FIVE WORSHIP BANDS YOU AREN’T HEARING IF YOU ONLY LISTEN TO KLOVE


LET ME PREFACE MY NEXT STATEMENT WITH THIS…

I THINK THAT KLOVE IS AN AWESOME MINISTRY. THEY PLAY CHRISTIAN MUSIC, THEY HAVE PEOPLE AVAILABLE TO PRAY WITH YOU 24/7 AND THEY CHANGE A LOT OF LIVES.

WITH THAT BEING SAID… I’M A KLOVE HATER. IF YOU LOVE IT – THEN JAM IT WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART – BUT I HAVE A HARD TIME LISTENING TO IT. THE MAJORITY OF THE STUFF THAT I LISTEN TO DOESN’T GET AIRPLAY ON KLOVE AND FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CAN’T UNDERSTAND WHY. WHAT CONFUSES ME EVEN MORE IS THAT THEY PLAY THE SONGS THESE GUYS WRITE AFTER THEY GET RECORDED BY SOMEONE ELSE. AFTER SCOURING THROUGH FORUMS, FAQS AND DOING SEVERAL GOOGLE SEARCHES… I CAN’T FIND ANYTHING FROM KLOVE ACKNOWLEDGING WHY THEY DON’T PLAY ANY OF THIS STUFF. MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE A LOT OF IT IS RECORDED LIVE. MAYBE THIS WORSHIP STUFF ISN’T MAIN-STREAM ENOUGH FOR THE RADIO. WHO KNOWS? ALL I KNOW IS THAT THERE IS SOME GOOD MUSIC OUT THERE THAT YOU GUYS NEED TO CHECK OUT AND I’M THE MAN TO GET IT TO YOU. SO LET’S GO!

1.) UNITED PURSUIT – THESE GUYS HAVE AN AWESOME STORY. THEY BASICALLY ALL MOVED IN TOGETHER JUST SO THEY COULD WORSHIP WITH EACH OTHER WHENEVER THEY WANTED. THEY HAVE WRITTEN SOME HITS LIKE BREAK EVERY CHAIN AND SET A FIRE. CHECK OUT THEIR ALBUM LIVE AT THE BANKS HOUSE WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE. IT’S A MUST-HAVE FOR ANY WORSHIP LEADER.

2.) JESUS CULTURE – THESE GUYS ARE KIND OF THE MIDDLE GROUND BETWEEN THE WORSHIP STUFF THAT I SEEK OUT AND THE MAIN STREAM STUFF THAT COMES ON KLOVE. I CAN PLAY PRETTY MUCH EVERY ONE OF THEIR ALBUMS AND LET IT PLAY THROUGH AND NEVER REALLY FEEL THE NEED TO SKIP A TRACK. I’M NOT EVEN GOING TO RECOMMEND AN ALBUM… JUST PICK ONE AND START JAMMING!

3.) BETHEL MUSIC – BETHEL CHURCH IS WHERE JESUS CULTURE GOT ITS START. THEY HAVE SEVERAL ARTISTS THAT LEAD WORSHIP AND ALL OF THEM BRING SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO THE TABLE. MATT STINTON, JEREMY RIDDLE, BRIAN JOHNSON AND JENN JOHNSON TO NAME A FEW. CHECK OUT FOR THE SAKE OF THE WORLD WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE. IT’S CURRENTLY MY FAVORITE WORSHIP ALBUM.

4.) JOHN MARK MCMILLAN – YOU’VE PROBABLY HEARD THE SONG HOW HE LOVES. IT WILL FOREVER BE MY FAVORITE WORSHIP SONG AND JOHN IS THE GUY WHO WROTE IT. JOHN IS VERY POETIC IN HIS WRITING. I PROBABLY SPEND MORE TIME MEDITATING ON HIS LYRICS THAN I DO LISTENING TO THE ACTUAL MUSIC. CHECK OUT THE SONG INSIDE THE SOUNDS OF BREAKING DOWN. EVERY SONG ON IT IS GREAT.

5.) NEW LIFE WORSHIP – NEW LIFE CHURCH IS REALLY SIMILAR TO BETHEL CHURCH. THEY PRODUCED A GREAT BAND (DESPERATION BAND) AND THEY’RE CONSISTENTLY CHURNING OUT GREAT WORSHIP SONGS AND WORSHIP LEADERS. LISTEN TO THE STRONG GOD ALBUM – YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED.
