Looking to start Catholic punk band in CHICAGO!
I am a 25 year old vocalist/guitarist looking to start a Catholic punk band in the Chicagoland area. My last band was The Carry Outs http://www.xanga.com/thecarryouts. I also used to do a zine called Rock N Roll High School and a punk public access cable TV show called Loud TV. After living in Europe for 7 years, I have come back to Chicago and would like to get back into playing music.
Considering that the Catholic Church is the largest Christian Church in the world and the one that was founded by Jesus Christ, with over 1 billion members, it is surprising that there are not that many Catholic punk bands. It is a shame that more Catholics are not spreading the Faith through the medium of punk rock like the Evangelicals are.
I would like to start a Catholic punk band of any style (my preference is pop punk in the vein of the Ramones, Squirtgun, Screeching Weasel, Beatnik Termites, Mr T Experience, early MxPx, and early Green Day, basically LOOKOUT records type stuff....the good kind of pop punk, no cheesy commercialized stuff). I would like most of the songs to incorporate themes in our music that have to do with the Catholic faith. On the other hand I am not closed to doing some songs that, while not having a bad message, are not directly related to the Faith. I also speak Spanish so we would have the possibility of doing some songs in Spanish.
If you play any instrument and are 18 yrs old or older, a practicing Catholic who accepts ALL of the teachings of the Catholic Church in faith, morals, and discipline, give me a call or send me an email.
