(movie) ChristCore(2012) – the other side of hardcore punk

Is spirituality important in hardcore music? Back in the nineties we had Krishna hardcore bands, but besides that one more scene reared its head and it is Christian hardcore scene with lots of bands and people that worship and love this kind of hardcore. I must admit that I didn’t know much about that scene until watching this movie. This one follows three bands called Messengers, Sleeping Giant, and For Today on their road, following their gigs, worship, healing prayers etc…We also find out more about one of the greatest Christian hardcore labels called Facedown Records and I must admit that I was a sceptic when this scene is concerned. But, the music is great, lyrics are set to debate whether you believe or not. Me personally are not believer and not Christian, so they don’t work for me, but this movie is an important documentary about one big scene and features good music by good bands. Go watch this one!
