Didn’t Chevelle start that way, or am I confused?

Che belle was once thought of as Christian.
Not sure I buy U2 as a Christian band. Pretty sure Christian music doesn’t have profanity. And they have 2-3 songs that do.

I know that Chevelle started off on Squint records, which I believe was a Christian label that featured "Christian" bands like Burlap to Cashmere, and Sixpence None the Richer. Oddly enough, most of those bands ended up shedding the 'Christian band' label. And a lot of other Christian bands at that time like MxPx, Zao, etc ended up doing the same.
It also wasn't uncommon for the Christian labels such as Takedown Records, the Militia Group, and Tooth and Nail Records (along with their sub-label, SolidState) to sign bands that were certainly NOT christian. One example being Frodus - who were awesome, and I would recommend to anyone who is into 90's Washington DC math rock/post-hardcore.

This is the label I remember most for Christian Rock.

POD played the role beautifully.
They started out unabashedly Christian (go back and listen to Brown, or watch the many, many Youth church conventions they played). Then they worked their way up, and shed the image by replacing words like God with Ja or other hidden meanings so they wouldn't alienate their original base.
Once the nu metal/rap rock well went dry, they went back to making appearances at churches preaching about the perils of the rockstar life and how God saved them and brought them home.
Truly genius stuff to remain relevant actually.

12 Stones, POD, and Underoath are bands I wouldn't consider Christian.
POD is probably more spiritual than anything else. Plus they drop F-bombs in that song 'I Am" (even though the meaning behind it is pretty spiritual).
quote:
Yes, profane. The album’s closing track, “I Am,” portrays the desperate inner turmoil of a soul trapped in pain, sin and confusion who is experiencing the dawning of the light of salvation and wondering if they are worth the effort. This pilgrim’s flesh recoils from the holiness of God. Lead vocalist Sonny Sandoval artfully captures the internal tension of spiritual rebirth in a way that is street-smart, culturally relevant and shocking. The lyric drops the F-bomb into the question, “Who are you?” (The word itself is conspicuously edited by a turntable scratch.) The choice makes perfect sense in this context and will likely turn the head of many of POD’s non-Christian fans as the band takes their proverbial gloves off in order to truthfully portray this dramatic moment. The song ends as the rhythmic churn slows, the defiance changes and the lyric quotes Revelation 21:5: “Behold I make all things new.” The tension resolves as the character surrenders and seemingly accepts the divine love on offer
Oh rly?

Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo is one of the best albums most people have never heard of.
Although I agree, imo Life In General tops it.
So many hits on there.

Pretty sure Chevelle started out as Christian.
Here's another one...Lifehouse.

Lol. Just saying. That kinda sheds the label in my opinion.

Bob Dylan went through a phase in the late 70s where he wrote Christian-inspired music. All I can add

When I read all these stories about Christian bands taking on and off the christian label when profitable, it just reminds me how trendy born-again christianity was in the late 90s and early 00s.

Well, it’s been pretty trendy for several centuries, tbh.

I listened to many of those “Christian” bands growing up. I’ll throw out a few, I think, Christian bands that I used to listen to back in the mid-2000s on Air1’s radio station and iTunes. To me, it seemed that the rock phase really fizzled out around 2010. Nowadays, the Christian stuff coming out is generic and blah especially contemporary Christian music. I switched to classic rock and big band music now. Anyway here’s some more to add:
Hawk Nelson was my favorite (more punk rock)- I believe their lead guitarist walked away from the faith not too long ago.
Red
Pillar
Evanescence
Disciple
Krystal Meyers
TobyMac
Thousand Foor Krutch
Falling Up
Plumb
The Letter Black

Lyrically, the band is mired in Catholic dogma.
Until the End of the World is about a hypothetical conversation between Judas Iscariot and Jesus Christ (actually more of a monologue by Judas to Jesus).

That U2 song is my favorite.

hahaha... I remember when the term christian rock/metal was considered an oxymoron

Evanescence is the only one I don't buy as Christian. The rest? Yes
