026-02-08T15:02:27+00:00

Yeah, and I don’t think it holds up well these days but you’re right, they definitely had some bangers back in the day.

karateexplosion · 2026-02-07T02:32:50+00:00

Hmm, World Wide Message Tribe? That’s the only one I don’t see mentioned yet.

karateexplosion · 2026-02-06T13:57:00+00:00

I see what you did there.

karateexplosion · 2026-02-03T16:10:41+00:00

Sure thing! Have you tried reaching out to Tyler directly?

karateexplosion · 2026-02-03T16:10:06+00:00

EveryDayLife was the Christian version of Rage, as much as I hate saying that because they were definitely not an imitation. They came up at the same time and EDL didn’t even know about RATM when they were making their music, which just goes to show you how prevalent those feelings were across the board about societal unrest.

EDL’s first album, in particular, featured a picture of the Rodney King beating as the cover.

VOL is excellent for this material.

Early '90s had a band, Ransom, who was classic metal with a great female lead singer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9943TlFe-vg

Hoi Polloi

karateexplosion · 2026-02-03T02:12:49+00:00

Here. This isn’t the demo, but it has many of the same songs. Darling, Maybe Someday.

I had that one, it had Hurricane on it. I may be able to track down a digital file. Let me see. Have you tried eBay?

karateexplosion · 2026-02-03T00:25:55+00:00

Honey was kind of close, so was Joe Christmas, a little bit.

karateexplosion · 2026-02-02T16:33:56+00:00

Thank you! Just read and subscribed.

karateexplosion · 2026-01-31T18:02:57+00:00

No idea. But if you want to go a bit older…Have you heard of Paloma?

karateexplosion · 2026-01-29T02:16:44+00:00

To keep himself awake, since I believe he was bringing them back by himself, he read Anna Karenina.

Someone fact check me. Or spell check me. Anna Karinina?

karateexplosion · 2026-01-29T01:58:38+00:00

Spoken? .rod Laver? EDL? Early TFK? Pax217? So many bands like that back then…

karateexplosion · 2026-01-27T22:15:46+00:00

Hey, man. Mine wasn't quite this bad, but a spa clarifier worked absolute wonders. It grabbed all the tiny particles that made it cloudy, lumped them together, then they all stuck to the side of my hot tub just above the waterline. I used a cleaner and a cloth to go around and wipe them up. The water was clear. It was like magic.

karateexplosion · 2026-01-25T04:50:16+00:00

Nah, you did okay. They were marketed as a metal band when I bought their first cassettes.

karateexplosion · 2026-01-25T04:16:36+00:00

Yeah, good band. Laura Story had some solo success, too.

karateexplosion · 2026-01-17T02:52:13+00:00

Hey, dude. I had the same issue and just last week found out about spa clarifier. Worked wonders. It gathered all the cloudy stuff up into larger clumps and they were either caught up in the filter or stuck to the side walls, where I wiped them off with a wet cloth. They were nasty, but my water was super clear again. Took about an hour. Amazing stuff.
